There’s still time

-looks at date- Still got 48 days....
TyrannosaurusMex
As a Milwaukee native Ted Perry is a solid anchor. He puts out content that actually spotlights issues in the community. Doesn’t play games

Alex Trebek wouldn't make a pact with dark forces.

We're all thinking it, many are saying it, but it's just not something you say when you're representing a company.

So many people taken before Mitch, totally not fair.

Hate Mitch McConnell

beggingyourmajestyspardon
this man wasjust asking the really important question why an epileptic corpse is still walking around
BrazilianThunderPanda
Whats wrong with this? Hes a journalist. Hes supposed to ask questions. Its a fair question. Let’s talk to death and karma & get their side.

He's got a serious fuckin point. Old Rigor Mortis hands can't have long.
Whatswrongwiththispicture
Kentucky deserves the screwing Turtle Man will give them. The real problem is he’ll continue to screw all of us as senate majority leader
Allthegoodnamesweretakenbeckygod
Those that voted for him see only red. Not the white or blue. Kentucky is bottem 10% or anything that matters. Stay in school kids....
allmypostshadnopantson
I'll take McConnell for 2020$
JiffyGee
What? It’s a valid question.
PictureArchiver
I have wondered how much life for ordinary Americans would improve if McConnell was not here anymore. He’s a net drain on society.
Lassannn
I'll take "Cunts Who Are Going to Fucking Hell for $5 Goddamned Hundred."
Mazena
Yet Bannon can demand Fauci's head on a pike and Republicans don't see anything wrong with it. Impossible to win with these narcissists.

