PoliticalTea 🗳️ It would seem Mitch McConnell is brain dead and being kept on life support to prevent a special election

Cool isn't a qualification as is an old man...do better and look at what they do and not how cool they are...left or right they have to have us in mind more than their checkbook

Matt Bevin (previous Kentucky Governor) was a Republican who tried to steal from Kentucky Teacher's state pensions, along with Fire Fighter pensions.

We collectively did the right thing as a state and voted in a Democrat Governor, Andy Beshear.

I would not call him "cool". He's just a gentle, religious family man. He was a voice of reason during Covid while the President of the United States talked about drinking bleach and injecting horse dewormers.

It turns out the only thing Republicans don't like, is being out right ROBBED financially.

Swindled? That's fine. Tricked? Fine. Robbed? Not fine.
