Full Title : McConnell Thumps Pelosi: The Senate Will Not Waste Its Time Considering a Democrat Bill Which the President Won’t Sign (VIDEO)
McConnell said the Senate won’t even consider legislation passed by the House Democrats this week because it won’t include border wall funding. “Democrats will have to get serious about border security so that a government funding agreement can pass the House, earn 60 votes in the Senate, and receive a presidential signature,” McConnell said, adding, “All three of these things are needed. One partisan vote in the House won’t solve anything.”
“As I’ve said consistently for the last two weeks, the Senate will not waste its time considering a Democratic bill which cannot pass this chamber and which the President will not sign,” McConnell said.
Ok Mitch, we’re watching you and waiting to see if you betray us once again.
Can we please add a moat of molten lava?
My guess is that folks like Sheldon Adelson, Peter Thiel , Carl Ichan have told Senator Mitch keep your caucus together or the GOP is done in 2020.
Before Pelosi even realizes it, it will be election time again, and then, she’ll be saying: “Holy shit! Time flies! We better give Trump HIS border WALL money”.
Depends on the election IMO. If trump loses by 10% in pop vote and 150+ in EVs yes, likely. If Trump wins again, which I think is likely? No freaking way.
Indeed
Whoa! What happened to Mitch? Did he suddenly grow a pair during the Christmas recess?
Pelosi and Chuck U. were talking $h!t after Trumps cabinet meeting. If they dont realize that they havent a leg to stand on, #45 is about to make them aware of it by beating them about the head and shoulders with it.
Why not?
Nothing the demonkkkRATs will propose over the next 2yrs, will be worth considering. Veto all of it.
I'm with you, except I want a REAL government shutdown, where the useless eaters starve and DC real estate values crash.
This one is way boring.
Who woke Mitch up?
Absolutely he did.
If any anti-Second-Amendment or other anti-rights riders get signed, the vote from voters will stop there.
Not sure if Mitch is up for election but this is why he has been hands-off so far.....he had no part in anything until it came out of the House and has not wasted time or effort on what he knows will not be valid...this is just the first he came right out and forcefully stated it....many here were pissed at him for being hands off but it was the right (non)move...
Just put the rattlesnakes from TX in the pit.
Get a life.
Mostly because Trump would make the democrat details and any add-on spending VERY publicly known, and that’d be real embarrassing.
After the posturing and the smokescreen of butt-covering political gestures are complete, the work of crafting a compromise can resume.
First things first in D.C.
McConnell will have to find his SPINE first. And he’s to Friendly with Schumer and Pelosi. Good reasons for term limits. Never should have been re-elected as Majority leader.
