This reminds me of that pie chart someone put out several years back where the majority of it was labeled Christian, and the remainder was labeled "other" with the Christian part saying "help! We're being oppressed"

That's how I feel about the US government shutdown right now.

But what do I know? I don't even live in that shithole country.

It's somebody else's fault. It always is.

I miss the Car Talk days of NPR, just on my commute to night class today I get to hear them make the statement "Democrats shut down the government."

God this shit is disheartening.

is anyone surprised, its meant to prevent the epstein files from being released by thenewly elected house member.

Americans are crazy

The Republicans shut down the government to prevent the release of the Epstein files.

I fucking hate bearing witness of a slow collapse of a world power from where I'm sitting at... It's been almost ten months since that fucking day.

This shutdown is just one of the steps towards what amounts to a mafia dictatorship by committee.

Dem's should amend their demands for congressional reversal of every Trump funding fascism attack. So far that includes $18B in NYC infrastructure funding and $8B in blue state renewable energy funding.

Dems/DNC should tell states to collect federal taxes and fund their states with them, instead of remitting them to US treasury. Or governors should invoke that right in support of ending GOP shutdown.

Took me too long to understand why my birthday was always so full of strife.

Turns out, it's the end of the fiscal year.

Just a form letter at this point.

Republicans do ________. 

Republicans blame everyone else for the negative results.

The party that practically trademarked government shutdowns now want you to believe they aren't responsible and would never want such a thing.

Even though we ordered our representatives not to negotiate and we ordered them not to show up when the Democrats all did. We really wanted to avoid this. Yeah right.

I kinda would have liked to see what would have happened if the Democrats said yes to all their demands.

Say it with me kids…. “sleepy joe!” Or something. I dunnno. Trump is a pedo btw.

Ok what the hell is going on? I know the American government has "shutdown" before but don't Trump's party have a majority in both houses of congress? What's in the way of them doing...whatever it is they want to do?
