One of Congressā€™s most powerful Republicans apparently feels powerless in the face of Donald Trumpā€™s 2024 presidential campaign.

Sitting for an interview with CBSā€™sĀ Face the NationĀ on Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell explained that he didnā€™t see any other option than to endorse the GOP presidential nomineeā€”despite having made previous declarations against Trump, including blaming him for the violent events that unfolded on January 6.

ā€œThe 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?ā€ McConnellĀ saidĀ after insinuating he was duty-bound as the most powerful Republican in the Senate to support the candidate that Republican delegates voted for.

      Diesel burns slowly, though petrol makes diesel easier to ignite.

      We mix them 3:1 Diesel/Petrol (called ā€˜driptorchā€™ fuel, used in ā€˜driptorchesā€™) 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 itā€™d reach its flash point long before the diesel does.
