WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said on Wednesday the Senate will not consider bills Democrats plan to vote on in the House on Thursday
that would end the government shutdown but not include President Donald Trump’s demand for $5 billion for a border wall.
“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 on the Senate floor.
Boy he can't succumb to the natural ageing process fast enough...
Spineless fucking prick
What will the Senate spend it's time on, you fucking lich?
Confirming Trump's loony judge picks, he's already over 100
he seems to get more ghoulish in every photo, at this point he looks like a triumph of World War 1-era facial reconstruction
It's almost as if he doesn't want to win re-election next year...

the Cancer of America.
the hell it won't. He's going to get one bill from the house.
Then hang him from the peak of the Capitol building. He is openly stating he is going actively harm the country and it's people and government. He is plainly stating he is an enemy to the nation and must be dealt with to the fullest extent.
Can we pass a bill that makes Mitch McConnell illegal.
The Republican Party is now holding 25% of the nation's federal employees and all of the services they provide hostage to get money for the wall Mexico was supposed to be made to pay for.
The Obama years made the Republican Party lose all sense of how to govern, they only know how to destroy and obstruct, just like we see here.
Fucking die already, you treason-enabling rat fuck bastard.
Let's hope the democrats call attention to it in all the right ways. The GOP dies this year.
They've gotten away with this shit before, they'll get away with it again.
A prominent pastor just said any evangelical who doesn't support Trump is immoral, in the same speech he shat on poor people.
The very culture of the American right wing and the religious right is disgusting. Uncivilized savages, the lot of them.
God, my parents didn't even VOTE for Trump, let alone support him after he got elected. But then, they don't believe that unbelievers are sent to eternal torment either, so they're already heretics to the majority of conservative evangelicals.
Where was this
Whatever happened to not having any other idols before God? By the way the right wing is acting, you would think they view Trump as equal to or above God himself.
And, no, that's not just hyperbole - go look up that CNN Panel with Trump voters on YouTube, where one Trump supporter literally says he trusts Trump over Jesus.
Didn't the Senate recently pass a bill 100-0 about ending the shutdown, but Trump refused? They should just continue to put it up for vote. Fuck the GOP in the Senate. If this is the hill you want to die on, I can't wait for the ads about it, and I hate political ads.
I do feel a little bad for any of the GOP congressmen/women that don't want this to happen but now are stuck with this turtle fuck's decision
He's likely trying to set a precedent for the next two years with "either the democrats do what we want or else suffer the consequences" but whether or not it goes the way he wants it to remains to be seen.
The GOP is in for one rude awakening. With the House controlled by Democrats, they aren't getting any better deals than the one they already turned down. They're holding hundreds of thousands of people's salaries hostage over a wall that's just going to be a burden to maintain and actively harmful to the environment. Throw in that it's not effective at it's intended purpose, and the only people that will buy their "b-b-b-but border security, why won't these meanie dems negotiate" are the people on the far right who were already behind them anyway. Not a great way to start 2019.
In terms of political maneuvering, this is a mistake. Trump has been trying (not very successfully, I don't think) to shift blame for the shutdown to Democrats. It wouldn't have been so hard if he didn't take explicit blame for it on camera because of his big, stupid mouth. Now what this looks like is Democrats trying to end it and Republicans keep it going. The narrative is going to get worse for the GOP.
the gop never had any sense on how to govern.
Letting GOP control anything is like giving your 5 year old cheeto-fingered brother your game controller and he has no idea how to play the game but he bitched at your mom long enough that she forced you to let him play. And now you can only watch the shitshow beyond your control.