TKBold
Not to encourage anything, but, there's still a month and a half left. Fortune may favor.
cuttysark
It is unwise to say what you really think sometimes.
DukeDarkwood
News personalities especially. It shows unprofessionalism. (And, less noble, networks fear anything that'll hurt their image.)
cuttysark
and that is what the context was. Unless they are an editorial commenter.
postmahone
I’ve never been so proud to be from Milwaukee
zubax
He is just wondering why the universe works in a fucked up way. Like,why hasn't it killed Mitch. That's a fair question in my opinion.
ShadeEmberi
why hasnt anyone screwed by him taken a shot>
catsandcoke
Only the good die young
PhobianDarkmoon
I mean only if you have an expectation of the universe being fair and just inherently, which I certainly don't.
itstoodamnearly5am
Mitch is either proof that there is no god or that there is one and it hates us.
roadsterdoc
...or the devil is unstoppable.
altonbrowndeserveshisownmemefuckyouifyoudisagree
We got time. 2020 ain’t over yet
Voojagig
We're all thinking it.
PinnerWinnerChickenDinner
More like wishing it.??
DukeDarkwood
Yeah, but it's VERY impolite to wish someone dead, especially in a public forum. Even if the recipient of the sentiment is the scum of the
DukeDarkwood
earth. Newspeople have been fired for saying less. They have to maintain professionalism. (That's the "good" reason; there's also the fact
DukeDarkwood
that networks are paranoid about their image, so can't afford to go easy on people.)
Sproggo
That they are wearing the same tie?
boevis
Kentucky Democrats are basically the example of everything wrong with the party. They poured money into making sure a moderate white person>
TheGrassyKnoll17
*some Kentucky Democrats
confanity
Yeah, it's not like Kentucky is full of white non-college-educated racists who reflexively vote GOP and are outraged by Black people, right?
CalebCakePilot
That's the national DNC that poured money into her campaign, that's on ALL Democrats, you think KY has money?
Svartsinn
Maybe... maybe the problem is that each state votes for 2 senate seats and that's mad fucked up. Our country, our government- it's retarded.
MrMineHeads
People shouldn't vote for their senators anyway. That wasn't their purpose. State legislatures should choose them.
dereklarsen
The point of the Senate was that each State is equally represented. The issue here is that w/ gerrymandering, does each Senator represent>
Svartsinn
Yes and due to gerrymandering w/ the electoral college, my vote in California is worth less than ½ a vote from Wyoming. Not a fair democracy
dereklarsen
The State that elected them?
boevis
beat a wildly popular black man for the ticket to run against McConnell, and unsurprisingly she lost because they made too much of it a >
dbsamurai
tbf the DNC pouring money into beating a wildly popular progressive so they can run a moderate white loser is their standard op procedure
boevis
campaign *against* the other democrat.
ProfessorPritt
CatatonicCowMoo
Booker also waited til the last minute to jump in to the game though. So.
HaplessCat
Im sorry. I know all of Kentucky isn't like the Bitch but ...man... Why? I know the potential to go blue with the younger vote is there ...
QuickLighting53
Well... Also lost because it's fucking Kentucky and science and education is the devil there!
BypassXI
And don't forget that Vicky Valencourt
AtomIndigo
Mamma says she's the devil!
molotovb
Oh stop. The people of Kentucky willingly elected a demonstrably disgusting toad of a human being, regardless of party.
aesthesia1
That's what they did in the 2016 race too! AND 2020! If not for covid, it wouldnt have worked. Fuck the democrats.
TrumpSuxIvankastoeslikechillidogs
Idk, I thought McGrath was the better sell and the stronger candidate, but I'm from the same city she is, so it may be my bias. She wanted
RJF2009
The biggest issue is, that money could’ve gone to WAY more plausibly victorious candidates and voter turnout organizations.
illegalacorn
McGrath was pro-trump lmao
TrumpSuxIvankastoeslikechillidogs
That was false, lmao, and McConnell made sure to capitalize on that being false because our retards love the orange king-tard
TrumpSuxIvankastoeslikechillidogs
Term limits, to build a new bridge for I-71/75, was moderate enough on abortion and finance, and was a vet. It's just that McConnell aired
TrumpSuxIvankastoeslikechillidogs
One ad falsely claiming that she supported late term abortions (she doesn't, and won a cease and desist on the ad, but the rumor was already
sweetbisa
They may have to build another bridge now no matter if they wanted to or not...
Heyitsdubblea
Her problem is that she is basically "republican lite". When people only have the option to vote Rep, then they go with the republican.
Heyitsdubblea
Charles booker while still a long shot in KY would have at least offer an alternative and aggressive opinion against his opposition.
toolarchy5
She's not terrible, but was not the best choice in my eyes. I wouldn't have any trouble voting for her anytime though, and I did.
toolarchy5
But ky Republicans vote party line. They fill in one bubble and put the ballot in the machine then go home to fuck their toothless sister.
TheActualDonKnotts
The DNC is the biggest impedance of the DNC. Republicans are a bunch of fuckups that generally run solely on being a republican. If the 1/2
TheActualDonKnotts
DNC could finally get their act together, they would be taking a lot more ground just by virtue of having goals and progress to work toward.
GrumpyOldMillennial
The DNC is completely unaware that their core base of supporters isn't democrats. Most of us are left leaning people that have no party
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
No... but really why?
RulesOfImgur
Mcconnell sold his eternal soul to the devil so hw could have eternal life on the condition he does the devil's work for him.
TheOwlAcher2020
Or from the old saying "only the good die young"
noyoutellmeYOURpasword
Let's just admit it -- it was unprofessional. We can accept the reality that McConnell's time is going to expire, and very soon.
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
He still entitled to free speech. And to not be punished for expressing his opinion. Isnt that what the gop expects?
shmekie
Because there is no god and the universe has no meaning or justice.
semperknight
Because fuck our happiness, that's why.

