Has this ever happened in the history of our country? A senator being replaced by their sibling after they die?
>>538980302Yids just make it up as they go along.
>>538980302How is that legal?
“The great journey waits for no one brother, not even you.”
>>538980302A few were replaced by their spouses iirc
It's just him in drag, retards. Part and parcel of his humiliation ritual.
>>538980302Happened literally dozens of timeshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widow's_succession
>>538980302It makes no ethical sense just for the fact that this could lead to an estranged relative or spouse killing a sitting politician in order to usurp their position.
>>538980302Some of the first women in political office were there because they replaced their dead spouseIs it embarrassing that everyone has to constantly teach you your own history because all US schools teach is how to lick windows for the flavour?
>>538980537That's incredible. I did not think we were that kind of nation.
>>538980590those are widows not sisters
>>538980590Why not just hold a new election for that seat - I don't get it.
>>538980302This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to corruption lol, all threatre
>>538980667Still seems insane that an unelected person can just be put into a position like that.
>>538980807You already do it with the Supreme Court, federal reserve, SecDef, AG etc
>>538980738>>538980807His seat is up for election in November retards, she just occupies the seat for 5 months. You can google basic shit like this, you niggers are "but I did have breakfast" tier intellects.
>>538981462That's different. For some reason...
>>538980393His term was almost over and there's an election in four months, so there's no point in having a special election in a month. When there's so little time left in a term, the governor gets to pick the replacement. I don't know who the Republicans are going to run in Lindsey's place, but it probably won't be her. She's there as a placeholder until the next Congress starts in January. She'll vote as she's told, make some money is secret, and then fade back into obscurity.
>>538980537Prove it jew liar
>>538981603booho my retarded congress is actually just fine! everyone else are retarded for asking questions!!spotted the bot
>>538981603So you can show me another instance in US history when sometimes sibling was placed into office after their sibling dies? The other poster showed instances of spouses, so surely you must have insurance of siblings, right?
>>538980590Wiki is fake information, you retard
>>538980653Prove it, liar
>>538980575The Democrats aren't ready for this COCKraiser. MAGA
>I-its just for 5 months!>Sh-she's just a placeholder!>We're still a democracy!You may call us frogs, but the last few years Americans really showed us the meaning of "boiling a frog".You guys didnt do shit for girls being raped by your heads of state and by litteral masked govt agents shooting your citizens in broad daylight.You wont do shit when they restore hereditary nobility in your government.
>>538981603Insane damage can happen in a day… 5 months is horrific possibilities
>>538980537Lindsey didn't have a spouse though.Perhaps one of his LADYBUGS would be a good successor?
>>538981737They are both retarded female family members meant to sit symbolically for a couple months until the election Now I admit that one of the reasons it was done in the past was to give the widow some income during their trying times, which doesn’t apply here, but it’s not completely out of left field
>>538980302And yet somehow we are not an oligarchy. The American public had absolutely no say in this decision. This is a fucking senator who decides the fate of millions. Fuck this country.
>>538981908Why would you believe what a tranny says ?You know they are mentally ill right?
>>538980666Checked SatanI think it depends on the state whether the governor can appoint someone to finish a term.
>>538981737I dont think it matters who is appointed or that its delineated anywhere.
>>538981958>You know they are mentally ill right?So are homosexuals.
>>538981821Margaret Chase Smith replaced her dead husband, Katherine Langley replaced her husband when he got arrested for selling alcoholNow tell me how double glazed windows taste
>>538981874Can you translate this from Algerian to English pro favor
>>538982043You made those names up
>>538982087Yeah you’re right, I should have chosen Mexican names to make it more believable to modern Americanos
>>538980440The governor approved it, so it's legal in muttistan.
>>538982083Here it is in your native abo language>Americans unga bunga slowly losing rights bunga unga will lose it all before unga too late.Unless you're a jeet, then its >Saaar! Do not redeem rights! You benchol goyim bastards need to serve dalit israel by slowly losing your izzat.
Alright lads, name em'Other jobs less impactful than politician where this practice would be absolutely fucking moronic.>dentist >university lecturer>plumber>veterinarianjust to name a few for starters.
>>538980600lol I remember thinking this when I was a 13 year old conspiracy theorist and Sonny Bono's wife replaced him in Congress
>>538980653Your teachers teach you our history to distract you from the fact that you once had guns and gave them up, and now you're among the most cucked formerly white nations on Earth.
>>538981673>it's okay kikes get to kikeNah it's retarded.
>>538982541It’s cool how you talk about rights while Algerians behead you in the streetsYou gonna release some in the spirit of bastille day?
