Agree with you, Carol!!! 'led by Mitch McConnell' ... well I had to read that 2 or 3 times and then wondered where the joke was. That Mitch is leading anything simply has to have a punchline.
'He told Fox the same month that withholding the Taiwan sale gave him a “very good negotiating chip.”' That sounds one baby step away from what he got impeached for the first time. No specific quid pro quo, but "negotiating chip" sure implies one.
Might the problem needing to be solved be one of language? "Win" can mean "unequivocal victory" (like: "we put 1,000 into that slot machine and got out 10,000) or "we took a win (however small), like, we put 100,000 pennies into that slot machine and we got a win of 1. We won!" Similarly, "rules" can mean "rules are the borders of the road we're on" just as it can mean "we've got this 4x4 and are just going to drive around this traffic jam by cutting across Mary's fields". The guard rails exist for a reason. For another reason, so do 4x4s. With that in mind, the problem to be solved might also be the question of how to use language to solve these social dimensions of language. Keep at it! We'll get there together.
Is Mitch McConnell currently capable of leading anyone or anything? Recent video from the Agriculture Committee shows a confused McConnell being prompted by staff members to vote “Yea” on the Farm Bill.
Ahhh ... as Harold highlights above, leading has a broad definition just as win does. Now I feel compelled to share with Harold that I can see a frighteningly broad definition for 'We'll get there together' ... sorry, Harold, for throwing in my pessimism.
Someday soon, McConnell will be gone. So will Trump. The problem is that all the opportunists and far-rightists who supported them will not. Those people have been empowered by the corrupted GOP — the battle against their greed and neofascist ideology will continue for a long time.
There are no laws nor is there a constitution that Trump follows. When it’s stated that the constitution prohibits anything it’s a smokescreen and hypocrisy. (Somehow I accidentally stopped notifications from you. Can you tell me how to get them back?)
Tainted gold glitters with the tears from the millions of us being systematically crushed by the cruel corruption spreading around the globe. Maybe I should say billions of us.
HUH? ".... hours before Xi arrived, a group of Republican senators led by Mitch McConnell" No explanation or snark about Mitch?

well, the other senators were pushing Mitch's wheelchair in front of them, so he might have appeared to have been leading...
Ahh

Good work, ma’am. Thank you for this.
