    Honestly shame on Beshear for not pushing this harder. I get that there’s probably a tightrope walk being a Democrat governor in a state like Kentucky with a republican assembly, but still. If it turns out that McConnell has been dead or actually incapacitated since June, history should remember his idleness in letting the RNC wait it out as a huge fumble

      It’s effectively a push, when Republicans control the Senate. A no-show and a no-vote are functionally equivalent under current circumstances.

      I’m more upset with Senate Dems failing to clog up the appointment process for Lindsey Graham’s seat. Mike Johnson sat on a Dem house seat for 50 days straight. Least Chuck could do is drag out confirmation for Lindsay’s sister and make Collins take a few bullets by voting party line on some dogshit.
