There isn't an upside. They're just as stuck as the Democrats are. Mitch isn't dead, he's likely severely incapacitated. They'd love to have him on the Senate floor voting R but he isn't healthy enough to do so, and the only way to remove a Senator is expulsion by a two-thirds vote in the Senate. That certainly wouldn't get enough votes and, at this point, is pretty irrelevant anyway since the seat would simply remain vacant.
But you are correct that as long as he's ill he isn't voting, which is a good thing, which is why there was really no need for people to be all over Andy Beshear's nuts this past month.
If they dragged Strom Thurmond’s barely animated husk in to vote, they can wheel Mitch in to pretend like he knows what he’s doing.
"And yet, they haven't done so." Captain Obvious.
In order to get the war powers resolution to fail, Fetterman had to vote with them. If Mitch were declared dead, a special election would have had to have been held and anyone could have run in it. ~~Tommy Tuberville~~ Thomas Massie would have run, split the Republican vote and a Democrat could/would have taken the seat and that resolution would not have failed. Let's not pretend the Republicans aren't engaging in fraud on purpose. They are. They know precisely what they are doing and they need to be held accountable. But they're on a very long list in that regard.
I think that anybody but a Republican winning that special election was always a pipe dream.
Nah, too busy watching you do that, lol. Because people from here know the difference between Massie and Tuberville.
You're just another very new account warming up for the midterms.
Ah, and of course you never make mistakes. Like assuming that someone who has a five day old account didn't just move to it from their other, 3-year-old account.
What a bizarre take. It's not for me to assume anything at all about a commenter, especially in a community where people operating in bad faith change up accounts more often than I change socks. They write what they write.
If you want someone to believe you post from a three-year-old account, there's a way to do that besides posting from a five-day old account.
And you have yet to prove that I wrote in error, because -- wait for it -- I didn't.
I verify what I write before I post (usually with supporting links, as above), and when I personally err -- which I cannot ever recall having done in such an egregious fashion as above -- I don't lash out in rage at the person who pointed out my error.
There are people in the world who casually communicate untruths on the regular and then complain that everyone else is stupid. And now apparently you think others should be mindreaders too, lol. Carry on, don't let me stop you.
Wow look at all the words you've written because I mistakenly wrote "Tommy Tuberville" instead of "Thomas Massie." I'm sure glad you're here to keep everything straight, professor. I'll have to be more careful in the future lest I run into more savants like yourself. Noted!
You didn't write that, lol. They did. Nor did they correct their statement that "anyone can run" in a Kentucky election. You're still just spouting aggrieved bullshit, demanding that I believe you're someone you're not.
Truly you have a dizzying intellect. I don't know why I tried to pull one over on you. It's ridiculous to imagine that users with the names "AgentSeven" and "Supervisor194" would be in any way related.
Eleven hours and multiple comments later, lol. Different time zones?
Perhaps we both made these comments nearly simultaneously because we're just trying to fuck with you!
It helps that you believe that.
Or... hang with me here - I only just used one at a time.
Or it's a shift thing and now you're both on the clock.
