Why Won't Mitch McConnell Adjourn The Senate Until January 21st?

 It would shut down the 2nd impeachment travesty and allow a "cooling off period" until the Inauguration.  If people were sincere about "healing" or "transition integrity," Congress would go home. There would be nothing to attack on Capitol Hill. When Biden and the Democrats took over, they could do what they wanted.

Anything bad that happens before then is 100 percent the legacy of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the GOP...because they can stop it very easily by taking a vacation.

My recommendation to Senator McConnell: Adjourn the US Senate on Monday.

Alternatively, President Trump could prorogue Congress using Presidential powers in the US Constitution:

Article 2, Clause 3 also authorizes the president to prorogue Congress if the House and Senate cannot agree on the time of adjournment; no president has ever had to exercise this administrative power.[38][39] In 2020, President Donald Trump threatened to use this clause as a justification to prorogue both houses of Congress in order to make recess appointments during the COVID-19 pandemic, although he does not have the authority to do so unless either the Senate or the House of Representatives were to alter their scheduled adjournment dates.[40][41]
