Aaaaargh, matey! What ‘ave we ‘ere in the apple barrel, eh? A new thread, ye say. I’ll swear an affidavey on that, Jim! It’s all that swab, ransomnote, matey, Aaaaargh!
The present government engineered the slimmest of majorities in the 2020 elections and have taken it as a mandate to overthrow the normal order. The Republicans should be fighting (tooth and nail) but instead they are talking, endlessly, about what they will do if and when they re-take the Congress. Meanwhile it is at least clear that Mitch McConnell voluntarily and willingly surrendered the Senate in 2020 and that he doesn't want it back now. McCarthy doesn't instill a lot of esprit de corpse either.
The next five weeks could prove interesting!
