Vol. 5 ·  Chapter 35 The Long Winter · Dec 7 – Dec 13, 2021
Manga panel 1 of 5, Week 339 “The Broken Old Crow”: The tenth of December. The Senate leader has given up the one piece of leverage the exile wanted used, and the news reaches Florida at night.
THE LEVERAGE IS CONCEDED WITHOUT A VOTE. HE HEARS OF IT THE WAY HE HEARS OF EVERYTHING NOW — AFTERWARDS.
Mitch McConnell, the Broken Old Crow, has just conceded, for absolutely nothing and for no reason, the powerful Debt Ceiling negotiating block, which was the Republicans' first-class ticket for victory over the Democrats. He was
Manga panel 2 of 5, Week 339 “The Broken Old Crow”: The arena fills every night of the tour. It is the one room in the country he can still command, and he does not own it.
THE HALLS ARE FULL EVERY NIGHT OF THE TOUR. NONE OF THEM ARE HIS.
Manga panel 3 of 5, Week 339 “The Broken Old Crow”: Four words to a state he is not standing in. The crowd is the one part of the machine that still answers on its own.

This week in the saga

Forty-eight statements in seven days, and the week's real event is a surrender by his own side. The Senate leader hands the Democrats the debt-ceiling fight for nothing, and the exile — who wanted it used as a weapon — can only put the word out on letterhead and watch. Against that, the halls: the history tour plays Florida to full houses, he thanks the crowd leaving Orlando and names Texas for the following weekend, and a four-word message to Missouri goes out to people who never left. The crowd is the one part of the machine that still answers on its own. The other verdict of the week is aimed at the man who took the office — the world looked at the surrender in Kabul, then looked at him, and stopped worrying.
