Decrepit, Corrupt Corporatist and Enforcer of the Deep State Mitch McConnell Will Finally Step Down From Senate Leadership... In November
Update: He Claims He "Plans" to Serve Out His Term Until 2027
The retirement of a Chinese agent.
Seung Min KimThis means McConnell will also leave the Senate. This controlling cocksucker narcissist will not serve as merely "1 of 100." He will ragequit like Kevin McCarthy did. He is too exalted a being to serve in any capacity except king. Before you celebrate, note that McConnell's term is incomplete. And the governor of Kentucky is a liberal Democrat, Andy Bashear. Bashear will appoint a Democrat to fill the seat until a special election is held, and he will have every incentive to delay this special election as long as the law permits. (I don't know how long -- maybe three months or six months at most, I'd guess.) Now, Kentucky's legislature passed a law, anticipating that Mitch the Bitch might die or quit, that says that the governor can only choose a replacement from a list of nominees the legislature selects. And the Republican legislature will of course nominate a list of Republicans. However, Bashear says that law violates the state constitution, which gives the governor this power and does not mention a role for the legislature. Generally, a mere law cannot deviate from or change a constitution. The constitution sits on a higher plane and can only be modified by amendment. I don't want it to be true, but I think Bashear i right here. So... Mitch McConnell is going to do exactly what I feared he would do when he insisted on running again despite his advanced age (and massive unpopularity) and give this seat to the Democrats. These old powerhungry monsters just will not think of anything except their own desperate need to control. It is control that sustains them, like blood sustains an ancient vampire. And they will not give up control until they have one foot in the grave, or more. Update: lost in space tells me that McConnell claims he'll still serve the last two years of his term:
@seungminkim WASHINGTON (AP) -- Mitch McConnell will step down as the Senate's Republican leader in November, ending a record run in the powerful post.
We'll see. Obama "planned" to not do that thing in your (male) mouth.
Brietbart is reporting "McConnell said he plans to serve out his Senate term, which ends in January 2027, 'albeit from a different seat in the chamber.'"

Makes Leda sound like a cat, whose kittens can each have a different father. I guess the answer is that Zeus's seed was divine, so anything went.
You have to wonder if young Helen and Pollux knew they were immortal and that Clytemnestra and Castor were not . . . and if the latter two also knew of the difference growing up. By adulthood they must have known. Yet Castor and Pollux were supposedly inseparable.
And did Tyndareus know the immortal two were not his?

I always thought the answer to this was obvious: the egg. Given that evolution occurs between generations -- at the biological, genetic level -- at some point there was a bird who was not quite a chicken who laid an egg that contained an embryo with enough genetic variation (evolution) to be classified as the first chicken.
Put another way, an animal can't spontaneously evolve itself. So any pre-chicken was was already born -- ie, before it was able to lay an egg -- was always gonna be a pre-chicken and not a chicken. It was the egg that contained the first chicken. So there you have it: the egg came first.

Posted by: Elric Blade
Well, the egg came first since there were egg-laying animals long before there were birds.
If you try to answer using the unspoken assumption that it's a "chicken egg" and not just any old egg, now it becomes a matter of semantics.
Is a "chicken egg" an egg which contains a chicken, or an egg laid by a chicken?
The answer of which came first changes with that definition.

At 80 proof - Benchmark and/or Ancient Age (both are Buffalo Trace products).
For right around $20 - go with Wild Turkey 101. One of the most versatile and underrated bourbons you can buy.
Jim Beam Black (86 proof) might also be available fur under $20. Another underrated bottle.

Once upon a decade (i.e., before Reagan left the White House) I'd have had suggestions. Now I don't know if any of those brands is still around, or if any is still below $20 for a bottle.

There's an insane amount of truth that the KY GOPe loves the Beshears more than any local Republican... there's a reason that our last Republican governor was a carpetbagger from out of state (and a legitimate psychopath, as it turned out, so bad that the legislature is now limiting the ability of the governor to pardon criminals after he used it to turn loose every murderer and sex offender he could find), Rand Paul is our GOOD Senator, and our homegrown Representatives get precious little to nothing from the Party.

In part, "President Joe Biden is going to receive his annual routine physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Wednesday, which will likely be the last presidential health update before the 2024 election as Biden faces persistent questions about his age.
The president is expected to be seen by his physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, who has previously issued a report on the president’s health following physicals. Biden will appear before reporters at 1:30 p.m. ET. when he delivers remarks on community safety and actions to fight crime.
The White House said it will publicly release a written summary of the president’s physical later on Wednesday. The daily press briefing is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday as well."

There are heavy indications that small dollar donations to the GOP, at pretty much every level, have fallen off a cliff.
Big dollar donors drive policy, but the millions that small dollar donors provide still present a hole need filling.
Thune endorsing Trump...after it's obvious that the extended multi-year effort to replace him with pretty much anyone else failed miserably and are limping along pathetically on the husk that was Nikki Haley's promising career, is just an effort-free and low-cost way to try and get on the base's good side.
My advice continues, though: never donate to politicians.

