On Thursday, House Republicans were unable to get themselves together and agree to debate a military funding bill, to say nothing of a continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown. Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries held a press conference to make sure the message to the American people is clear: This will be the “unnecessary Republican shutdown of government.” This is an inherent problem with the Republican Party’s inability to govern.
We've seen this done before. The Republicans shut down the government, partially, twice in the 1990s. Why? Because they wanted to end Medicaid as we know it. Same group of people, different version, in 2013, they wanted President Obama to repeal his signature legislative accomplishment, the Affordable Care Act,
They shut the government down for 35 days. By the way, when the government shutdown began, Donald Trump was president. Republicans controlled the House and the Senate in December of 2018. They shut themselves down. That's how much it's in their DNA.
It's never going to happen righturdicans. You're never going to get your rightwing wishlist of bullshit. Not in the past. Not in the present. Not in the future. Not ever. In fact, we've already started the reversal process of the last 50 years, of rightwing bullshit. The only reason that's not going faster than it is now, is because of control of the Supreme Court. Just as soon as you lose that control, and you will. You're done.
