The fact that they're letting him return to his crypt is the surest sign I've seen all year that we're completely fucked

Excited to see what kind of insane bigoted right-wing freak Kentucky sends up next. Rand Paul will be a tough act to follow, but if Florida, Texas, and Ohio are any indication then the sky is the limit.

Currently, the sane Kentuckians are hoping for Andy Beshear, the well respected current democratic governor. The other potential (more concerning) could be Andy Barr, a Trump praising lunatic and current house of representatives member. There's likely others, but as far as I see it, it'll likely be Andy that wins.

Damn, I was hoping this insinuated he died

He is a right wing politician that tried making moral arguments against feeding kids! We both know that he will live forever in absurd luxury!

Don't let him off the hook even after he leaves. Guy shouldn't be able to leave his house or dine out without facing protests.

but what if he starts painting? Can we then pretend he isn't that bad?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well that entirely depends on the quality of said paintings, now doesn't it?

This seems to be the level of quality that the country wants to forgive/forget war crimes and lies that killed millions
