Ya all will undoubtedly be pleased to meet Mitch McConnell's staff, all of whom are being paid, during his absence:

"Kentucky’s Democratic Governor Andy Beshear has repeatedly pushed for information on the senator’s well-being from his office, and last week told Bloomberg that it was up to his staff to "step up and to be honest and transparent." Members of McConnell's team, however, have routinely declined to provide concrete answers in response to questions about him, which has now led to scrutiny of their finances and the salaries being drawn during their boss’ absence."

"Taken together, McConnell’s staffers took home just under $4 million between April 1, 2025 and March 31, 2026—the most recent 12-month period for which figures were available—and many of his top employees enjoy salaries above the senator’s own official earnings. Below are the six highest paid staffers employed by McConnell, whose annual salaries have been calculated by doubling their reported pay for the most recent six-month period disclosed on LegiStorm."

The latest: "Sen. Mitch McConnell says he’s been discharged from rehabilitation center".  "McConnell in a statement Thursday, gave no specific date for his return to the Senate."

Why not issue a video as proof of life instead of a written statement?...

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t regret my vote against Trump, but I long for better days.  Also, I reckon I’ll be voting pro-Israel in ‘28 and that is not gonna be AOC.   You?

"Also, I reckon I’ll be voting pro-Israel in ‘28 and that is not gonna be AOC.  You?"

If it's AOC or Newsom, I won't be voting...
The current frontrunner for the GOP--"JD" isn't any better in that regard except you probably won't see him repeating the same BS HAMAS topic point of genocide in Gaza which is total HS and repeated by the likes of Bernie Sanders who has been duped into believing it along with the rest of the so-called progressives...

Since Mitch is unavailable to vote in the senate, two Republican senators hold the fate of Todd Blanche's appoint to AG. My guess is Cassidy folds and votes for him while Murkowski doesn't so a tie ensues which is broken by "JD" and Blanche proceeds in his role as the newly annointed personal AG of Trump.
Anybody see it differently?

I see Dr Cassidy folded as I thought he would since he's the political hack that he's always been and that, according to CNN, clears the path for Blanche. Same story for his previous actions with Trump even when Trump dumped on him and cost him his seat in the senate.   So much for that "physician"...

Oh, I see Cassidy's "reasoning" is that Blanche should be appointed AG because, if not, Trump would only nominate someone worse! Er, ah, we've already had Pam Bondi so how much worse could it be? I think Blanche is just a smarter, male version of Bondi, otherwise they're the same with the same allegiance to Trump and not to the American people which is what the AG position is supposed to be about in the first place...
PS: I hope the next Democratic president appoints their own version of their AG and not another feckless version of Garland...the king of fleckless.

Speaking of AGs, and Garland in particular, it's interesting to note what Hunter had to say about him:


"The single greatest mistake of my father's administration was the leadership of Merrick Garland," Hunter Biden said in a clip shared on X."


"Biden said Garland should have opened what he described as a "100% legitimate investigation" into Trump's actions following the 2020 election."

"He pointed to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and argued there was sufficient information to pursue an investigation."

"He also questioned why the classified documents case against Trump was brought in Florida rather than Washington, D.C."

"And then they bring the documents case in Florida, rather than in D.C. I mean, I don't get it. I absolutely don't get it," Hunter Biden said."

Of course, he's referring to judge Aileen MAGA Cannon in Florida in the documents case...
