However...McConnell, is not calling for a vote in the Senate? Apparently congress is ready to end the shutdown but McConnell won’t let them?
Dumbfuck?????
As usual the uneducated Elkdoofus leaves out all the good facts.
McConnell spoke after the Senate missed a deadline for passing legislation to prevent a shutdown and about two hours after the vote began.
"What we have just witnessed on the floor was a cynical decision by Senate Democrats to shove aside millions of Americans for the sake of irresponsible, political games," he said from the Senate floor.
McConnell did not lay out a back-up plan, but instead said the Senate will vote again on the House-passed bill, signaling Republicans and the White House believe they have an advantage and will seek to pile on blame for Democrats on the shutdown.
