Red... Blue... doesn't matter. A bunch of spineless pussies fill congressional seats assuming if they go along with whatever bullshit is presented they'll keep getting their cushy salaries and excellent benefit packages.

Every one of the fuckers needs to be on unemployment.

The pseudo-fascists will always bow before the real fascists. Only one way to get rid of fascists.

Anyone have any info on yes voters visiting specific places in Illinois? I'd like to pay them a visit.

My initial reaction is anger, but hearing his reasoning, I fear that he might be correct.

Are you guys idiots? The republicans are already fucking up the government, cutting left and right without regard to laws and congress. So you want the democrats to shut the government down to protest ... what exactly? How does this help? This basically takes the narrative that fucked up government programs are now the D's fault when the R's are currently 100% in control.

Too many people here are like kids just wanting to break things. I'm pissed too, but shutting down the government would be the stupidest thing Schumer can do right now. The R's don't care if you shut down the government. They'd be happy. They'd then blame all the liberals for social programs that wouldn't be funded and broken things. If you want to negotiate and play hardball, find something they care about and use that. This aint it.

If a shutdown is so great for republicans, why are they voting against it?
