    We need to stop pussyfooting. This is embarrassing.

    People over 65 shouldnt hold office. Full fucking stop there.

    If you’re absent for 30 days, you should need a bipartisan review of your well being.

    This is a fucking circus.

    Is it possible he scanned that guy with his phone right there? Fed it into a facial DB and got a profile then decided to break out the no job wise crack? Saw he lives at home so brought up telling his mother?

    I’m not familiar with he response speed of those apps, but I’ve heard of them being used. Trying to decide if that’s plausible.

    This is Steven J. Law

    He is the closest aide of McConnell and his money man.

    He is the CEO of the US Senate Leadership Fund.

    For decades, Mitch McConell wielded huge power in the US Senate. Not because people liked him. Or respected him. But because all Republicans feared him. McConnell was a prodigious fundraiser with CEOs and Billionaires. He controlled the US Senate Leadership Fund. This is a fund with millions of dollars. And it can be used to support the reelection of Republican Senators by buying television ads. Those who opposed McConnell were denied access to the money.

    Steven J. Law was instrumental in the Citizens United Supreme Court decision that ended limits on campaign contributions. He was McConnell’s connection with CEO and Billionaires. His gatekeeper. Anytime a CEO needed something from US Senators, he called this dude.

    On his personal page at Georgetown University, Steven J. Law bragged that he helped kill the Employee Free Choice Act

    https://politics.georgetown.edu/profiles/steven-law/

    This is a bill that was supposed to make it easier to join a labor union. Bernie Sanders supported it. He brags about killing it

    The guy in this video is the most powerful political operative in Washington DC

    What a wildly suspicious response to being asked for an update on somebody’s wellbeing. I think that just about confirms that Bitch McConnell is dead, and likely has been for quite some time.

    If Mitch McConnell is dead, we need to verify the actual date of death and if it’s before that special election deadline, they should have one anyway even if it’s already beyond that date.

    He would have loved it if we broke the rules on a technicality to get what we wanted.

      The special election thing was Republicans trying to limit the power of the incoming Democratic Governor.

      It’s likely unconstitutional, and Bashear has indicated that he’ll ignore it when the time comes. Also the Republicans are terrified of any election at this point.

      They delay now to barely “hold” the seat, hoping that Trump somehow becomes competent before November.

        They don’t care or need him to suddenly become competent. They’re hoping he brutally takes all power, competency be damned.

        This is why people need to get angry more often. Dude filming just took it. I would have been yelling so loud you wouldn’t hear shit eater grinning over there. His heart should have been racing. He should have been asking, “is this guy gonna Luigi me?”

    Bold of him to just walk the streets without a security detail. It’s dangerous out there, he needs to be more careful. :)
