Democrats are as retarded as one can get.

Fun fact: ice doesn’t get paid during a federal shutdown.

They’re not stupid, they just found a loophole that lets the minority party prevent the majority party from doing anything and are exploiting it.

…but they’re legally still required to work. Therefore, ICE agents are technically slaves now.

Turnabout is fair play.

It's all a stupid show, we haven't balanced a budget in decades. Assholes the lot of them.

Republicans control every branch of government. Democrats showed up to Congress to negotiate, and the Republicans did not even show up. Sorry, but you can't blame the Dems.

I really love this feature of the American government, where it can not only be shut down due to inter-party fighting, but the parties are arguably incentivised to use brinkmanship around the shutdowns to advance their own policies.

I don't know, on paper it's actually a very nice idea that tries to force bipartisan co-operation, but in these times of highly divided politics it seems to cause a lot of trouble.

It would be cooler if it forced a snap election if the government shuts down.

They never mean anything in the end either! It's just a show put on for public amusement. I stopped paying attention to them years ago.

I wish Mitt Romney would run for president again. He’s the only sane republican with traditional Mormon values I agree with.

It's dumb the government can even be shut down. Current funding levels should kick in automatically if no new spending deal can be reached.
