Mitch is at least a competent asshole... More on the way perhaps? Even a battery factory for his district or some new onshoring industrial project! Mitch and Joe know how to play politics and the money has already been approved...
McConnell holds joint infrastructure event with Biden in Kentucky, infuriating MAGA Republicans
So where was Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday when the House GOP clown caucus failed once again to get its act together to elect a speaker? In a move sure to infuriate Republican extremists, McConnell made a rare joint appearance with President Joe Biden in Covington, Kentucky, to tout a major project funded by the $1.2 trillion bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed into law in November 2021.
The event offered a sharp contrast to the chaos engulfing the House with the new narrow GOP majority unable to elect a speaker on its second day in control.
Biden began his remarks by thanking McConnell for providing the votes needed to get the infrastructure bill passed according to a transcript of the speeches.
"I wanted to start off the New Year at this historic project with the bi-partisan agreement because I believe it sends an important message to the entire country," Biden said. "We can work together. We can get things done. We can move the nation forward. If we drop our egos and focus on what is needed for the country."
In his remarks, McConnell said, “Even while we have big differences on other things .. this bridge, I think, symbolizes coming together ... If you look at the political alignment of everyone involved, it’s the government is working together to solve a major problem at a time when the country needs to see examples like this, of coming together and getting an outcome … I’m proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish.”
McConnell had fully expected to take over as Senate majority leader on Tuesday when the new Congress convened. But instead, Democrats ended up increasing their Senate majority by one seat in the midterms.
Unlike his spineless House counterpart Kevin McCarthy, McConnell may realize it's beneficial for party leaders to stand up to rather than appease extremist MAGA Republicans. He has blamed Trump for putting up poor quality candidates like Herschel Walker in Georgia and Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania who lost potentially winnable races that left him as minority leader.

Mitch also knows Donald is going down and his hangers on will go down with him, in 2024 Mitch and Rove will primary the likes of Bobo the clown with even bigger racists that they control. All they need to do is blow the dog whistle harder in their districts and call them RINOs. Others might be taken out by Jack since most are on the pardon list and a few are rookies.

i don't like him, but he knows how to play the game.
the democrats have an advantage in dealing with the republicans now though...they KNOW the republican agenda now. the REAL republican agenda, to load state legislatures, to load the judicial system...and now we can start fighting that, while offering more support to the "reasonable" republicans. mitch is a greedy, greasy little turtle, but he can be dealt with, and forced to fuck over their own long term plans, now that that plan has been brought to the light.

A lot of people have got "woke" to this shit over the past 7 years, Trump made many realize these are fascist assholes they are dealing with. It's like a lot of Ukrainians never thought about joining the army until their country and survival was threatened, then they did in droves. Trump and the abortion issue left a trail of grass roots organizations mostly run by women at the local levels and this will come back to haunt them. Russia and Ukraine drove most of the old hawks, military and national security communities out of the GOP and will continue to divide them, because new funding will be requested, even if not required.

This will make the magats and Donald most unhappy and could foreshadow what might happen in the house. Perhaps after a few of the magats get indicted the balance of power could shift a bit. Santos looks gone in the near future and would be replaced by a democrat, other republicans are facing non J6 legal trouble too. 2023 promises to be a hot year for investigations, grand juries and indictments, Jack will be busy well into 2024 and should have plenty of republican scalps on his belt by then. I think when it is all said and done, they should have their waxworks heads mounted on Plaques and displayed in the lobby of the DOJ, or even the rotunda in the capitol! 
Why not they have plenty of stone heads in the rotunda and they can replace the racists ones and be hung like big game trophies with surprised looks on their faces, as a warning to the other sleazy bastards.

I'd say Bobo is in serious shit, one of those clowns will want a deal for her ass and who knows what else Jack might find out. There were many requesting pardons and Mark Meadows knows them all and even why! Imagine what will happen if Mark cuts a deal with Jack after Donald goes down for the docs, many in congress will shit themselves out of fright. Once Jack starts taking down important people and especially Trump, they will become increasingly nervous. I really do think Jack wants elected officials and government employees and if he has the evidence he will do it and cut deals too.

Cruz and Carlson are both traitors and are viewed that way by many these days, both sprout Russian propaganda and give aid and comfort to America's enemies.
