1. "As the Allies enter Berlin, officials of the Reich distance themselves from top Nazis

and offer to negotiate an amicable peace"

[OnDoutside]

7. Godwin has a lot to answer for, there are so many parallels between

these times and the Nazi lifecycle.

[A Brand New World]

2. Then he needs to schedule the trial the second he receives the

Articles of Impeachment from the house! Do your job Mitch!!

[Mike Nelson]

3. That's fine, but...

... Mitch McConnell-Trump is always going to be remembered as a full Trump team player. He and his wife are Gold Medal supporters! This late term "distancing" is meaningless.

[DFW]

4. This would have had some meaning if published in January 2017

Now? It will have about as much impact as a used paper clip falling to the floor from the desk of McTurtle's assistant secretary.

5. McConnell doesn't care about the damage to America or to the people.

He is mad because Trump cost him the senate, the presidency, his caucus, his power.
He is not much better than Trump.

[OnDoutside]

8. Much worse than Trump. Agree about him losing the Senate it

wouldn't shock me to see a bit of Machiavellian revenge on Trump on the way out the door.

[Irish_Dem]

9. And to Cruz and Hawley.

McConnell is evil smart.
Trump is evil stupid.

Which is worse? I'll go with evil smart.

[OnDoutside]

10. 100% agree.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

11. Exactly right. And he will only allow iDJT to suffer any punishment

that in no way negatively affects himself or the GOP.

[smirkymonkey]

12. Of course, we all know this.

But there is a wonderful feeling of schadenfreude at watching all these bastards turn on each other and watching the base turn on them as well.

[Irish_Dem]

14. They are all so self-serving they don't even want to protect their own party.

The party that has allowed them to be wealthy and powerful.
And encouraged their greed and corruption, encouraged sociopaths to rule the country.

Yes, the GOP food fight is enormously entertaining.

[Mister Ed]

6. That's because Trump turned the mob on McConnell.

The intention - at best - was to deprive the legislature, and thus McConnell, of power. At worst, McConnell could have been strung up by the rioters for being insufficiently loyal to Trump.

McConnell had to flee for his life from the Senate chamber he has ruled. I don't expect him to forget that experience. No, I don't expect him to forget it.

13. He blames Trump for losing Senate and spoling Mitch's dream of obstructing Biden for years

Sorry, no redemption for Mitch whose long silence about Biden's victory perpetuated the Big Lie and who would only allow the last stimulus bill out of desperation to save those Georgia Senate seats.

[Buckeyeblue]

15. I think Mitch did that to himself by the way he handled the stimulus

He could have propped up the two GA Senators as leaders in the fight for the stimulus. Instead he was snarky about it. I don't know if it would have helped...but it definitely denied them from being able to take a victory lap around GA.
