 I just watched whining Kevin McCarthy try and blame Joe Biden for the looming government shutdown all because McCarthy cannot control his own majority to vote for a bipartisan bill that will pass the Senate and go to the President for signature.

What McCarthy “forgot” to mention is that Biden met him July and reached an agreement that would have, I believe, kept the government open until the end of the year. It’s not Biden's fault that McCarthy can't do his own job.
