NO. Absolutely not.

Kentucky governor is a D.


I have good news for you Sage

Kentucky got rid of that in 21.
quote:

Whereas state law previously allowed the sitting governor to make his or her own appointment to fill a Senate vacancy with no restrictions, Senate Bill 228 passed by the Kentucky legislature in the 2021 session changed that.

Under the amended law, the governor now may only choose from three names recommended by the executive committee of the outgoing senator's state party, and must make that selection within 21 days of receiving the list from the party.

With both of Kentucky's senators currently being Republican, the choosing of those three nominees would be up to the executive committee of the Republican Party of Kentucky, which is made up of 54 members.

.this isn't a win win . This just expose mitch for being a globalist uniparty cocksucker

Another member posted similar to this. So I went and looked it up. Kentucky amended it in 21. Majority picks 3 candidates for the gov to pick from. Current majority party is (R).

Thune would not be where he is w/o Turtle.

Turtle is Thune's mentor.

Thune plays along better with a poker face than Paul Ryan did, because he has to.

In that case, WTF is Thune waiting on?

At this point just remove him from every communication within the party.

He serves no one but himself.

Since Biden was fraudulently installed, what has McTurtle done, other than to thwart and retard anything even remotely reserving a conservative agenda?

He's a bitter old testudine with rapidly declining mental and physical health. He had his purpose and did a few good things for a while, but he's just another embodiment of Trump Derangement Syndrome at this point.

I'm torn. Part of me wants to see the Nu-(R) Order completely excoriate and banish him... But another part of me says just let him fade into oblivion because he's not long for this earth.

Nope. Just strip him of any committee appointments and let him die on the vine.

He should. But they are all in on the inside. No one goes down in the club.

There's a special place in hell for the turtle but disenfranchising his voters because you don't like the way he voted is a great way is about as antidemocracy as communism.

You all are being being far too nice. Put the bastard in prison for all the money he's spent a career stealing from the tax payers. Let him be an example (along with Pelosi and all the others) to all"public servants" who dare to try to game the system for their own benefit.

The voters hate him. They only voted for him, because the only other choice was a Democrat...which he has turned into.
