The most interesting thing in this article is not yet another confirmation that all of Trump's claims of election fraud are (in the words of then-Attorney General William Barr himself) "all bullshit," nor yet another rehash of Trump's borderline insanity. It's that Mitch McConnell has confirmed that he knew and agreed that Trump's claims were bullshit--and "damaging to the country"--way back in mid-November of 2020, but intentionally chose not to say anything publicly for two months solely because he didn't want to risk pissing off Trump.

"Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell had been urging him [Barr] to speak out since mid-November. Publicly, McConnell had said nothing to criticize Trump's allegations, but he told Barr that Trump's claims were damaging to the country and to the Republican Party. Trump's refusal to concede was complicating McConnell's efforts to ensure that the GOP won the two runoff elections in Georgia scheduled for January 5. ... McConnell also believed that if he openly declared Biden the winner, Trump would be enraged and likely act to sabotage the Republican Senate campaigns in Georgia. ... 'Look, we need the president in Georgia,' McConnell told Barr, 'and so we cannot be frontally attacking him right now. But you're in a better position to inject some reality into this situation. You are really the only one who can do it.' ... On another call, McConnell again pleaded with Barr to come out and shoot down the talk of widespread fraud. 'Bill, I look around, and you are the only person who can do it,' McConnell told him."

Note: Barr isn't just trying to dump blame on McConnell after the fact. McConnell has verified these facts:

"Barr related his conversations with McConnell to me. McConnell confirms the account."

Racism in America

And even now, the human mind

      is easy to deceive—

Amazing what the human brain

      is willing to believe—

The liars take the reigns of power,

      to the world’s sorrow—

The lemmings jump the cliff without

Silence Him. Vote for a change.
