I haven't gotten around to posting about this yet because my initial take involved repeatedly copying and pasting the word "motherf***er" 35 times, but this is just another indication (out of an innumerable amount of previous examples) that the only thing Mitch McConnell is interested in is dying an incredibly rich bastard after being as much of an obstructionist tool in the Senate as possible before he goes.
House representative Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Illinois) has stated that the 35 traffic cones in the Senate who voted against a commission effectively gave the Trumpers all the ability to cover up who was behind January 6th, but - even worse - also gave them all the excuses they needed to possibly try that shit all over again. If they do, and succeed, I'm done. It's either leave the country or go underground after that. And I'm not engaging in hyperbole about that fact.
A certain class of democratically elected politician - initially, at least - has always acted like they have a God-given right to stay in office permanently afterward, and that losing that office was the worst thing possibly imaginable, which is precisely the reasoning behind people like Putin, Erdogan, Duterte and (though he wasn't as successful as the other three) Trump. All of them share the belief (whether stated or not) that their particular form of autocracy and corruption was the best thing for all involved. Which is bullshit, of course, but it doesn't stop them from promulgating the idea to people dumb enough to be their followers. My response is simple, especially concerning Trump: think losing your office is bad? Try losing your entire fucking country instead.
