All he has to do to be the most reasonable Republican in the room is just stand there and not say anything.
As of late, he seems very good at that
The Cult of Reagan and limitless corruption are not okay with the Cult of Trump’s “burn it all to the ground” approach. Shutdowns hurt profit margins both long and short term.
Schumer does most of the talking. McConnell just kinda...stares.
Little feller is still trying to reboot. You can see the spinning circles in his eyes.
Shutdown? Is that what had been happening to McConnell, frequent shutdowns?
Hah. Gottem.
Look man, someone has to write shit for the tonight show to steal
No, just reboots. Still hoping we get that shutdown after all 🤞
Doesn't this happen every year, like some sort of dysfunctional system clock?
Only when Republicans control the House.
We need to do away with the fucking Senate.
While I generally agree, in this instance, the Senate is being the voice of reason.
