The Intercept is reporting on something CTH predicted after the 2020 election, Mitch McConnell is working with Kentucky legislature to plan his departure before the end of his term.
This is not a surprise. McConnell is fully exposed now; people can finally see through his schemes and understand his motives and maneuvers.
(Via The Intercept) Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has compiled a short list of successors in his home state of Kentucky, preparing for the possibility that he does not serve out his full term, Kentucky Republicans tell The Intercept.
The list is topped by his protégé, state Attorney General Daniel Cameron, and also includes former United Nations Ambassador Kelly Craft, whose billionaire coal magnate husband is a major McConnell donor, as well as Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams, a former McConnell Scholar.
Under current law, the power to appoint McConnell’s replacement falls to Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear. But new legislation McConnell is pushing in the Kentucky General Assembly would strip the governor of that power and put it into the hands of the state GOP. (read more)
As we noted following the election, the business model of selling votes is no longer as lucrative. McConnell and Harry Reid created and then held the UniParty power system as a system for affluence and influence. However, McConnell’s signature legacy item will be his role in eliminating the filibuster and turning the senate into a simple majority system.
In order to give the appearance of his opposition to this move, despite his years of working earnestly toward it, McConnell will exit very soon after the filibuster is eliminated. He will then blame the elimination of the filibuster as the excuse for his departure. This is the Machiavellian way he operates.
Will Mitch also push through HR 1?
At least he is leaving.
Nope, no need. Demo-commies will have a 50-49 majority after he leaves. Given there is a Demo-Commi KY Governor and “hostile” KY Republican Legislature, NO replacement will be named until a 2022 special election.
A 2022 special election that will be fully rigged by the powers that be.
I am no longer surprised at the people who are actively destroying our once great country with a vengeance. What shocks me is how quickly they are doing it.
There is no real push back from our phony leaders.
At this point my only hope is that we all adopt Irish Democracy- massive, passive resistance to Government dictates, rules and laws. Example- refuse to wear a mask; have parties; avoid paying sales tax whenever possible. You get the picture.
By the way: no Congress man or woman should EVER wear a muzzle mask of submission in the house or senate.
What shocks me is how few politicians on the right see the historic magnitude of what’s happening, still imagining that our constitutional republic will exist in 2022 – or that it even exists now.
Ending the Filibuster, means a 50-50 vote is enough for the Dems to get their bill passed. Kamala breaks the tie in their favor, remember.
There will be NO 50-50. They leave Mitch’s seat empty and its 50-49 in demo-commie favor.
MM’s swan song, just like McCain’s thumbs down.
Maybe pushing through the HR1 is his last order from CCP. Mission accomplished.
He’s looking forward to spending some time off perhaps overseeing the building of a summer beachfront home in China.
Old McConnell bought the farm, ee-ii-ee-ii-oo.
Uh, NONE OF THE ABOVE!
Have a Special Election.
Using Dominion machines?
I read and read these threads, and comment, but why is it when someone like linderella talks about Dominion machines isn’t there a Treeper that comes up with a solution to THAT problem?
Maybe I missed the solutions post, but this gnaws at me because it’s so true. What do we do about the damn Dominion machines? They will use them to simply steal the local elections again? Why don’t we talk about them?
Sorry, Treepers, I see bits and pieces of answers to this problem in your posts, (grassroots, get off your butt and run for school district, get involved, etc.) but I have not read THE answer to this problem. Again, sorry if I missed the solution to the one problem that FEW Treepers seem to address: Dominion.
Who succeeds him in seniority?
John Thune is the assistant leader as of now.
Just an fyi but Richard Shelby from AL is leaving also. He will finish his term but not run again.
He has been there since 1986.
He is up to his ear lobes with corruption. All being exposed. So are pelosi and schummer.
Oldest would be Chuck Grassley. I’m not sure about who has tenure.
Will he “allow” the end of the filibuster in time to shove through the monstrosity that is HR-1 or will he pretend to be a Republican for a little while longer? Guess it depends if any reporters actually start looking into the Missus…could be awkward to be the Minority Leader if your wife is under a Federal probe…I’m sure his conversations with Bondo Barr involved a lot of horse trading!!
Is he retiring to China??
By then, we might be China…..
So he bent us over and shoved it up our ASSES and got rid of Trump and now he can leave with the millions that the CCP is going to send him. What a TRAITOR.
The state legislatures should elect U.S. Senators, and state residents should actually pay attention to who they elect to the state legislatures, as it was before the Constitution was amended.
I don’t think people know that was the original process for Senators. It is a better method than opening the Senate to popular votes. The House of Representatives is the body of The People, the Senate is the representative of the State.
The Turtle is one of my Senators… I and many others have been voicing our opinions of him every time he posts on Facebook. The comments are not pretty. The people who voted for him are not pleased with his actions.
The wife is a piece of work, too.
He got his and to hell with everyone else. The last sale will be to arrange a RINO replacement.
Every day our Senate resembles more and more a House of Lords. What’s next….inheritance rights to a seat in the chamber?
Already in place. To wit: Lisa “Princess”Murkowski (R(D)-AK) got her seat by being appointed by daddy, Frank, when he left the Senate after being elected AK Governor.
Ted Kennedy was the beneficiary of that and tried to pass it on.
It only took President Trump 3 refusal to support/meet RINOs to get Ole’ Mitch to leave his job. Shows you how much power the Turtle Man has when the boss is after his scalp and took away his money. See ya loser, don’t let the door hit ya’ where the good Lord split ya”!!!
Note to Lisa in Alaska – You are hung out to dry! You are the next one to get shown the door!!!
I just wish Lisa would get a dose of Palin .
McConnell got ‘played.’ ?
