So basically it is prostitution of the constitution and they can't agree on a price! It is good to be king!

Ripley has gas and no federal aid. Nothing new.

If the Dems want to hold everything hostage 'cuz DACA, maybe the Senate should change their rules back to a simple majority (sometimes referred to as the 'nuclear option'). Just ram it through and tell the Dems "elections have consequences and you lost".

I was just contemplating the irony....

Numerous private sector wage increases (Walmart and others) and the Federal gov't is shut down.

[Zundfolge]

So how do we get this shutdown thing to become permanent?

And let the public know that they heard the outcry's over the government shutdown and did what it took to fix the problem.

The really shitty part is these asshole politicians directly responsible for this still get paid during a shutdown.

F* that. Cut their pay off. In fact, there should be a penalty assessed against their pay for not having a working budget passed on time.

Needs to be mandatory that NOBODY including Congress gets paid, during a government shutdown. I wonder how often we would shut down then?
