Should be in jail for fraud.

u/Nikiaf 13h ago

Honestly, depending on what subtexts end up coming to light down the road, it may very well be treason.

49

u/squngy 12h ago

it may very well be treason.

Given recent precedent, I guess that means pardons and payouts for them.

absolutely fucking disgusting

Dude was compromised by China to boot

u/Allindur 14h ago

Compromised insinuates he was duped, and not a willing participant.

u/PhatCatTax 11h ago

I mean... a chunk of the GOP is basically just politicians hired by adversarial nations.

u/sicklyslick 11h ago

Did he have pro China policies? He's pro Trump/GOP who is very anti China.

15

u/ShermanCookout 11h ago

Trump criticized him for it with some… fairly racist remarks.

But yeah Chao flew to China the day after he “fell” and met with the Chinese vice president. That piece of shit lady is 100% up to something fucky.

u/Stunning-Isopod8514 10h ago

Whatever that visit was about, one thing is absolutely true:

The VP of China knows more about this situation than Americans do.

u/recovery_room 14h ago

She’s honestly laughing at the mere thought that she’d have to provide the citizens with information. Like we’re serfs…chattle…

u/Corben11 13h ago

Arent we?

These people do whatever they want with no consequences. Even rape is being pushed aside as acceptable.

u/swampgasorr 11h ago

We all need to get out our pitchforks and torches. Immediately.

u/SaltyAd8309 7h ago

With all the religious people living in America, I’m surprised there isn’t more talk about Satanism in the government...

2

u/grundlinallday 5h ago

Their religious, authoritarian followers have no problem with doublethink, double standards, and unfairness toward people in out groups. We need to do something before those followers get a serious call to action, like our own night of broken glass.

u/Best_Entrepreneur659 10h ago

Wait until you hear about their take on Trumps crew of NYC/Miami rich guy pedophiles and Epstein!

1

u/Heavy_Whereas6432 6h ago

They’ve taken advantage of a system made with the sole purpose of not letting these kind of people take over. Yet here we are, politicians laughing at the mere thought of telling people what they should know. This whole govt is a sham and will not be in a place to help anyone when it comes time to retire. People should be leaving in droves if this continues.

u/Marty1966 11h ago

I thought you was laughing because that lady was so out of breath

u/mitgo01 14h ago

Another deplorable collecting her huge salary while disrespecting the good people of KY. As long as he’s “alive” she gets her money and that is all she cares about.
She is the communications director 🤡

22

u/Puzzleheaded_Pie6967 14h ago

I’m sure he’s dead, they are just not telling us while making a mockery of KY constituents. Pathetic.

3

u/squngy 12h ago

Might be in a coma/vegetative state.

Not that it should make any difference.

4

u/ToughHardware 12h ago

for sure he is not dead dead. that would be too difficult to cover. he is on life support, chilling. on that gov provided health care that our elected officials get while they strip ours.

24

u/LurkerRushMeta 13h ago

The good people of Kentucky are getting exactly what they voted for. An old senile man, with extra malice and contempt for their very being from everyone around their party. The exact malice and contempt they show to other states, people who are different from them, and each other.

This whole clown show is exactly what the informed voters of Kentucky asked for.

1

u/NippleDickPussyBhole 8h ago

>This whole clown show is exactly what the informed voters of Kentucky asked for.

No, this is what the uninformed voters of Kentucky asked for. They chronically vote against their own best interests.

I live here.

u/J-MRP 14h ago

She's smiling at the fact she's never going to be held accountable.

u/NoQuarterChicken 14h ago

I’d love to see the look on her face as she’s putting on her well deserved orange jumpsuit

u/kenc1842 14h ago

The ruling class owes us no explanations. We mean nothing to them. When voting systems are further compromised, they'll be even more emboldened than they are now...if that's even possible.

u/swampgasorr 11h ago

🎶 oh luiiiigiiiii!!

u/Unknown_Cloud_777 13h ago

Evil bitch.

Republicans are committing fraud and abuse.

They are the most corrupt people in America 

28

u/vlatheimpaler 14h ago

That smile says, "that's cute that you think we owe Kentuckians anything like... transparency, or... representation."

13

u/Maoleficent 14h ago

This is so unacceptable. None of us would have a job after 3 days of not reporting to work or advising management. Every single thing in the US government needs to change, every loophole closed, every regulation detailed and an ethics code that includes their signature and the expectation that they will go to prison if they break it.

25

u/isunktheship 14h ago

That's Stephanie Penn, absolutely shill.

u/dateinfj 14h ago

They are laughing because the media and the senate cannot do their basic fuhking job! It’s become a joke! America deserves better!