I have found that getting on the mailing list of local places that secure barrels of specific brands that have something unique to that specific maker/bottle is the way to go. $40-$70 and you get what is very likely a once in a lifetime bottle, and some of them are extremely good. And they're all very reasonably priced.

he leaves his lethal legacy as a knife slash to the face of Lady Liberty. He has done every possible thing he could to neuter our democracy and turn it into a theocratic oligarchy. I will dance when he simmers in Hell.
So a Trump sycophant, John Thune, now stands to run the Senate if we can’t overcome a horrible senate map. his replacement is going to make us all think of the expression “going from the frying pan into the fire...”
If Dobbs and IVF “can’t overcome a horrible senate map,” we deserve everything we’re going to get. This cycle is custom-made for us winning some historic upsets. We’ve got to start taking advantage of this fact.
WV is gone. That puts us at 50-50. There are Dem seats up in MI, MT, OH, AZ, NV, and WI. The Republican seats really aren’t likely pickups for us. We have to run the table to even keep a 50-50...and that assumes we win the WH again.
McConnell is THE WORST. NOW he quits. Right when he could stand up to MAGA and actually do some good. Pathetic.

Yea, and I'm 90% convinced that PVW is literally just some barrels the distillery had sitting around for no specific purpose, and somebody came up with this marketing plan. If you look closely at how the company describes the origin and how they make it, it seems to me like they're embellishing my "just lying around" theory.
I'm a scotch drinker so while I like bourbon, I'm not an expert at it. So maybe PVW has some special complexity or subtlety that I missed. But the guy I was drinking it with -- the guy who bought the bottle -- is a serious bourbon drinker. He had the same reaction as I did.

There's a complicated back story on Julian "Pappy" Van Winkle and William Larue Weller -- the namesakes of the current wheated bourbons made by B Trace. The products used to be made a now-defunct distillery called Stitzel-Weller, where both of those guys were distillers back in the day. The Van Winkle line is very good bourbon, for sure. But the scarcity is driven by hype and a lot of idiots who have more money than brains.

The dirty secret is that you can bump fire an AR without the stock if you spend a range session or two working on it and wasting some ammo. Has a negative impact though on accuracy on subsequent shots though.

Pressure had been mounting on McConnell to retire from the role after he froze up during two press conferences over the course of two months in 2023. His staff claimed he was suffering from bouts of lightheadedness, and a public note from his doctor suggested the same...
McConnell’s health has been part of the larger conversation lawmakers have had about the need for a new generation of leadership, amid concerns about the health and mental fitness of lawmakers in their 80s and 90s.
Yeah, that's it. That's why he's resigning. His health.

Put another way, an animal can't spontaneously evolve itself. So any pre-chicken was was already born -- ie, before it was able to lay an egg -- was always gonna be a pre-chicken and not a chicken. It was the egg that contained the first chicken. So there you have it: the egg came first.

The implicit assumption was the DeSantis would be working with GOP on Capitol Hill instead of against them and vice versa.

My thing is that we are in the middle of a generation-long and concentrated effort to change the GOP, starting with the rise of the Tea Party.
Yes, the establishment and the base have been at war for decades (especially the late 40s/early 50s when it was essentially Taft vs. Rockefeller), but this fight is public, sustained, and seems material.
That being said, it was always going to be very slow. It feels like enough has happened at the federal level to affect how the House works, for now, but the slow-moving, slow-changing Senate was always going to take longer. Will Thune be a material change over McConnell? I doubt it, but as I said in a previous thread, I could imagine him being like McCarthy after Ryan.
Still, the change is happening, morphing the GOP, slowly, into a populist and working class party at the same time that the Democrats have fully embraced being the class of the activist and wealthy.

Ok I'll bite on this one. The logic was that DeSantis actually has people. Loyal people, that have been working with him and for him in Florida, that he can use to staff these positions. The knock on Trump was that he had four years to do it and didn't. I don't think it's because he didn't want to, for what its worth. He was like the dog that caught the car.
The counter from Trump is that he now should have more people this time around, and I think Project 2025 reflects an understanding of this issue.
Anyway, a moot point, but there's your answer

My belief is a Senatron can be replaced at any time during their term, but a "special election" is only held every two years.
In other words, if Mitch "retires" after this November, the appointed replacement has a full two years to sit there, whereas if Mitch retired now, there would be a "special" election held this November, then that winner would sit until the schedule replacement election, in Nov. 2026.
So just like Mrs. Luntz, Mitch is calculating to keep the seat out of the hands of someone the voters might want.

Like Castro in the 70's (?) they'll empty their jails and point them north at gunpoint. But no collusion, no siree. Even though the govmint knew exactly how many Cubans would be coming to the USA.

Get the crime statistics from each country in Central or South America. Bet crime is down.
I'm sure Mudpants and the NGO's trafficking humans are aware of this.

Still breathing much to the chagrin of some. Other than that just busy making doctor appointments through an incredibly in efficient system.

I'll give McConnell one bit of credit: he stuck to his guns on Supreme Court nominations. I really thought he was going to cave on Garland, but to his credit, he didn't. And he didn't cave to Democrats' demands that he wait a similar period after RBG's death. Pretty much the only times he didn't play RINO games, thank God. Ace has argued that someone else could have done equally well, and he's not wrong. McConnell may have been motivated more by revenge (remember when McConnell told Harry Reid that he'd "rue the day" he nuked the filibuster for judicial noms?), but a win is a win. He may not have ever come through for us at any other time, but he did when the Supreme Court was on the line, and I will always appreciate him for that.
Other than that, though, he can fuck right the hell off, and good riddance.

I haven't studied ideological changes in parties, but I would guess that we're following a standard timeline. It sucks to be in it, but a generation seems like the right amount of time it would take to weaken and remove an established order within the party with newer powers.

How long until EVERY restaurant adds a couple of bread maker machines to their kitchen? Put it on the menu like some places do with Prime Rib with notice it may sell out. Then make four or five loaves per day.

In that context I just meant loyal to DeSantis. Trump being able to find people loyal to Trump was obviously a huge issue - which is why his extended family had to be such a big part of the equation.
