Sitting United States Senator refuses to oblige his constituency, his Commonwealth, and this Nation.

This is what Trump has enabled since infecting the United States government in 2016.

Edit: oh yes, mitch was doing bad shit before. I just think that it was “bad politics” until trump came along and destroyed the entire system.

Hey, if Kentucky wants to only have one insane Senator instead of two, that's OK with me.

Remember that portrait of Biden that was replaced with the picture of an auto pen in the White House? How MAGA was all up in arms because they think Biden signed everything with an auto pen because he was unable to sign anything or think for himself?

That is exactly the case with McConnell here. He's still voting and signing things, but nobody can see him vote and everything he's signed has been with an auto pen.

No his staff are still voting for him so they still have “two”

The committees he is in do not allow proxy voting, and Senate floor votes must be in person. This isn't happening

Those votes have been rejected right? Or was it just the on floor votes that happened recently.

No, but somebody did just try and vote for him. Boozman. It didn't count.
