When will MoscowMith announce his retirement?

Asking for a friend

[TreasonousBastard]

1. If the 2022 elections don't go his way.

[Wounded Bear]

2. Has Kentucky changed the rules of succession yet?

He can't retire until the repubs in KY change the rules so that Beshear can't appoint his replacement.

3. They did a few weeks ago.

[AZ8theist]

4. About 30 years too late...

[marble falls]

5. Will announce, or should have announced?

[irisblue]

6. He'll die in office, so never. He knows his place is as significant as the other

Kentucky politicians in the 1820s-1870s.
He is the Henry Clay of current time.

7. That's profound

[irisblue]

9. I was a History major.

IMO, the state of Kentucky (& her politicians)being geographically centered between free/slave states in a 'growth spurt' plays an outsized role in US history.
Even though geographically centered, the political sympathies were more towards slave centered

[SoonerPride]

8. 6 months after he is dead

and even then, only maybe

12. ROFL

10. He'll leave just before he and his wife's indictments are coming,

After a mole leaks it to him.

11. What's he fighting for? It certainly isn't justice.

Maybe he hasn't got any other reason to live. Or maybe his mob bosses told him he couldn't quit.

When my parents retired they moved to a tropical paradise and became full time artists. They'd always been artists with day jobs. Then they were joyfully free, living comfortably enough on my dad's pension and my mom's Social Security. They still are, many years later.

Moscow Mitch doesn't want something like that?

Some people live their entire lives in prisons they've built for themselves, drunk on their own toilet bowl pruno. And then they die. Rush Limbaugh did. So will Mitch.
