The Democrats have no appetite to indict the GOP

That's adorable.

Democrats coukd win every seat in every election and they won't do jack shit against any of these criminals.

WHERE’S GEORGE CLOONEY TO SAVE US?!

I understand the appeal of term limits, but I don't think they actually solve the problem. If politicians know they only have 2 terms then they are encouraged to play nice with industry contacts since they know they'll be out of a job soon. Additionally, I think there's something to be said about knowing your constituents and the inner workings of politics. A lot of political projects take a long time to realize and if people like the plan their politician has I don't see why we'd force them out. Consistent leadership can be very helpful for long term political goals. I don't think corrupt companies would care who they're bribing that year. They're just as happy to bribe one person for 40 years as 10 people for 4. If you get a good rep then it's nice to know that you don't have to worry about vetting a new one every time the limits come up.

Term limits just push things to the unelected "advisors" and aids.

An age limit would be a better option. I would push for 90% of life expectancy, which is 71 in the US. If you're over that age, you can't run again.

A McDonald's manager and McDonald's hiring contract would have prevented this.

Not officially

Maybe they're waiting a few days to make it less obvious

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.

Tbh any lapse in an officials ability to simply show up for their job should be an immediate termination. Realistically we should grant a 2 to 3 day window but not when a single sick day equals fully fired for majority of the population.

It's not in any way guaranteed that KY will elect another Republican. It's a state-wide seat in a state that elected a Democratic Governor.

But for the moment, yes, Mitch being so obviously dead does hurt Republicans more.

The reason that are not admitting he's dead is because they don't think they could win a special election. That's the full reason.

They probably can't win in the general election in the current climate either, but that's a problem for November that Trump is working on. He's trying to steal the election, and that's what Republicans are pinning their hopes on.
