Republican senators are growing increasingly alarmed at Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) inability to pass spending legislation over the staunch opposition of a small group of conservative rebels, and fear a government shutdown may be days away.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), who’s had to deal with the political fallout of government shutdowns in 1995-96, 2013 and 2018-19, warned Republican lawmakers on the other side of the Capitol on Tuesday that shutdowns are “a loser for Republicans, politically.”
McConnell made his comments after House Republican leaders canceled a key procedural vote on a stopgap funding measure that was scheduled for 2:30 pm Tuesday amid opposition from disgruntled conservatives.
he’s not really trying to explain politics to these chimps
Hey! Don’t insult chimps they are smart social creatures. Unlike this pack of degenerates.
chimps are actually pretty nasty, and natural killers… they’re not as ideological about their hostility toward their own kind in the wild, as their counterparts in the Chimpublican Party in Congress are toward us…