I prefer splayed, on a spit.
McConnell must see bigger $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ elsewhere.
Nah. He’s going to burn everything down against his own base on his way out.
Nothing like a sore looser.
The globalist’s self-regard is boundless. Jeb! Bush had 3% of the Republican vote, as does Nikki, yet they persist.
The Turtle is saving the world. So is Liz Cheney, so is Lindsey Graham, so was John McCain. The esoteric logic of a cult is a big part of the appeal.
The globalists are on holy mission, to save the world from Marxism, from Islamic terrorism, from the rebirth of Nazism, from whatever you’ve got. They are too grand to be questioned. And if they get rich along the way, they’ve earned it.
Bye Turtle
Rigor tortoise walking
What a beautiful day that will be.
Signing in …
Will he be retiring to Kentucky or China?
Well….Bye.
Why did he even bother to come back? Joe doesn’t have enough grey matter to help him with Xi.
The Turtle wants the Kentucky GOP to appoint his sucksaysir, but I doubt the Turtle would ever give any thought to repealing the 17th amendment which has turned out to be the best federal government growth fertilizer ever.
17th amendment was the beginning of the end of this country.
I.E. the end of the republic and the beginning of a democracy and history shows no democracy can stand as soon as the “citizens” learn the can vote themselves bread and circuses.
This is a GOPe sacrifice move. Do not be fooled.
May this be the elimination of one piece of human debris from DC.
So we can’t let Mitch be succeeded by anyone he lists.
Because now the Governor appoints, Democrat, they don’t want that. The state legislature should pick, not US Senator.
How much damage has this man done over the years?
Thank you Sundance, for the peek behind the curtain.
The damage he has caused reminds me of the pusher man song in easy rider.
This was a contingency plan, depending on how the lemmings accepted the Puppet Masters using Sock Puppet Joe’s pen and cellphone to rule. So, now it’s on to Nuclear plan B with democrat KY governor appointing a temp to make it 51-49 or making NO APPOINTMENT thanks to KY legislature dragging out process to make it 50-49, until the machine decided special election in 2022.
I won’t get too excited. His term doesn’t end until Jan of 2027.
He can quit when he wants to.
My guess is he will retire before the legislation in Kentucky is passed giving the Democrats another Senator and giving We The People the middle finger doing so!
He’ll write a book, get advanced millions for it. Throw Trump and the GOP under the bus. Get a job as a lobbyist and set off into the sunset.
The people of Kentucky should NOT let him name his replacement.
What good does it do to replace one RINO with another one?
Mitch will be lucky to avoid the hangman untill the end of his term.
My prayers have been answered. God is good. 🙂
I appreciate him preparing a list of successors in advance so Kentucky voters know exactly who NOT to vote for.
I can’t imagine Mitch leaving before the legislation passes that gives the GOP legislature the power to pick his replacement. Otherwise, the Dem Gov would replace him in a very close senate.
Strange that he even bothered to run for office in 2020.
No wonder he has been so outspoken and non-sensically anti-Trump.
They really thought they could regain control of the party once Trump was removed. That’s why he ran again.
He did his job…got Biden inserted and Trump ousted. Don’t worry there are plenty of RINO’s to replace him.
Did anyone read the interview with Linn Wood from the whistleblower on how our government uses pedophilia, drugs, porn to keep these politicians and judges inline? Biden is not running our country. Congress and Senate is not voting on these “laws”. It was mind numbing!
For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? (NASB Mark 8:36)
Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from the LORD, And whose deeds are done in a dark place, And they say, “Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?” (NASB Isaiah 29:15)
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. (NASB Galatians 6:7)
If the democrats get their new voting bill passed, it won’t matter anymore. Elections can be swung anyway the swamp wants.
For those wondering, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron did not sign onto the Texas Election Lawsuit back in December 2020.
good to know.
The Kentucky AG does not contest vote fraud…
So the Turdle will go home, put on his plaid shorts, pull on the black calf length socks and buckle up his brown sandals. He will then go to the rocker on his porch, sip a Kentucky bourbon, and try to figure out in what shithole countries he has his money stashed.
A Kemp-like approach:
appoint the wife of a billionaire coal magnate who is major McConnell donor.
For the man who has everything – buy a senate seat for his wife !!!
It is our anniversary, dear – I got you a senate seat.
Notice the KY Legislature let the cat out of the bag, when they announced legislation, to limit the KY Governors ability to appoint a successor earlier this week.
So, the KY Governor and Legislature will be at a stalemate with NO appointment made. The demo-commies will have a 50-49 majority to keep Kamala clear of the Senate. I suspect Sock Puppet Joe’s exit is eminent.
After the last public fiasco, when the media feed was cut…Sock Puppet Joe’s medications are no longer bale to keep him lucid to carry on the charade.
Not sure why but this Mitch move has me suspicious.
When Emron collapsed, the smart guy Skilling tried to bail early (without success). The dumb guy Lay stayed and took the blame.
McConnell is smart, but not as smart as he thinks. The GOPe is as ruined as Emron. The stupidest ones (Liz Cheney is the best bet) will hang on til the bitter end.
Wonder if his CCP honeypot wife will stay with him once he has leaves Senate??
He is doing as much harm to us all as he can, before leaving……..TRUMP should weigh in here, at least in the background, and I am sure he will.
Cameron is part of the same swamp. Kentucky never wanted to look at voting fraud, and didn’t join with the other states filing suit.
He doesn’t have to leave until 2024. Do you think he’ll leave before the 2022 election?
That’s the plan.
Why doesn’t he just leave now? POS!!!!!!
Maybe his doctor gave him news similar to what Songbird McCain got before the end???
One can only hope.
