McConnell says he won't take up gun bill unless Trump says he will sign it

Source: CNN

Who the fuck does Mitch McConnell serve? The People of Kentucky and the United States or the orange piece of shit? In the wake of 4 horrible mass shootings in a month's time, Moscow Mitch REFUSES to listen to the people affected by continuous gun violence.

Rise up, people in Kentucky and DEMAND ACTION!

Days after a West Texas mass shooting that killed at least seven people, the Kentucky Republican said on "The Hugh Hewitt Show" he expects to get an answer from the Trump administration within the next week on what, if anything, it is prepared to support.

"If the President is in favor of a number of things that he has discussed openly and publicly, and I know that if we pass it, it will become law, I'll put it on the floor," McConnell said on the radio show.

Sadly, he will defer to Putin's wishes once again.

6. In other words, Moscow Mitch is a one-senator block that can't be overridden.

Our system is broken if one senator can block legislation that is passed in the house from even being considered or voted upon in the senate. It nullifies the entire concept of a presidential veto which can be overridden. This is little different from South Africa in its apartheid days.

of government, equal to the president? Sucking up to Trump might be a new job requirement for Republicans, but McConnell needs to do his own damn job.
