All to get the talking points that the donor class, grateful for the tax cuts, will amply with dark monied megaphones. And yet it's still a minority that blame the Republicans. Which means even less when you realize that 2% of the population actually knows what a "government shutdown" actually is thanks to decades of lies, misinformation, and exaggeration.

Chanti doesn’t it wear you down after awhile; telling yourself lies, knowing they’re lies and believing the lies? Can you tell me wtf rushing a deal to legalize illegal immigrants has to do with the Democrats responsibility to fund the government?

There hasn't been a shutdown with anyone in full control, but only because the shutdown as it exists today is a relatively recent phenomenon. Jimmy Carter had funding gaps three times before it was decided that, you know, you can't keep everything going without agreement on how to pay for it.

How can a governing party hold power over all branches of government yet still fail to prevent a shutdown?
Ruaumoko said: » How can a governing party hold power over all branches of government yet still fail to prevent a shutdown? By not working on a budget, at all. They haven't even drawn up the framework, and it expired in September. 2017 was a wasted year for this Congress, they didn't actually do anything they were supposed to. I mean their only plan this whole month is to pass a CR, they aren't actually working on a budget. Ruaumoko said: » How can a governing party hold power over all branches of government yet still fail to prevent a shutdown? Is this a serious question? All it takes is a filibuster from from the minority part and boom, shutdown achieved.
