This is Kentucky, so which Mitch?

The Turtle (aka Moscow Mitch) has given so little and taken so much from the people he is supposed to represent

I am exceedingly glad we do not have a Liberal Governor in Tennessee.

It's all political posturing. He tossed the barb at Mitch's Golden parachute in there as more cover for unearthing the corruption going on at the school.


This should be the lead line, not a specific person in politics where personal bias may cause responses based on the (R) or (D) colored glasses of the person speaking.

f*ck UK for all the good ole boy nonsense we've got going currently.


Not to say you are wrong but it is not just going on currently. Been going on before I was born, been going on since. Otis may have been the last who at least tried to represent the taxpayers, in state students, and rank and file UK employees. After that, it is more and more like modern corporate America where a few at the top use OPM to enrich themselves at the expense of the citizens, fans, and students of the University.

Just to be fair, this is not a UK problem alone and have seen it get worse at schools across the USA for decades.

Andy Beshear let the BLM riots destroy downtown Louisville during COVID lockdown while simultaneously sending police units to churches that refused to close and took down license plate numbers.
Yet, the "red state of Kentucky" still put him in office for 8 years! At least, LA saw the error of their ways. Y'all doubled down on that shite. He bent over every free thinking person in the State of Kentucky during COVID, and still got elected to a second term. Whole bunch of retards up in Kentucky is all I can take from that shite.

Pretty much.

Louisville and Lexington liberals with the soccer moms who fell in love with Andy’s fire side chats during Covid. Not to mention holdovers of the over the top public education defenders, even though most of these public school districts have now been proven to be more corrupt and incompetent than what’s going on at UK.

You're ruining the narrative. Once again tribalism skews the view.

You fascists are easy to spot: if you don’t agree with me there must be something wrong with you.


The right people and groups were already putting pressure on Eli/BoT to get rid of Mitch. Then the JMI deal was renewed last year, in comes the Barnhardt golden parachute and the usual suspects were still turning their heads.
 
Since everyone on campus continued to ignore the stink in the athletic department, the next stop was the governor’s office. In Kentucky the governors options are limited but good on him for calling out the mess in Lexington.

It needs to get sorted with the quickness and in the process hire a hammer for AD.

At least we know the job position for Dean of the School of Law. Mitch Barnharts job is undefined. This is the same Mitch Barnhart that pulled the plug on CM Newtons deferred compensation gig. CM took a huge pay cut to come to UK when all hell broke loose. He was head basketball coach at Vandy and came out of loyalty to his Alma mater. UK was on probation and he brought credibility back to the program. Mitch the bitch and hypocrite.

One thing we know for sure, TDCat has no idea what the term fascist means lol. Way to give yourself away as a far left idealogue while trying to come across as impartial and nonpartisan. The misuse of buzz words is the dead giveaway.

Come on Kentucky, get y'alls shite together and kick these bums out. How is Turtle still in the senate? He is worse off than Biden. The guy can't tie his own shoes.

So fascists are tolerant of opposing ideology. Got it.

All that from one statement. You're part of the problem.

He could've gunned down the protestors and started up an even worse situation not only in Kentucky but across the US and the world. Doing so would have given the idiots dreaming of killing their neighbors because of their political differences, those dreaming of a civil war, a few moments of happiness but it'd been short lived because their lives would still be fricked up as a soup sandwich....

How feeble and inferior does your mind have to be to call any opposing ideology as fascists? What a useful idiot you are.