>>538982986You are cucked with guns though, that’s even more embarrassing
>>538982744>literally anythingUnqualified means unqualified
>>538983122We're still pretty comfy with our first world creature comforts, we have way too much to lose to rise up just yet. RIP straya.
>>538980807Nigga, if you had paid attention in school you would have learned that the entire Senate was unelected until 1919 when the 17th Amendment took effect.
>>538983175I bet she takes dick just as well as Lindsay did, that’s a qualification
>>538980302>their>they
>>538983226Are you suggesting we aren’t first world, or are just bad at English?I really hope you don’t stub your toe and go into bankruptcy
>>538982214South Carolina was probably the 1st state that punished local business who said mean things about isreal. I think they passed those laws 20 years ago.
>>538983284You shouldn't assume pronouns. It's 2026.
>>538980807NY kicked out cuomo and installed that hochul cunt without even a blink of the eye
>>538983235They don't teach anything remotely related to civics anymore. Strictly nazis bad, blacks oppressed, poor injuns, bad colonial whites, poor jews, remember the holohoax, Russia bad, women better than you, gay and trannys are better than you, congratulations, here's your diploma.
>>538980302yes it has happen before since has with their wife's
>>538983314>>538983226Wait you have to pledge allegiance to a foreign country to run a small business? That sounds pretty third world to me, why don’t you tell them about your collectors edition gun-ko pops that you won’t take out of the packet?
>>538980302I hope his sister tours a drone facility in Ukraine!
>>538980807each governor of every state can select the person to replace them if they die or resign from office that person the governor can select can really be any one from that state as always been that way,
>>538980302What the fuck is all the pearl clutching in this thread? The governor of South Carolina appointed a placeholder until November when an election replaces her with a normal senator who will serve the 6 year term. The fact that the appointee is his sister is immaterial. Since the governor can appoint anyone in this special case, he decided to honor Graham's tenure through his closest surviving family. The alternative is millions of dollars spent on a special election that just gets redone in a couple of months after it's over.
>>538983489So what you're saying is the entire system is a fucking joke and politicians deserve to hang in the streets?
>>538980440As long as you serve israel everything is legal in america
>>538983308We stuck our injuns on reservations, you're giving all of your most valuable land back to the abbo creatures and rapidly being annexed by China. RIP straya.
Governors are allowed to choose in every state im aware of.
>>538980738Elections in US are largely ran by volunteers with the in person parts at least. Difficult to wrangle volunteers across an entire state on short notice while also properly informing voters of who is on ballot. Look at the stuff in Maine with that guy who withdrew. They are scrambling to hold a special election and people already are saying it is like when Harris was chosen to run for Biden. Same thing would have happened if they shoehorned an election for graham. Its a stupid argument but it is what they use because everything is so inefficient here.
>>538983489Appointing someone remotely qualified as a replacement, or having a special election, makes much more sense than appointing a glorified housekeeper to vote on laws that will affect all of us.
>>538980440It's perfectly legal. However, there is an alarming amount of things in a democracy that assume a bare modicum of goodwill, personal responsibility, and voters willing to punish elected official who are being this ass-backwards to work well in practice. Trump and his supporters had put a flamethrower to those qualities at a nationwide level.>>538983235And now Republicans are actively gunning to return to the old days since they can rig state legislatures far easier than a direct Senate election.>>538983392She was elected to replace Cuomo should he leave office prematurely like any vice executive position. Everyone got a say if they were okay with Dick Cheney potentially replacing Bush or Al Gore replacing Clinton.
>>538980302Nothing wrong with monarchies.
>>538983612We live in a digital age, we don't need to travel the election trail by horse and buggy. We could have a digital vote with 2-factor authentication overnight.
>>538983585You didn’t engage with the question, you just acted like you ain’t being swarmed with mehicans and indians (he-who-poops-in-the-street not he-who-runs-with-bears type)Did you pledge allegiance to israel before making that post?
>>538983739>We could have a digital vote with 2-factor authentication overnight.So you want to register your phone number/email to your citizenship? And have your vote tied to that linked identity? Jesus you are a fucking cuck
>>538981603Sorry for not understanding USA election laws in detail anon.>>538983612Thanks for explaining.
>>538984011Don't be disingenuous and/or naive. You already have an SSN tied to everything you do and cell towers and facial recognition cameras tracking your every move, any property you own tied to your name, and your driver license tied to your home address. You're not anonymous in any sense of the word. We might as well use the technology to allow secure elections by registered citizens only.
