Mitch McConnell, the U.S. Senate Republican leader, said on Monday he would agree to a power-sharing agreement with Democrats, dropping demands that had held up the basic organization and daily work of the 50-50 chamber for days.
Democrat Chuck Schumer, now the majority leader thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris’ tie-breaking vote, and McConnell had been at odds over the Republican’s request that Democrats promise to protect the filibuster, which requires a 60-vote supermajority to advance most legislation.
Schumer has refused to guarantee the filibuster would stay. But in a statement, McConnell cited comments from moderate Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, who said they would not favor eliminating the filibuster.

Trent Lott lives.
I hate the Turtle.
That’s right Mitch, way to employ the policy of unconditional surrender. Too weak to stand up for your constituents. Too weak to stand up for yourself.
Mitch McConnell drops his demand that Dems agree not to nuke the legislative filibuster and agrees to rules resolution. But spins it to says he's satisfied with the public "assurances" of two Senate Dems — Manchin and Sinema — who in fact only reiterated their previous positions pic.twitter.com/qmkj9Qi8tH— John Kruzel (@johnkruzel) January 26, 2021

The GOP, like Fox, would really like to do the Faux outrage when in the minority.
In reality, they love Biden and the Camel
The Turdle is stranded on his back, flailing....
Wow - 2 whole Democrats is enough to convince him?
Schumer would’ve locked down for months.
Really - are there any MEN in the GOP besides Trump?
Wonder with what The Schmuckster offered /threatened The Amoeba McConnell?
Democrats surely know that presidents’ parties usually lose seats in mid-term elections so any filibuster removal will likely accrue to the Republican’s benefit starting in 2023.
It’s happened before with the judicial nominee filibuster removal.
He’s a traitor.
Turtles have a shell, Mitch ain’t even got a backbone
A Pubbie folds.
Water is wet.
Thank God they made double pinky promises with Turtle. All is well now.
Surrender monkeys at work again...
Turds don’t have shells or backbones, that’s why I call him Turdle.
The meme is not near as revoltingly repulsive as the original. Just concrete evidence they are rubbing all this crap in our faces.
