The first agreement should be that Congress and the POTUS forfeit their salaries if there is ever a Government shut down.
Ms Sanders made the claim in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), saying it was the reason Mr Trump was in office. God put Commander in Chief Donald Trump as president of the United States.. all the angels are protecting Commander in Chief Donald Trump.
Simple solution, amend so that it is no longer required for the President to sign legislation involving the budget. Or introduce a law that allows you to pass emergency budgets when the President refuses to sign.
FoxNews - again senatemajldr tries to play both sides of the fence.. He needs to be REMOVED... He is a RINO having no business in conservative party. Continues to UNDERMINE! shutdown is a tool that no one wants to use but when necessary so be it! seanhannity marklevinshow
Very rich, coming from the man who could have cut this one short after 3 days.
He is the archetype alligator in the swamp. Get this reptile and others like him out of here!
How about we limit the minority leader’s authority to boycott budgets passed by simple majority? That would stop shutdowns right there.
Pitter patter lets get at her
i hope they dont get payed but i know they do
Not surprising. Hes taking away one of Trumps weapons, just like he wont apply the nuclear vote to the senate. But he says hes a republican.
Needs to be recalled/impeached himself
Time for change McConnell is the Pelosi version for the GOP they both love power .
Them tell him to get it together
How come McConnell supported the shut down
McConnell = Hypocrit
As he sells us out to Russia - someone arrest this man and his drug dealing wife.
Well he’s responsible too for the shutdown last as long as I did by blocking the vote! Here’s another idea Mitch: resign!
Yet he helped trump keep it closed. Now he wants to protect what happens when Dems take the presidency.
Pretty hard nothing.. how about impossible.....
Oligarchy Deripaska and Vekselberg ordering McCrook around.
But he wouldn’t push bills passed by the House of Representatives. I’m just simply dumbfounded by a case of do as I say not as I do. Just disappointed, seriously disappointed
Well I don't like it when the government shuts down and the dems take a vacation in Porto Rica and still get a paycheck.
Mitch should own part of the shutdown since he wouldn’t allow a vote
As long as there are multiple tier plans (politicians having a different plan then other Legal Americans) Medicare for all is just another way for democrats to raise taxes, kill the middle class, create a two class society and redistribute wealth from the middle class.
Where is Judge Ginsberg?👓
Great. Now, can we create a barrier that posts danger signs for people going into unknown land? And signs to safe points of entry? Safety first? Anyone listening?
Then why in the heck did you do NOTHING for 35 days. SenateGOP
So your saying the Senate Majority Leader is a lot like a shutdown. sucksathisjob
Liar!liar!liar!
Maybe u need to check with Rump who runs the Senate for u!
Possible legislation? Lyin Mitch at it again!
Then do your job and secure that Southern border and QUIT WASTING our taxpayer money!👹
In a way, I think 💭 that’s a stupid idea.
How about passing one single budget rather than a dozen piecemeal sections, that used to be a normal practice at one time
I like what he had to say, particularly his admission that shutdowns are a sign of dysfunction. I am also suspicious of his reason for saying it.
So you can just stay the same but the next shut down it should be in legislation that it's the politicians that lose their paychecks and not the government servants
shut down of government is wrong !!!!
Smartest thing he’s said in years. But where was he a few weeks ago? He was hiding out of cowardice and refusal to advise Trump on this belief.
Bullshit. All you had to do was allow the Senate to override trump's failure to sign a bill in December and keep government open. This is on you and trump and no one else.
McConnell is waking up to what is going on in the White House
I hope McConnell is serious. He has to make up to America for his recent betrayal in allowing the shut down to continue. KY should fire him.
Meanwhile Trump be like...
Keep government open and make people pay for it and there’s nothing you can do about it ever! Muahahabaha
He lies
Hahahahaha!! Trying to stay above water now!! 🙄🙄🙄
You don’t like shutdowns so why do them at all.
Mitch already showed us what he thinks of shutdowns. His actions speak louder than his bullshit.
agree
I like it. Looks like the Senators are “trying” to grow back some of that spine Trump ripped from them ages ago.
He only likes shutdowns against black presidents.
Stop talking and do it. Do it today.
