Occasional witticisms and observations... and snark. Lots and lots of snark. #GoTigersGo

@LauraLoomer @lauferlaw You’re not helping. Haven’t you got something to inflate?

[John Cosper @John_Cosper]

Gotta love the @GOP and their never ending quest to do whatever they can to stay in power and cheat the American people.

Let’s see if they can continue this charade until August 3rd.

I bet they can.

Mitch McConnell is reportedly brain dead. The journalist who broke his cardiac arrest is at the hospital waiting for them to move his body. Her name is Desirée Townsend.
She's the independent reporter who obtained the EMS scanner audio confirming paramedics performed CPR at McConnell's D.C. home on June 14. NBC and CBS spent a week catching up to her.
Yesterday she tweeted that she's physically at the hospital, that multiple sources have told her the 84-year-old senator has been declared brain dead, and that his Capitol Police detail was still there as of 3:39pm ET.
Laura Loomer posted the same claim, citing a White House source. McConnell's office will not confirm or deny. They insist he is "continuing to improve."
The brain-death claim is not yet verified. Here's what is.
McConnell has been hospitalized for three straight weeks with no public explanation.
His office has never said why he was admitted. His last vote was June 11.
His wife Elaine Chao was photographed in Beijing meeting the Chinese vice president three days after her husband collapsed. She has not come home.
His daughter deactivated her X account.
Neighbors of his D.C. townhouse say no one has come or gone since the ambulance took him away. Not family. Not staff.
Kentucky's Democratic Governor Andy Beshear says McConnell's office is not returning his calls.
Now the politics.
Kentucky Republicans quietly rewrote the state's succession law in 2024. If McConnell's seat opens, Beshear cannot appoint a replacement. A special election gets triggered instead.
And the timing matters. If he can't finish his term after August 3, the special election just rolls into November. Before August 3, the GOP has to hold a standalone race.
They’re watching the calendar.
The election they're trying to avoid is the GOP's nightmare. Thomas Massie, the Republican congressman who has become one of Trump's loudest critics, would be a heavy favorite to run and split the red vote wide open.
Every day they hide McConnell's condition is a day they don't have to hold that race.
Whatever is actually happening in that hospital room, this is the picture from outside it: a senator who has not been seen in three weeks, a wife who left the country, a family that has gone dark, a governor being frozen out, and a party racing the clock on a succession law they wrote themselves.
Townsend is still at the hospital.

@RpsAgainstTrump @johnpavlovitz Obama should get charged rent for how long he’s occupied space in Trump’s brain. 😂

@cnnbrk Hope both of its participants are ok.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

Rose garden, colonnade, oval office, East wing, reflecting pool… and now the cherry blossoms? This guy is single-handedly destroying Washington history and the Republicans just keep allowing it. Aren’t they supposed to be conservative??
Conserve something.

The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

It is now July 2026

Any other vaccinated survivors out there?

Or is it just me...

HELLOO 👋

@goldstar002 It harkens one back to the 1940s but instead of the Fatherland it’s the Fatterland.

[John Cosper @John_Cosper]

@SickoftheSwamp @KellyScaletta Typical. Be an asshole and then play the victim when someone calls you on your bullshit.

I didn’t make a claim, I stated a fact and I’ll repeat it. Anytime some MAGA asshat is crying about “our” culture or country being affected by immigrants, they mean white. Prove me wrong.

[John Cosper @John_Cosper]

@SickoftheSwamp @KellyScaletta 1. Your entire “argument” was an insult.

2. I didn’t use the word American, I said MAGA. If you identify with MAGA, you are a racist, pure and simple.

3. Thanks for playing. Don’t forget your hood on the way out.

[John Cosper @John_Cosper]

@SickoftheSwamp @KellyScaletta I was going to ask what you know about ignorance but then I saw your profile. I yield to your vast experience on the subject.

[John Cosper @John_Cosper]

@KellyScaletta A very stable genius indeed.

@johnpavlovitz Same vandals that do the upkeep on Ivana’s grave apparently.

@lauferlaw You too? This one was in our yard next to the driveway, close enough almost to touch.
