Senate rejects both parties' bills to avoid a shutdown, leaving next steps uncertain
While normally such a government shutdown is disastrous, with all the crazy ICE stuff and all the cuts to mandatory services it now it seems like the best course of action and I hope the democrats keep it up (fat chance of that)
I fully expect the spinless Democratic leadership to bail the fascist Republicans out yet again.
They already fucked up by even offering a compromised solution in my opinion. Why keep giving these incompetent fascist slack when they clearly want to Mike Pence themselves.
Does congress still get paid during a shutdown?
I genuinely don't know the answer to that question, but if the answer is "no," then I think we've uncovered a significant clue. Personally I feel like a huge part of the top Democrats' horrifying fecklessness on all of these type of issues is that, at the end of the day, they'll be fine, and you can sometime divine their priorities by seeing what does make them start sweating and working hard to avoid.
Lisa Murkowski is very concerned.
Agreed, a shutdown is necessary and the logical next step for a real opposition party.
Good point. If the National Guard no longer gets paid, how long will they continue to invade our cities?
I'm concerned that ICE would continue doing their shit simply for the love of the game.
