Excuse me, Mr. Former and One Term President, I see a bus heading your way, and I think you under it will be a good place for you (I mean, for me).

Mc Turtle - shiving Don Jon …

Is this McConnell’s attempt to stem the non-college educated takeover of the GOP by letting the Dems deal with the noisy, unqualifed people Trump promoted into McConnell’s closed system of governance?

Guess the big orange swelling must have finally gone down in GOP internal polling.

McConnell is doing some insider trading and getting out ahead of an upcoming news cycle. I wonder who’s feeding him info? Probably one of Cheney’s or Kinzinger’s aids who is hoping to move on up the ladder.

Mitch sat back and waited to see where this is going. In the meantime his people are saying mean things about him. Triangulation is mighty here. I think Mitch is going for the vengeance is mine fork in the road.

Could be the Mitch would like to stick a shiv into TFG (as long as it can’t be traced back to him) but it may be he has decided it’s better to sit on the fence given the increasing probability of criminal indictments or at least the news-turn to same.

It sounds like Mitch sees the Committee as a way to get rid of (or at least hamstring) some of the folks who are obstructing his control of the GOP. It’s no secret that the sees some of the MAGA extremists (including Trump himself?) as impediments.

A. McConnell is supporting the J6C

B. McConnell is supporting McConnell

I choose B

(McConnell was saying “interesting” a few days ago…now he’s saying “public needs to know”)

Trump has been attacking him because of the spending ceiling BS. McConnel is just remaining the dotard that the only reason he completed a full term is because he saved his ass twice after the impeachments.
