At the risk of offending desperados from places like Greenland and North Korea, to say nothing of millions of law-abiding citizens in a certain Central American republic, I will not refer to the situation in which Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell find themselves as a “Mexican stand-off.”
It would not be entirely accurate anyway. Both men have fired their weapons. Trump is already in the dirt shouting curses at all the dirty dogs what done him in, and viewers watching the slow-motion finale are wondering whether David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, Georgia’s two sitting Republican senators, were grazed by the bullet intended for McConnell.
