Mitch McConnell has admitted he can’t control the Republican Party.
One of Congress’s most powerful Republicans apparently feels powerless in the face of Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
Sitting for an interview with CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell explained that he didn’t see any other option than to endorse the GOP presidential nominee—despite having made previous declarations against Trump, including blaming him for the violent events that unfolded on January 6.
“The issue is, what kind of influence, even if I had chosen to get involved in the presidential election, what kind of influence would I have had?” McConnell said after insinuating he was duty-bound as the most powerful Republican in the Senate to support the candidate that Republican delegates voted for.

Hey guys, I poured some diesel on this fire, and hid all the extinguishers. Turns out that it's hard to control it now.
I think petrol is worse if you want a better example than diesel.
Petrol instantly vaporizes and explodes, and exhausts itself more or less right away. Diesel takes time to heat up enough, but once it does, it's a raging inferno that easily reignites by itself after being extinguished.

How would it go if they were mixed and ignited?
Diesel burns slowly, though petrol makes diesel easier to ignite.
We mix them 3:1 Diesel/Petrol (called 'driptorch' fuel, used in 'driptorches') to safely put fire to the ground when we need to.

Never tried, but I would suspect that petrol could be an effective accelerant, as it'd reach its flash point long before the diesel does.
We all understand the message, no need to clarify the type of fire it should be.
Ideally, it'd be a turd-fire, but afaik, they don't exist, so I went with diesel.
