REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still:
- Has his job
- Gets paid, and
- Gets free world-class healthcare
The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave, is getting all three when he needs it most. Every person deserves the human dignity McConnell is getting on the taxpayer dime. Anything less is shameless cruel hypocrisy.
True, except for the fact that it’s not HIM getting those paychecks as he’s not alive to cash them.
Probably Elaine Chao or some coal magnate getting it.
Someone in a different thread seriously tried arguing with me that nothing about this is a crime and so the governor shouldn’t be able to do anything about it.
I kept pointing out to him the big glaring FRAUD of collecting a paycheck from the taxpayers for a deceased senator whose death is being covered up, as well as the big glaring FRAUD of hiding a sitting senator’s death for months in order to avoid a special election to replace him.
And the person I was arguing with just kept saying “Oh yeah? Point to the specific code in Kentucky state law that says what he’s doing is illegal”
And I was like, dude I’m not a lawyer and I’m not going to dig through a state that I’ve never been to’s legal code just to prove to you that FRAUD is FRAUD.
He thought he won that argument…
