(#6367) A couple of thoughts on mitch mcconnell

      Whether you forgive me or not about whether to believe republicans when they say mcconnell is doing okay or not is outside my ability to control. However, I do not trust those who will not verify with fact. So instead of just taking their word for whether mcconnell is healthy, I would go ahead and just assume he is not healthy. Facing an August 3rd deadline to have a special election to replace him I would proactively start the process or at least obtain a speedy court order justifying an immediate interview with him. If that proves obstructive then I would as I saw someone suggest in a Facebook comment go ahead and call for the special election and let mcconnell come forth and prove he is still able to represent.
     Instead of asking republicans for proof of mcconnells health, force mcconnell to prove his health or face being replaced. This way the onus is on mcconnell to prove he is healthy and not some shell game republicans wish to play with the truth. My rule of thumb is to prove every republican claim or statement as a fact before even commenting on anything they may say. After seeing enough of trump and his constant flow of lies and knowing republicans support him you can see why I take this stance. There are still 24 days left before August 3rd and that is plenty of time to immediately start a process to uncover the truth of his present condition.
     Normally this wouldn't be a huge deal with me if mcconnell was too ill to continue since he is not running for reelection and his term is up January 3rd 2027. But there are two objections in my mind that won't allow me to accept his rocky term ending smoothly. First, the republican party is most likely lying about his physical state. That in itself is enough for me to focus my attention on this circumstance. The other being the obstruction mcconnell did to President Obama on antonin scalia's supreme court seat. For me there are no free passes for mcconnell. He and his liars in the republican party get no benefits of any doubt anymore! If they won't let the Governor see mcconnell for him to verify his health then trigger the special election and let mcconnell prove the Governor wrong!