Would it even be bias to point out someone who is so obviously evil as being, you know, ???? ? That guy will destroy the Biden presidency
Jonesssssss
Yeah, at what point do we grow some balls and say what needs to be said.
Davidlorian
But booooooss, Fox lets their anchors do it! Mildly /s
dorenavant
Because one had cancer and the other IS cancer.
Chakra5
McConnell is worse than cancer. Just consider how many people are going to die from his shit actions.
david987987
I bet cancer will have a higher kill count then McConnell
Chakra5
considering he enabled trump more than anyone, and trump enabled covid more than anyone, i cant agree
david987987
https://seer.cancer.gov/statfacts/html/common.html according to this source about 600k people die per year in the us from cancer still worse
flounder35
because even the devil hates McConnell
Imademyselfsquirtle
No, no, because he is the anti Christ.
RulesOfImgur
Professionals have standards
Hezaethox
Devil went down to Georgia looking for a soul to steal, because he knew it'd be hard to find someone with one in souless Mitch land.
CaptSchmidtGaming
Do you FUCKING job Satan. we don't care if its uncomforatble
SaschaDB
Serious question: Am German, can you tell me why everyone on the internet hates this guy?
Hezaethox
Tl:dr - he helped pass the idea of a "majority leader" and it's allowed him to have as much power as president + "I am the Senate".
Hezaethox
Oh, and he cheats to stay in power through a combination of gerrymandering and possibly straight up cheating based on his vote record.
flounder35
He's supposed to govern as the majority leader of the Senate. But has spent the last 6 years blocking any real governance.
flounder35
He constantly increases the wealth gap in the US. He removes people from the safety nets set in place through our laws.
flounder35
He spits on the constitution. He rams through unimportant legislation all the time, i.e. judges. He refuses to do anything about COVID.

Which network?

The one mentioned in the linked article.

My home town milwaukee, proud of you Ted Perry!

Ted Perry was a Bucky during his time at UW.

Yeah WI! Thanks Milwaukee for helping swing blue btw. I live in The sea of red right above Mil

Same, Im in Ozaukee county but lived in Milwaukee for years
bmouse127001
Hahaha, me too! I'm in Sheboygan, what about you?

Washington county, trump Country! Lol
TheFatherMind
Am I the only one who finds it ironic that this was reported on the NY Post which is owned by Murdoch. And the guy worked for Fox.
Usernamecheckedout1
Fox owned local network WITI
Neomechavoltron
What a witi guy...
vitaminalgas
Oh...well yeah, he's fired
rudejohn
You know Fox local networks have nothing to do with Fox News, right?
badgateway502
I watch their news regularly and they are the complete opposite of Fox News Channel
maxwilder
Yeah I was gonna say, the regional stations aren’t all conservasimps.
SpartaGuss
Fact-based and non-partisan?
necrojoe
...generally, yeah.
colsanders2002
Local stations generally are, unless it's a station owned by Sinclair Broadcasting Group. Then it's practically the same as Fox News.
FiftyShadesOfArugula
He didn't even say it on air. Posted it on Facebook on his own time. But i bet the right is cool with that. If it had been a racial slur…
FiftyShadesOfArugula
they'd be rushing to his defense and complain about censorship, PCness, cancel culture, and the war on Christmas for good measure.
AStegosaurus
I have a serious question: Do you think the Arkansas police chief who resigned after calling for the execution of Democrats shouldn't have
FiftyShadesOfArugula
He absolutely should have. That's nowhere near the same thing as asking "why did it have to be this man and not that complete piece of shit"
AStegosaurus
He's publicly wishing for the death of another public figure as a public figure. It absolutely has the potential to incite violence.
FiftyShadesOfArugula
Oh bullshit. You fuckos are looking for the flimsiest excuse to screech "bOtH siDeS".
FiftyShadesOfArugula
I mean, you do get that calling for violence against a person is not the same as pondering why fate had to take someone else, right?
AStegosaurus
First of all, learn to reply to yourself to make a chain. Second, you do get how it could incite violence against McConnell, right?
TheJellyfishh
Do you have any concept of how conversations work?
FiftyShadesOfArugula
Not in this tone, buddy. Welcome to my mute list.
