Government shutdown: How much longer can Mitch McConnell sit it out?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON - Congress' most powerful Republican has intentionally taken a back seat in the negotiations over how to end the government shutdown, even as it extends to a record three weeks with no resolution on the horizon.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has gotten Congress out of a lot of political jams in the past decade, including other shutdowns, fiscal cliffs and funding disputes.

But he's ceded control over the latest Washington stalemate to President Donald Trump, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y.

It's partly a reflection of the changing political dynamic now that Democrats control one chamber of Congress. But it may also say something about McConnell's evolving approach to dealing with an unpredictable president such as Trump, particularly in areas where they may disagree.

1. Some implied yesterday.

The Turtle is in a dark room with his head in his shell. He has to get out of that before he can do squat. He has been absent.

3. If you had listened to what Kamala Harris said last night

on Colbert,you know he could care less. As she said,McConnell plans out his actions and reactions in ten different steps.

McConnell will not give a rats ass about working people not getting their paychecks. He has fooled so many in Kentucky yet they keep voting for those who hurt them the most.