So Russia's other puppet speaks something positive. Problem is, Putin wants our nation incapacitated and Trump is doing his best to do that - and Mickey here won't do anything because he's received so much money from Putin he won't be able to run again without it.
The air traffic controllers and TSA can prevent another shutdown by letting Trump know that they will not report to work during a shutdown.
I get it you’re going to pass a law requiring Congress to do their job.
Tell the president this.Face to face
Those are firm statements that say nothing.
Well, if he doesn’t like it, then we really must not do it again 😂😂😂
senatemajldr SpeakerPelosi Yes! Thank you for considering this. sendavidperdue JohnnyIsakson I am a constituent and I whole-heartedly endorse this. The greatest country in the world should be able to keep the lights on.
So here is what we r going to do Skippy! Resolve the BS, or Congress pay is halted! The Tax-Payers pay YOU!! Do your damn job!
Where is your wife Mitch? Why haven't we heard from her after all she's allegedly the Secretary of Transportation you would think with air traffic controllers calling out she'd be somewhere to be found.
He could have ended the last one early on and chose not to allow a vote. I don't think he has a lot of credibility with Americans these days.
McConnell is not being a leader, he is being Trump’s puppet.
Why aren’t you asking why he did it then? Why did he approve it for so long? He could have ended it and he didn’t do that either until people raised hell. Now he’s back peddling. Call him on it!!!!
He doesn’t like shutdowns, but when in a unique position with power to prevent then end the last one, Mitch chose to stifle the Senate and sit on the sidelines, being a good Trump lackey.
McConnell is a complete bullshit artist. He alone, aside from idiot Trump, had the power to end the shutdown, he did NOTHING. Let's investigate Mitch's Russian money. He's compromised. And he's a liar. He'll never vote to disallow shutdowns. Ever.
Spoken like a true......politician....
I don’t think the people of your state voted you in to not be around when the government gets shut down instead of doing something about it like your job hiding isn’t part of your job description
Trump even broke shutdowns.
A little too late turtle and stop trying to turn a phrase. Your history and sad tactics prior to this Admin are documented in other words, 'Bruh, you slip is showing and it isn't a good look.'
Just do it! No shut-downs!
Really well you didn’t do too much about the recent one unless you count going into hiding
Crawl back under your rock. You have no leadership talents at all senatemajldr as demonstrated by your lack of it over the TrumpShutdown
We could stop spending more than we have. That would probably help us not run out of money...
Please senatemajldr loves shutdowns the way Trump love $130k porn stars.
Most intelligent thing he has ever said
Only took him a month to figure that out.
You put this on your twitter feed knowing that he is absolutely lying, am I correct? Yeah, I am. Shameful. Stop spreading his lies and propaganda.
Holy crap, he speaks (and makes sense). Progress.
Untrue Republicans listen to trump, not the American taxpayers.
Congress is not doing it's job. Fire the whole lot. Set an example. No more shutdowns!
What about your Russian $$$$$$$ & sanctions?
'pretty hard' ... how bout never
No! Govt shutdowns need to occur it brings people back to their senses. It’s like spankings for adults.
He grew a pair?
A man as solid as a slinky who’s resolve is as strong as a popsicle stick.
Considering McConnell is the the co-owner of the last shutdown, I'm guessing the legislation he has in mind will only allow shutdowns that can be blamed on the Democrats.
He could’ve stopped the shut down.
Mitch dude start doing your job already! WE the PEOPLE (like the air traffic controllers) won't let TRUMP do this again LOL so the USA PEOPLE RULE!
Mitch McConnell, having a rare moment of lucidity. . .
Stop thinking Mitch and DO! All the pompous rhetoric from both sides about solutions is sickening. All blow and no go is not productive. Grow a pair, be a man and stand up for the people paying your salary.
Ban the use of government funding bills to force an agenda on congress by the president. Simple fix.
'He don't like shutdowns' but he and Trump are the ones who caused the longest one in US History! What a joke....
Hope he pushes just as hard at getting the laws in the books on immigration enforced (instead of ignored like they are today 😂) as he is this wall or it’s going to be a colossal waste of time and money.
Which means a shutdown could happen at any time. He’s not going to give up the one weapon he can use to attack Democrats with and later blame them for the damage a shutdown causes. Hoping that by 2020 Americans will have forgotten that Republicans are responsible for this one.
