The Big Lie is clearly a big lie say the courts.  The lawyers who supported the Big Lie are falling like flies.  Voting against popular bills isn't going to make the Reds more popular.  Even McConnell voted with the Democrats on the bipartisan infrastructure bill.  The Mississippi hospital system is among those collapsing while their governor went on a political junket.

And you still don't seem to have a clue...

It's pretty obvious that the blue tribers, the Democratic party and a relatively small group of establishment Republicans aka the GOP still seem to care about it but that's about it these days. As far as the outcome, the outcome has already been determined and Biden is the President of the United States, No one else cares about it and most have pretty moved with their lives and are more focused on relevant issues pertaining to their lives and their future as Americans.
   
I wouldn't be surprised if McConnell voted for Biden. McConnell is about all that's left of the GOP establishment. So, the idea of him going along with the Democratic establishment and prop up Biden a bit to save face doesn't surprise me either. So, how many years have McConnell and Biden been doing business while serving together in Washington DC? I'm pretty sure fortunes were made by both of them.

So, where did the recent Delta variant come from? Do you think the hundreds of thousands (possibly a million??) who have entered the country illegally or were allowed to enter it for some reason that may or may not be true could have anything to do with the current COVID related crisis? Was it just a coincidence or directly related to it?

Possibly US officials including Democrats like Cuomo and DeBlasio were a week or two too slow in closing the border to flights from Europe. Some objected to Trump's call for closing the border from Chinese, calling it xenophobia. In this way, the Democrats can be partly blamed for the spread of covid. But blaming immigrants from south of the border, when covid had not even arrived there yet, is just more reactionary Republican grandstanding like the horrible governor DeSantis is doing to deflect his own complicity in the worst covid surge in the country and even the world today. Republicans are most of the people now refusing to take the vaccine or wear masks, so the covid surge today is a direct Republican attack on our health, supported by Republican governors like DeSantis and Abbott. Meanwhile, Biden has continued the restrictions on immigration imposed by Trump in order to control covid.

McConnell actually stated during the Jan.6 hearings that he voted for Trump, as such a Republican stalwart and leader of stick-in-the mud campaigns surely would do.
