Biden may also realize that praise from him can work against McConnell with the QOP base, who already think he is not sufficiently loyal to TFG.

I didn't think that Biden was that devious, but maybe I was wrong.

I'm also sure that Biden, after serving in the Senate for years with Mitch, has some level of personal affection for the man.

I think it's child psychology. It won't work with McConnell, but I see it working against McConnell.

I think Biden is being sincere.

Unfortunately, that era of politics is gone.

You can be sincere and be playing the long game at the same time.

Biden is no naïf. He won’t always rock the boat but he knows what’s happening.

I'm sure that Biden thinks that, by praising McConnell, he is encouraging a return to civility (a good thing).

However, it might backfire. In today's environment, especially among the right-wing republican world, McConnell may feel that he has to somehow reject Biden's compliments, lest the RWNJs think that he is too friendly with the democrats. IOW, it could drive McConnell even further to the right.

McConnell has never seen a back he wasn't willing to stab.

I understand people say he was once a reasonable legislator. Not in my memory.

McConnell is never going to be right, center, or left. He is going to float to wherever benefits McConnell at that moment.

There is a story I've heard about Mitch. It may be apocryphal.

Apparently, some staffer was following him down a hall in the Capitol, droning on and on about some arcane policy question. Mitch finally stopped, turned to him and said "You don't understand. I don't do policy. I do politics."

As I said, I don't know if it is true, but it certainly feels true. McConnell doesn't seem to care a whit about governing or what is best for the country; winning a political fight is all he cares about.

Trump doesn't do either policy or politics, but he sure is a virtuoso on that dog whistle.

Nice headline. :mrgreen:
For some reason this reminds me of a report I once read that one of the bits of Latin grafitti left behind on Hadrian's Wall by Roman soldiers basically read something like "Better ten years up an elephant's ass than one more year guarding this fucking wall." I have always considered that the height of perfect misery in expression.
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

I don't believe McConnell ever said that, at least he claims he didn't and no one has been able to prove that he did that I've seen.

FWIW.
