In January, as Senate majority leader in the last Congress, Mr. Mitch McConnell blocked a Senate impeachment trial. Then, in February, McConnell claimed that it was too late to hold Donald Trump accountable since he was no longer president. Real cute, Mitch! Adding mischief to insult, after voting to acquit, Mr. McConnell then got up and made a speech in the Senate roundly condemning Donald John Trump. Having been Trump’s lap dog for lo these several years, Mr. McConnell— we are now told— personally has a very low regard for the former president. Actions speaking louder than words, you would never know it from Mitch McConnell’s behavior in the last four years.
Meanwhile, the gutless wonders of the Republican Party in the Senate voted to acquit. Some public officials feel it is part of their job to help educate the public. Senate Republicans, with a few exceptions, apparently don’t share that sense of responsibility. Instead of informing and educating the mass of Trump supporters, Senate Republicans cave to the mob’s every demand, currying favor, kowtowing and groveling in abject fear of both primary challengers and gun-toting extremists. You made your bed, dudes, I’m sorry you don’t sleep well.
While the U.S. Senate fumbled the ball, Swedish rap band realPfft was busy grinding out “Imp-Imp-Impeachment,” another tuneful political satire.
House music forever! Love the drums.
