Technically, Mitch McConnell is the Republican leader in the United States Senate.
But in real life, on the issues that matter, Mitch McConnell is an instrument of the left.

Better than Tucker, lately
Whatever you want to say about McConnell, the GOP has no Senate strategist capable of replacing him, and if you can’t replace him its a waste of energy to whine about him.
Talking heads we have aplenty

The other side of this is that the January 6 event went very badly wrong, and that was one of Tim Unes events, that he was responsible for planning and running. Not sure why the New York Times had to be informed, though, if the goal was to prevent any appearance of impropriety to tarnish Bob Dole’s legacy.

Over the past year his strategery in the Senate has been to make sure that the GOP provided all the help required to make sure Biden's ruinous agenda got out of committees and enough GOP votes (including his own) to get it all passed. The prior four years his strategery was focused on blocking Trump's agenda. Yes, he got judges through. Big deal, every president gets their judges through. Hell, if not for a hail mary from Lindsay Graham Kavanaugh would have failed but I guess McConnell gets credit for that one too.
He's an enemy, he strategies ways to shaft the conservative base by actively helping the democrats and electing RINOs.

Because Mitch is a vicious, nasty man. That’s why.
And you don’t want to cross him.

Biden is not actually getting much through the Senate. The House, sure, the looneys have free rein there, mostly, but McConnell is the leader of the minority party in the Senate, yet he has got the administration mostly blocked. The Democrats technically have the presidency and both chambers, so we could easily be in full-on reparations, defund the police, and swimming in a sewer of “unintended” consequences. Any strategic geniuses in evidence among RFK, Jr.’s antivaxxers? I don’t think so.

Biden got an infrastructure bill out of the Senate. Did Trump? No. Debt ceiling passed courtesy of a filabuster removed by the GOP? Check there, too. Now the Marxist Green New Deal is going to pass and you can thank China Mitch for greasing its passage.
The contrast between McConnell’s GOP and the Dems fighting Trump/MAGA every day for all 4 years could not be stronger. But I guess loving eyes will never see.

Tucker needs to be looking to his own sins at this point Like being BFF’s with Hunter Biden and letting Rittenhouse slam Lin Wood without even getting Lin’s side of the story.

The House controls the purse strings and Pelosi pretty much did in the negotiations on Trump’s infrastructure bill with the Mueller report. Trump got blamed for walking out of negotiations and tanking the bill, but “Crossfire Hurricane” ensured that his working conditions were impossible. Plus Trump’s infrastructure bill was a lot bigger and not everyone was happy about that.
The debt ceiling failure would lower our rating and increase our interest payments. Its interesting that they don’t seem to be polling that question anymore, probably because while it is likely that most members of the public would approve raising the ceiling, they would also likely tie that to oversight, transparency, and future cuts.
Trump had a divided Congress to deal with, Biden doesn’t, at least not yet, depending on what happens with the midterms.

Biden has secured over $3T ($3,000,000,000,000) in new spending with GOP support in the Senate including Mitch McConnell himself voting for the bills. He also has gotten the debt ceiling raised twice thanks to Mitch McConnell. Extreme leftists rubber stamped into cabinet positions, key leadership roles in the various departments, and the judiciary with nary a word and mostly with GOP votes under Mitch's leadership. Hell, Biden gets more Senate support from the GOP than Trump did.
I don't know what you consider "mostly blocked" but these are historic spending numbers that the GOP and specifically Mitch McConnell enabled. Yes the crazies in the house pass a lot of symbolic BS. That's just campaign fodder, nobody expects it to go anywhere. But to me it sure seems Biden gets everything he himself wants through the Senate after some drama and posturing. With GOP support.

McConnell's strategy skills serve the Deep State.
*****There’s a lot of convoluted internal stuff, but essentially Mitch McConnell is going to set up a process for Democrats in the Senate to raise the debt ceiling by themselves.

Mitch will enlist the usual Decepticon suspects to change the senate rules, for one-time only, allowing democrats to raise the debt ceiling without having to enter negotiations and concessions for anything republican lawmakers want (like eliminating the Biden spending bill).
McConnell will need nine more republicans to change the process, but it looks like he’s going to be successful.
This will permit Democrats to raise the debt ceiling by approximately $2 trillion, so they can continue debate on Biden’s Build Back Better bill. Yeah, Uniparty gonna Uniparty.
WASHINGTON DC – […] The Senate minority leader spent Tuesday selling his members on a convoluted strategy that would require at least 10 Republicans to approve legislation that would later allow Senate Democrats to raise the debt ceiling by a simple majority vote. After a leadership meeting and a Senate GOP lunch, McConnell said he’d done enough work to clinch the deal in a vote expected on Thursday. (read more)
So the Senate DeceptiCons will *claim* to be against the multi-trillion ‘Build Back Better’, fundamental change, spending bill. Yet they will have facilitated the Democrats not having to negotiate or eliminate anything inside the BBB bill, by removing the leverage of the debt ceiling raise. Yep, Uniparty gotta Uniparty – all courtesy of the DeceptiCon caucus. I hate them.
President Donald Trump notes the Mitch McConnell nonsense in a statement:
“I’m watching Republican Senators talk about fighting the horrendous Build Back Better Bill that the Democrats will push forward, made much easier for them by the 19 Republican Senators who voted for the Democrats Unfrastructure Plan, which is only 11% Infrastructure, and also by McConnell incredibly giving the Democrats a two-month extension, which allowed them to get their act together. Now the Republicans start fighting a much harder war, and I told them this would happen. It’s pathetic! Those 19 Republicans, including the Broken Old Crow, should not be forgotten for what they have done and the absolutely horrible ramifications this Bill will have on the future of our Nation. Just like McConnell blew two Senate seats in Georgia, and wouldn’t fight the Rigged Presidential Election, he gave this one away also.” (link)
Keep in mind this is the end of the political career of Mitch McConnell regardless of the 2022 election outcome. I doubt there’s anything that will shift McConnell’s position, he’s been doing this stuff for years; but only recently did more people wake up to it.
The last federal budget passed under regular order was signed into law in September of 2007 for fiscal year 2008. Everything after that has been a series of continuing resolutions, omnibus spending, baseline budget expansions and debt ceiling increases. There has never been a full budget process worked through in the past 14 years.

Biden wasn’t in the Senate for 36 years for nothing, I figure.
