Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) didn’t mince words Wednesday when discussing the hurdles Washington faces in preventing a government shutdown next month.
“It’s a pretty big mess,” he said in Kentucky on Wednesday afternoon, before once again appearing to freeze while taking questions from reporters.
“The Speaker and the president reached an agreement which I supported in connection with raising the debt ceiling to set spending levels for next year,” he added.
“The House then turned around and passed spending levels that were below that level,” he said. “Without stating an opinion about that, that’s not going to be replicated in the Senate.”

Maybe the Turtle, Biden, Feinstein, Lindsey, Mad Maxine, and Pelosi can agree to retire in a package deal.
Raytheon, Blackrock, and Boeing have a severance plan, don’t they?
Wait, did the turtle come out of his coma?
The “old crow” is done and so is the mummy in the White House. However, one old timer seems Presidential compared to the two “has been” politicians.
Any guesses to the identity of the Presidential old timer?
It’s time to let another Republican Senator be Senate Minority Leader.
Mitch can be ‘wheeled in’ just like Fetterman for critical votes.
