With McConnell’s endorsement of Trump, it gives the green light to other remaining skeptical Republicans — and the deep-pocketed donors who fuel campaigns — to fall in line despite any reservations they may have about a return to the Trump era.

After the Jan. 6 attack of the Capitol, McConnell issued a grave rebuke of Trump’s behavior, blaming the defeated president for spreading “wild” claims of a stolen election.

While McConnell refused to convict Trump in the Senate trial on House impeachment charges of inciting the insurrection at the Capitol, which could have left him ineligible to serve again as president, he warned that Trump was not immune from civil or criminal prosecution once he left the White House.

      That’s a great idea. Hopefully I can outlive a lot of the people I hate and can spend my retirement travelling around the world pissing on their grave. Maybe I’ll start a tour business where we go for a pub crawl first and then lead a tour through the cemetery

        Remember to stay safe and plan out your expedition. Avoid accusations of sex crimes by simply storing your evacuated liquid hatred for proper disposal. When you arrive, look around! Spot and avoid any potential groundskeepers or security guards who may question your choice to heft an opaque (bpa-free) 5 gallon water jug to your receptacle of choice. Lastly, enjoy. Let your enemy’s bereaved friends and family forever bask in the brine of your miasmic asparagine-laden essence. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
