Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) committed a mortal political error on Saturday when, after voting to acquit President Trump on constitutional grounds, he accused the former president of the crime of being “practically and morally” responsible for the invasion and vandalization of the U.S. Capitol on January 6 and the deaths of five people.
McConnell not only signed on to the ultimate NeverTrump loyalty oath of submission to the totalitarian big lie there was no possible doubt about the legitimacy of the election verdict; he also declared Trump had no choice but to accept the result and quietly leave Washington with his tail between his legs.

This is full of so much good stuff. I won’t spoil it. But his generous use of our rich language is really a delight amongst articles by so many who apparently never got past fourth grade.
A sample:
It is starting to look like the beginning of the fall of a row of Democratic dominoes: Pelosi loses her political mind, the media-confected canonization of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo explodes, the vain and incompetent Gavin Newsom of California is on the verge of being recalled, and the ludicrous imposture of the Lincoln Project disintegrates amid charges of sexual perversion and gross pecuniary corruption.

Politicians know how to win votes and get elected to high office. Once in office, their lack of intelligence is breathtaking as McConnell just displayed.

McConnell is trying to cover up his negligence for knowingly not providing adequate security
for the Senate, for which he was responsible.

That Black seems to imagine that the election was fair and won by Traitor Joe is bothersome. Yes, Black comments on some of the legal questions which were not answered, just suppressed.
But his statement " Biden (contrary to Trump’s claims) clearly won the popular ballot by over 5 million votes,..." rankles, frankly, even with some qualifications after.

It's weird.
I wonder why Conrad Black won't cop to the fact that Trump. without all the cheating and unconstitutional rule changes, really did win the election "in a landslide", "by a lot" as Trump says.
None of Trump's loyalists are deeply loyal, only just enough, if that.
Everyone is small and in it for themselves. It's the rot of Rome, baby.

There are 3 central questions that must be honestly and fully resolved before this administration or anyone in the political class can be treated as anything other than an elaborate system of deception to control a gullible population.
1. Was Joe Biden and his family involved in financial schemes that leveraged his political power over the years and has now compromised our national security interests regarding the Chinese government?
2. Was the Wuhan Virus the product of the PLA gain-of-function research that was being conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and did the CCP exploit its spread without telling the other nations of the world the truth about its origin and human infection potential?
3. Was the election of 2020 manipulated in five specific urban areas of the country (Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Milwaukee) using unverified mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting in selected areas, and unauditable voting machine adjudication to steal the election from the incumbent Donald Trump?
All other news and commentary is just noise and not worth any time following. History is waiting for these answers.

#6, and the answers to your three questions is somewhere between "Obviously, provably yes" and " to a high degree of certainty".

It's almost too fun. Donald Trump ... the first private citizen of the United States to be impeached but of course not removed from office because he wasn't in office ... Conrad Black, say no more. We now have 80 MILLION Trumps. Let's play..

Biden lost the popular ballot to Trump by an estimated 20 million votes. Other than that I agree with the article.

Black skips around the simple fact that McConnell and Pelosi are leading the UNIPARTY. Their masks have been torn away for the public to see, if allowed to look. They are partners in legislative crime, manufacturing conflict to satisfy the blind partisans, before reaching agreements that favor the progressive POV, with Mitch muttering about "the best we could do." In many cases the fight isn't over outcome, but timing.
Trump is hardly the leader of the Congressional GOP. If push came to shove he'd be lucky to muster 25 votes. There may have been 80 million votes for Trump, but not all are faithful followers any more than the millions who voted for Romney or McCain. Many held their noses when they voted, the alternative Biden beyond their pale, although "we all know better." By '24 FPDT will be a spent political force, like Ross Perot was in '96. And Mitch will still be Republican leader in the Senate. The UNIPARTY won...
