In the least surprising news of the day, Turtle Mitch will vote to acquit Trump.
I guess that makes it official that the GOP (or GQP as they're being called lately) are now the party of Trump and QAnon, and that old-school Reagan/Bush style Republicanism is dead.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has told his colleagues that he will vote to acquit former President Donald Trump of inciting the insurrection at the US Capitol last month because he doesn't think the Senate has jurisdiction to try to the case, according to sources familiar with the matter. He described it as a close call.
The decision all but ensures that Trump will avoid becoming the first president in American history to be convicted in an impeachment trial. McConnell plans to explain his decision after the final vote, an aide told CNN.
