........we are already being reminded of Repub's inability to do basic governance.

With a possible government shutdown looming at day’s end, President-elect Donald J. Trump early Friday renewed his demand that Congress suspend the debt ceiling, intensifying a face-off with lawmakers from his own party as Republicans run short of options before a midnight deadline.

"Basic governance" = caving in to demoncrats at each and every contrived "emergency".

Hey, what the hell, shut it down. Only bad people would be affected.

Fuck 'em. And Merry Christmas, bad people!

What parts of the government would a shutdown affect?​

During a shutdown, the federal government would be unable to pay its millions of employees, including members of the military and reservists, just before the holidays.​

Hundreds of thousands of government workers could be furloughed, meaning they would temporarily stop going to work. During a shutdown in 2013, about 850,000 workers were furloughed. But even those who have to keep performing essential duties would not be paid for the duration of a shutdown.

Federal workers would receive retroactive pay when the government reopened, which was not always guaranteed until Congress passed a law after a shutdown in 2019.

Some functions of the government would continue, including the military and public safety, like air traffic control and the Transportation Security Administration. Every federal agency creates a “contingency plan” for how to operate during a shutdown and which employees are “excepted” from being furloughed.

The Defense Department, for example, would require active military personnel to continue to report for duty, and inpatient care and emergency outpatient care in Pentagon medical treatment facilities would continue during a shutdown, a defense official told NBC News.

Military retiree benefits would continue to be paid out because they come from a separate trust fund, not from congressional appropriations, but they could be slowed by a lack of personnel to process them, the official said.

Here's what happens if the government shuts down right before the holidays

The government is set to shut down at 12:01 a.m. Saturday. Congress currently has no plan to avoid it.

Only someone totally ignorant of the current issues, or a moron, would make such a comment.

The Leftists have loaded 1500 pages of pork in a bill that is intended to fund the government for a couple of months.

I'm guessing it's the latter option.

Todays Republicans are incapable of governing

After decades of just blocking legislation, they forgot what it takes to govern…….Compromise

Forget about compromising with Democrats they can’t even compromise within their own party.

There is a core of Republicans who want chaos.
Block all spending, shut down government, default on our debt, don’t care about who you harm

LOL. I guess you're saying that basic governance means spending 36 trillion dollars more than you have coming in.

Furloughed federal employees for the most part will not “stop going to work” because they already don’t “go to work.”

Absolute worst case scenario is that a paycheck will be delayed for a month for some federal employees. If they know they’re working for the government, they should know that they are not essential, so they should’ve planned for this. God knows salaries are high enough for them to save a little money aside.
