Mitch McConnell is whining, pouting and grumbling because he is going to be forced to hold a Trump impeachment trial.
McConnell told reporters, “It looks to me like the house is going to be on this until Christmas. Then it comes over to the senate. It displaces all other business. The chief justice of the United States is in the chair. Senators are not allowed to speak. They have to sit there and listen, and I’m not sure how long it will go on.”