>>538983739>>538984011Seriously, this is the dumbest fucking retarded gorilla nigger tech cuck shit I’ve ever heard, removing anonymous voting so that you can do it from your shart phone?Americans, come collect your boy, he’s drooling on everything again
>>538981603She could do a lot of damage in 5 months by voting her untrained, unqualified conscience and being the deciding vote on a particularly onerous bill, since we're perpetually 51%/49% now.
>>538980440How is your police forcing you to watch mass rape in a race wide humiliation ritual legal?
>>538984279Voting isn't anonymous, you retard. RIP straya.
>>538984189>>538984189You’re done mate, pack it in and make sure Peter thiel gives you your final paycheck
>>538984352>Voting isn't anonymousIt is in fucking democracies, but we don’t have to suck a circumcised desert cock before voting, so maybe I don’t understand “true democracy”
>>538980440The governor just does what trump says and trump is a total retard. Republicans are genuinely finished once he's gone.
>>538984321it isn't and wasn't and it was covered up illegally. but they got away with it.
>>538984364LET'SGIVEITBAAAAAACK
>>538984463Nah, they'll jump headfirst into the next sadistic grift. He already did his part of destroying decorum and civility, the next guy to come along will be even more deranged now that it's been normalized. You don't Trump anymore to continue disemboweling the norms of a functioning democracy over rainbow flags.
everyone who thinks this is good is certifiably jewish
>>538984540Man you just fucked up that windmill, I don’t think it will recover
>>538980807>Still seems insane that an unelected person can just be put into a position like that.The idea is that they represent the people who voted for Lindsey Graham/GoP, this works because you get someone close to the original person.It's usually only a caretaker position and she'll voted on party lines and basically the numbers in the senate don't change.While there's a small amount of:>she could kill him to get his positionWhat would be worse is:>we could kill one opposition senator to clear the way for that bill to passSomething along these lines has been in democratic constitutions or at least conventions, for hundreds of years and for the most part, works fine.Taking advantage of an opponent's death for political gain is such a mask-off action that it's unlikely to be worth it in most circumstances.The current administration is admittedly prone to testing these boundaries though but this isn't a case of it here.
>>538983739Votes are meant to be anonymous but there are other issues with our election system. Do not need digital voting in a country that has extremely poor digital literacy. Most states have 3 or 4 months of early voting and mail in voting along with a big classic election day and you still have people claiming it is too difficult to vote. It is more of a lazy voter issue and too few polling stations to just have voting occur in 1 day.
>>538984754There there Sancho, leave the fighting to the big boys.
his term was already paid for in full so I don't see where the problem is
>>538984925In most places you have to register with a party , so you're on public record as R,D or I, which tells everyone how you'll be voting 90% of the time anyway. This isn't the 1700s and a high trust society. We need to be able to tie votes to one per citizen so we can prevent fraud. I would prefer anonymous liberty, but that's not realistic at this point in our crumbling empire. Adapt or lose it all.
>>538984473Ok well in this country the governor of a state appointed replacements or calling for a special election is part of our checks and balances guaranteeing state independence. The federal government does not always win.The reason this happened is because south carolina is the neocon version of minnesota, which is why it is nowhere near as developed for tourism and retirement as florida is.
>>538982087Paul Wellstone was a senator from Minnesota who died in a plane crash. His wife took over.
>>538980516
>>538984929Dude you already advocated for giving Peter theil and isreal control over your voting system by tying it to a digital identity that is tied to your ssn/birth certificate There is absolutely nothing that you can say that could redeem yourselfThe “big boys” use their id to get checked if a voter registration roll, then scribble on paper and dump it into a box of thousands of other scribbled paper, I’m sorry you can’t figure out why that is superior
>>538985101Dont know how that works. My state is open primary. I just declare which party I want to do primary for. Could do blue team this year. Red team next year. I typically dont bother with primary but I do vote when a woman is on the ticket to always vote for a man if a woman is the front runner for either party. Dont have to register for a party here though.
>>538980666State governments are funny like that. REPEAL THE 17TH!!!!
>>538985631Actual line item votes cast aren't public record, and the government can tie your vote back to you in any case, we the people just don't have visibility to ensure our vote was counted accurately, and that only citizen votes were counted. Why do I give a fuck if the government knows I voted for x or y? But I think you know that, you're just paid to argue otherwise. RIP straya.
>>53898044017th amendment says the governor can make temporary appointments in vacant senate seats as directed by state legislature, that person serves until a special election can be ran--in this case it's the regular election because the death was close to the election anyway. I'm sure they have provisions for similar in bongistan.
>>538980302LOL! Is the American Constitution really a joke like that?
