Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) rejected the government funding resolution House Democrats introduced Monday, leaving the U.S. government on the verge of a shutdown.The current government funding package only lasts another nine days, so on Monday, Democrats released a draft resolution
But McConnell alleged the Democrats' proposal "shamefully leaves out key relief and support" for farmers via Commodity Credit Corp. funding — though CNN reports the Trump administration views those funds as "an unaccountable political slush fund."
Doesn't he need the government up to push through a supreme court justice? Why would dems leave out key relief and support for farmers? And I would have totally assumed it was the repubs who wanted there to be less spending on relief. What the fuck is going on?
The Supreme Court thing is the one I'm most interested about. I honestly don't know why Mitch would give two fucks about relief for farmers if it gave them less time to push a justice through.
If they know they can force the Dems to squirm and give away more pork without lifting a finger, lest they be blamed for shutting down the government before a vote for a supreme court justice and a mail-in election, why not? I'll eat my own balls if Pelosi lets the budget lapse. Further, doesn't this just draw them back to the table to up the ante on other extraneous demands?
If it's not that, maybe they're just controlling the clock for some imminent tidal wave.
