    Serious question: what is stopping Beshear from calling for a special election right now? Like seriously.

    “The people of the great state of Kentucky have been without proper representation in the senate for over a month. Since Mitch McConnell has abandoned his post as Senator I am calling a special election for his replacement immediately.”

    Make them PROVE he is still alive.

    Not one journalist in the entire country is capable of finding the truth about what’s going on. Pathetic.

      Id argue they’re probably trying to publish but getting hit with national security forced publication holds

          Jail time is no fun and has a big price tag unfortunately. Though no one is stopping you from being that change.

            Not my country, guy.

            “Jail time is no fun.” Excellent, keep giving Americans a pass on their cowardice. Couldn’t possibly put yourself at risk or sacrifice anything for your country and the FREEDOM you’ve been shitty about for a century or so.

              You don’t seem to understand how this works. You try to publish they shut you down and put you in prison and your story still didn’t see daylight you’re just some dude in prison likely in solitary.

              You’re not wrong but being shitty doesn’t change the fact they would end up in jail and accomplish nothing, no one here seems to be giving Americans a pass we’re just aware you have to pick your fights.

                  No. If they know who you are you aren’t posting. They control the pipeline, if they had no idea what was going to happen that might apply it just doesn’t in this case.

                Right. It’s impossible to get information into the public’s hands.

                Journalism exists for no more important reason than to be a check on powerful, dangerous people. Third degree burns are also “no fun,” but firefighters exist.

                  No, it’s impractical to do so without escaping the country or going to prison.

                  Your example makes no sense, putting out fires is legal, nonpolitical, encouraged and as far as I’m aware there’s no time place manner limitations on it either.
