Government Shutdown Clown Show

[flogger]

It's hard to believe the Jerkoffs in Washington let this even come close to happening. They are way too involved in the political infighting to worry about the big picture.
So, they pass a 45-day funding extension. 45 days to pull their heads out of their asses?

I found this chart online, interesting.

They way all sides are acting. I'd be surprised if anyone shows up to vote, Nov 24'

Hey, it’s not like anyone pulled a fire alarm or something……

Both parties own this asshattery. I would gladly support a Constitutional amendment that Congress shall not leave the building, nor the President leave the Whitehouse, until a full budget is passed and signed once 30 September rolls around.

Political theater.

"I will hold my breath, stomp my feet, AND the widows and orphans, poor Military Families and Veterans will starve to death UNLESS you let me spend like a drunken sailor FOREVER.


Fuck these people. I would gladly chip in for tar and feathers because that is what is needed.

Truth.

If you're unarmed, you are a victim.

I'll see you and raise.

24 hours to pass a resolution or they will be forced to vacate their position and lifetime ban from holding any political office.

Our system was designed to make it hard for shit to pass. Good. For once they're not spending (that much) money, even if for just a while.

Unfortunately, it's all for show. Once they have all their pet projects funded, ensuring their millions upon retirement (for those that even bother) they'll pass full funding.

The crisis is over! (For 45 days)

The U.S. Senate approved a stopgap spending measure to avert a government shutdown with just three hours to spare in a Saturday night vote. The final vote was 88-9.

It’s all a giant joke. “Shut down” my ass. Everyone gets paid for the days they were shut down once they get back to work. It’s paid days off.
