And now for something completely different…
Video page notes:
It's the oldest of jokes: you really need a bathroom. You happen upon Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump - and they're both on fire. What do you do?!?!
We haven't had a laugh like this in months. McConnell tried to split the ethical difference by acquitting Trump then blaming Trump. From his exile in Elba-Lago, the modern Julius Sleazier responded Tuesday by threatening to primary McConnell and his caucus, by congratulating himself on his loss, and by slamming McConnell's wife and invoking her Chinese heritage.
Plus, Politico reports Trump and writing thug Jason Miller originally included jokes about McConnell's double chin. These were removed, possibly because gave Donnie a mirror and reminded Miller he looks like an evil Charlie Brown.
It's great fun and we should enjoy it. But it also has practical implications. If the Republican Party splits into Trump and Anti-Trump factions, the Conservatives are hampered in 2022 and dead in 2024. And if the Trump State GOP soviets continue to censure Senators who voted against Trump in the impeachment trial, could the retiring ones like Richard Burr and Pat Toomey, or the more respectable ones like Mitt Romney and Bill Cassidy, wind up drifting towards the Democratic caucus or even the party itself?