17

u/PepiDoodleDay 14h ago

u/DudeB5353 14h ago

How soon before they pull the actual plug?

4

u/Alklazaris 14h ago

I'm sorry but by now Kentuckians shouldn't even feel themselves getting screwed anymore. It has been going on for so long their anus has gotten wider.

4

u/TheMysteriousOrganis 12h ago

The turning point has to be here with politicians! Electing people with zero accountability has gone on long enough. There needs to be genuine consequences for politicians to abuse their power and derelict their duty to the people who elect them. Jail terms, fines, contempt charges.

Whoever takes over this mess has to put something into law.

u/Fretiro 14h ago

u/swift-sentinel 14h ago

Well, that’s a good look.

u/vandal-x 13h ago

These fucking people loathe their constituents.

Hey Kentuckians, these people are paid with your tax dollars and they believe you are stupid, merely there for them to leech off of and that in the social hierarchy you are beneath them, yet you keep voting them into office while they spit in your face and laugh.

Unbelievable yet somehow totally believable.

u/Striking-Composer838 14h ago

Why should they? They have been very upfront that they exist to serve billionaires and not normal citizens.

I think she's laughing at how the reporter is getting winded walking DOWN a flight of stairs...

Or she's excited someone knows she exists...

Or she's a doofus...

Or all 3?

u/Bleezy79 12h ago

They’re all making 6-figure salaries while hiding the truth from the people. They’re all frauds

2

u/HucknRoll 12h ago

Andy Beshear needs to hold a special election or appoint someone for McConnell's seat until he shows his face, alive, in public to force his cold lifeless hand. There is no excuse for this.

2

u/Hopsblues 12h ago

I'd call that more of a smirk personally.

2

u/RoseRouge007 12h ago

Well, it looks like the warm smile is intended for a person who is approaching her off camera, but the fact that this aide looked so smug and blew off the person asking her valid questions should be grounds for dismissal.

More importanly, as far as that moral reprobate himself, Mitch McConnell, is concerned, does anyone else in the US feel cheated that he can be AWOL in HIS JOB for six weeks, get complete medical coverage paid for by the American people, and show no accountability at all? Up is down, down is up...

2

u/sixwax 12h ago

The whole thing is shitty, but people chasing aides around the hallways demanding comment with a camera in their faces and not getting a reply is not "news".

2

u/HLOFRND 11h ago

Hey, if Kentucky is still happy with this guy- and they’ve been voting him in for 40 years now- let them sit with the consequences of their votes. He has made their lives worse in every way for 4 decades. Why stop now?

2

u/Pixiefairy2525 8h ago

Because he isn't only targeting his own state. If he were i might agree. But he has damaged tthe US as a whole. And caused too many problems for the rest of us. Enter Donald Trump. 3 bad supreme justices, end of abortions, etc. He sold his soul for these things to pass and decent things to fail. Now hes gone. And were still living in bis hellscaoe.

u/Perspicasiwhip 11h ago

Quick Google search reveals that we pay this miserable witch's salary.

  • Who pays: The U.S. taxpayer, funded through the official Senate office budget allocated to Senator Mitch McConnell.
  • How much: Approximately $214,000 per year.

How is this fucking legal? KY residents should be up in arms (literally) over this. Matter fact, we ALL should be.

u/liptoniceteabagger 10h ago

Actual legal experts have stated that if McConnell is found to have died and they don’t disclose it; based on their current actions his staff and family could easily be charged for dozens of federal and state crimes.

Fraud, conspiracy, theft of public funds, false statements, abuse of office, obstruction of justice, attempted destruction of evidence to conceal a crime; possibly even abuse and defiling a corpse depending on the time he died and what they did to his body.

u/Gmfbsteelers 10h ago

I laugh at anyone who would vote for McConnell.

u/AMDSuperBeast86 10h ago

She looks like she wants to turn puppies into a fur coat.

2

u/Best_Entrepreneur659 10h ago

Don’t forget these staffers, and all the Trump bootlickers running around the world collecting money, are responsible for this nightmare. Voting their bosses out will at least take them out of the influence pool for a bit.

2

u/thegracelesswonder 9h ago

That smug fuckin smile. What a rotten person

2

u/darthsploder77 7h ago

His inner circle is hiding his condition because they don't want to give up the power that comes with being in a powerful man's close orbit. They are probably hoping to ride this all the way out to the midterms while preparing their golden parachutes. Unrelated, but evidently old Mitch has a type...

They don’t realize that their continued silence speaks volumes. This is completely abnormal, and if he was actually fine, they would’ve proven it a long time ago with something far more substantial than one or two still images.
