Opinion| Lawrence David| It’s not an accident of fate that Mitch McConnell is the Senate Majority Leader just as Chuck Schumer didn’t ascend to the leadership of Senate Democrats because of his charming personality and negotiating ability.
Both McConnell and Schumer are brothers in arms, committed to the preservation of the established order – a.k.a. the Swamp.
You’ll remember that McConnell opposed Donald Trump’s candidacy until the time it became 100% politically untenable to continue to do so. He has done little to advance the Trump agenda.
This was after he worked with then-Speaker John Boehner to crush the ‘pesky constitutionalists’ from the Tea Party whose uprising began with the 2010 class.
Early this week when Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC) announced the outline of a 6-8 week trial of the upcoming Senate Impeachment trial of President Trump it was done with McConnell’s (and, Schumer’s) blessing.
John Cornyn (R-TX) followed Burr’s announcement with his own statement that, should the House vote to impeach President Donald Trump, he doubted a motion to dismiss the charges would succeed in the Senate

Editor’s Prediction: If the Republicans remove Trump, the party will not exist by this time next year & Trump will be the most powerful man in the history of American politics.
Will the establishment ever realize that the only way to destroy us … is to embrace us? Don’t hold your breath

They don't really care whether the truth gets out, because the public no longer knows what's meant by "the truth."
Well, I mean, no one can tell the difference anymore between what's real and what's fake.
Anyway, the point is, I can tell you all of this, right out in the open, because it doesn't matter who knows about it. They won't know whether to believe it or not.-

A gun is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

Jefferson Smith: You see, boys forget what their country means by just reading The Land of the Free in history books. Then they get to be men they forget even more. Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak. My ancestors couldn't, I can, and my children will. Boys ought to grow up remembering that . - MR Smith Goes To Washington-
