Again, Mitch McConnell is the Majority Leader of the Senate. He is the leader of the Senate and he represents the state (commonwealth) of Kentucky. He along with Rand Paul are the two roadblocks to opening the U.S. government.
We can thank Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL), Rep. Johana Hayes (D-CT), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for getting people to focus their outrage at the incompetent turtle.
I love women of color who continue to respond to these bigots.
#WHERESMITCH is trending on social media.
McConnell has been absent in getting the government open. He has the potential to open up the government but refuses to do so.
He's still placing the blame on the Democrats.
Always the dirty politician, McConnell will find some way to undermine the Democrats by doing the ridiculous culture war.
The right was trying to waste their time going after Tlaib for having a picture with a guy who opposes Israeli occupation. The right was trying to slam Ocasio-Cortez for saying "run train" on critics. The right is calling Tlaib and Omar anti-Semitic because they support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. This movement is boycotting Israel. They want the country to be held accountable for war crimes, racism, ignoring UN rules about building settlements in the West Bank, and returning land back to the Palestinian people.
Yet, we are seeing millions of Americans affected by the government shutdown.
Republicans won't open up the government. Too busy finding a shiny coin to distract Americans with.
Donald J. Trump will make an announcement on Saturday. I am assuming that he will declare a national emergency and use military funds to build this border wall. Expect that to be a court challenge.