Blah blah blah.
How about no pay for senate or Congress for no agreements during a national security crisis.
Sounds good senator! All it does is punish us regular folks. We can’t keep having this! And I’m a registered Republican!!
THE WAY TO PREVENT SHUT DOWNS IS TO SHUT DOWN THE REPUBLICON PARTY. TO MANY CRAZY PEOPLE
Or you could just do your damn job and overide the Pretender-In-Chief's veto. That would work too.
You left the government closed for such a long time that it’s really hard to believe this line.
He had every opportunity to end the last one and disappeared. Time for him to be replaced. He's a bad leader and a traitor to his country.
Spineless man with Zero INTEGRITY.
Yet for over a month McConnell refused to vote on anything that wouldn't have trump's approval. Do not reelect trump or his lap dogs.
I know a great idea no pay for the politicians until it’s over lol .....
Shut Downs work Very Well.
Gosh , if only senatemajldr was in a position to have ended the shutdown...🤔
Looks like his master didn’t give him treat this morning and feeling grumpy
Keep the government open AND BUILD THE WALL senatemajldr !!
mitch McConnell convince me that you're still useful.
Here’s an idea , PASS A DAMN BUDGET FOR A CHANGE .
Has McConnell 'seen the light'?
How about legislation (I guess a Constitutional Amendment?) stating that members of Congress, Senators, Governors and the West Wing get no pay or expenses during a shutdown and that they also ding get it backdated when shutdown ends? Perhaps they'll be more motivated then?
May I introduce to yourself... about...40 days ago... you are NOT gonna like him
Shutdowns have hurt The Employes. Pelosi has hurt American Government Families. She's so Vain . She is supposed to work for, not against Americans.
If the government shut down again no politicians and the president should get paid
McConnell was supporting Trump border crisis since day one. Republicans are accountable for the 11 billions deficit and Trump fiasco.
Thank you Sen. McConnell. I am sincerely delighted to hear that you don't think government shutdowns work & that you are willing to take action to curtail political incentive to do so. (Now I can stop fecetiously mumbling under my breath 'King McConnell'.) senatemajldr tictoc
HouseGOP HouseDemocrats Ya, Ol'Mitch is right! govtshutdown isn't good for anyone and wouldn't happen at all if you all were truly the representatives your supposed to be. We need true servants to lead us. leadbyexample stopmilkingthepeople
Am wondering what kept McConnell completely absent and also actively objecting, a number of times, from ending the longest shutdown ever? Just asking.
Thank you Senator McConnell. I am sincerely delighted to hear that you don't think government shutdowns work and that you are willing to take action to curtail political incentives to do so. (Now I can stop fecetiously mumbling under my breath 'King McConnell'.) senatemajldr
ALL you 'SO CALLED REPUBLICANS' SHOULD be WORKING with AMERICAS GREAT PRESIDENT. WHY does HE have to MAGA & KAG 'ALL BY HIMSELF DO what YOU were elected to DO. UNITED WE STAND, ' DIVIDED 'WE' FALL. BAND TOGETHER with OUR PRESIDENT.
It’s about time you do something.
senatemajldr then do something about it! No President should hold his people hostage to get what he wants. This sets a bad precedent. It needs to be stopped.
realDonaldTrump
Don’t trust ANYTHING that McConnell says....
You just had one...
Says the man that blocked 4 votes to open the government.
McConnell just needs say no to Trump!
Yeah, it’s called decoupling the wall idea from literally every other piece of legislation or government funding bill.
GOP HouseGOP real easy it's called 25thamendment! impeach trump potus realDonaldTrump potus
Find your spine ... that will solve the problem
I don't care what his words are will wait to see his actions. So far his actions support only oligarchs not Americans
Finally they should learn lessons
Then why did u let it continue?!! senatemajldr Because your DonaldTrump toliet paper GOPComplicitTraitors resign TrumpRussia
Its a bit late Mitch but sure
508gloryFelix Pretty hard to occur? Unless you say so FU
Shut up senatemajldr just SHUT UP. We're so tired of you.
Get it done senatemajldr SpeakerPelosi
Says the man who could have ended this one very early. He is a joke.
