The Senate is proving itself to be a laughingstock of a legislative body completely opposed to the concept of "government of the people, by the people, for the people".

After threatening to prevent the transfer of power in the Senate to Democrats, which McConnell had the power to do because the Senate is absurd, McConnell is now threatening that if Democrats implement rules to his disliking he will essentially shut down the Senate, which he has the power to do because the Senate is absurd.
