      Nope, they want to shut it all down because they don’t think there should be a federal government.

      They’ll blame it on the Dems, but that’s not why they want it shutdown

      That may be their plan, but for the first time in my life it feels like nobody is buying that bullshit right now. We have news presenters and reporters actively laughing at Republican representatives when they try to swing the blame, and I feel the public at large understands exactly what’s happening.

        That is a fact, and I am fucking sick of liberals telling us “those districts are red anyway so we have to run right wing democrats there!!”

        And fuck Schumer in the goddamn neck for pushing that worthless fraud Amy McGrath