Need to start doing your JOB and getting behind our President!
That would be a great undertaking cos like Trump's shut down was based purely on MALICE.
Yeah right. How much money for Dump's vanity wall is he gonna try to hide in that legislation? I wouldn't trust him with a slice of cheese.
Here is an idea. DONT BLOCK A VOTE!!!!
He is the reason behind the last shutdown, him and Trump. senatemajldr Tell the President that his idea of a wall is NOT border security so we can get on with life would be a great place to start if you want to be believable.
Says Addison, fresh off his integral role in the longest shutdown in US history. What a self-serving, vacuous man. SenMajLdr SenFeinstein SenSchumer KamalaHarris
Retire? Government officials should have an age limit.
Not so convincing.
Then why did he back Trump on the last shutdown?
Does the Senator realize that he could have voted on a bill to open the Govt instead of voting it down or refusing to allow a vote?
Is he planning on running for POTUS next? Sounds like an election lie.
Me neither I don’t like shut downs either you don’t get nothing done it’s a waste of time and you don’t want to waste time it’s precious. senatemajldr GOPLeader GOPChairwoman GOP
McConnell should get an Academy Award for his performance in the last shutdown. Cause man, he really came across as liking the heck out of it. McConnellResign
He is a lying bigot who is not to be trusted. He could have ended it, if he wanted to. Kentucky deserves so much better than this crooked, hateful old man!
Term limits!!! Please!!!!!!!
We neither I don’t like shut downs either you don’t get nothing done it’s a waste of time and you don’t want to waste time it’s precious.
Americans don’t like blackmail; nor should our elected representatives.
The recently discovered link between the Russian oil oligarch and the $3 mill MM got says it all. He’s a traitor to the American people and has been working for a foreign agent all along.
Open Is Not Strong Enough Language U Cowardly Weasel.Need To Grow Some Spines And Make This Legislation A Priority.For A Change DO Something For The American Ppl.
magnum1968 Close your big mouth M. Rino
BS! He prolonged the last one...?
Only if the shutdowns are by democrats. But heaven forbid McConnell go against trump's 'wishes'.
I’d be open for his old ass retiring. Not a chance he’s in touch with the folks that voted for him.
I say if the Government Shuts Down then Congress and Senate do not receive paychecks period ! And they all need a reduction in their Pay, let's say 40,000.00 a year should get them by. hell teachers do more for less and I know teachers work their asses off. AmericaFirst
Liar
Yah don't like shutdowns either. It's better for people, that are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, to sit down, negotiate, & find a solution to the problems that ail the people of the United States...realDonaldTrump senatemajldr FoxNews SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer
This will be good evidence for him in his defense when he is prosecuted for what he has done.
I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.
He's the reason why the Republicans are always back peddling. ASSHATS!! Quit being cowards!! Look what your president goes through!!! We need muscles!!!
Lmao
I’d like to remind you: You had that ability all along and you chose not to enforce it. You are a pawn and no longer have any authority in the voter’s eyes. We have seen your true colors and know your insecurities.
McConnell stated, 'I just have to check with Vlad, and I'll make an announcement tomorrow'
They only worked for Obamacare no biggie
Yes senatemajldr it was another example of GOPBetrayal 🐢
Did hell freeze over?👺 Do pigs fly? 🐷 This is the first I've ever agreed with McConnell. 🐢
?
How about Congress gets disbanded and new elections held if they cannot balancethebudget!
oh, really? Kentucky Fried Turtle is not to be believed
He looks sickly
love a senatemajldr runaround about government dysfunction as if he is not the senate majority leader and personally responsible for our current american hellscape.
He’s embarrassing!
After Mitch yelled “I object” about 10 times to all those bills Pelosi kept sending over to reopen the govt, he’s singing a different tune now. Wonder if the record unpopularity is finally affecting this snapper turtle?
.Tryin' to save his party?
Question is would he be saying this if Trump didn't cave?
Good
No pay for Congress, WH Sr. Staff, President, VP and anyone that is a party to any discussion of a shutdown.
McConnell does what Putin tells him
Lol yeah let’s trust the guy who’s rich from his Chinese wife’s money 👌
go fx your shell
