It appears that GOP leaders might actually be completely unfit to be calling the shots in Washington. Everyone in America knows that the Republican Party has control of the White House, the Senate, and House of Representatives, yet there is still serious talk about an impending government shutdown. Earlier today, President Trump tweeted that America needed a “good shutdown” to fix the ailments in Washington. The people of this nation are considerably frustrated by the gridlock and inability of Republicans to make progress with matters like healthcare, the spending bill, tax reform, etc. Placing the blame on Democrats won’t work when Republicans have majority control.

Blah, blah, blah.
Shut it down in September.
The people are beyond understanding. The people want someone to shake things up.
Trump is EXACTLY the right person, to do so.
They might. But it seems just as likely that they are merely corrupt.
By the way.
Is this a blog pimp post?
I agree.
Will never happen as long as their is a 9th circuit. They will place an injunction against our president and Congress for shutting the government down. Just watch.
They’re corrupt, not incompetent.
Another Blog?
Why not just post straight from the DU?
So Donald Trump has 142 days to nail the pedophiles in Congress and get clean replacements. Also to nail the merely fiscally corrupt. The Republicans in Congress held Obama off to allow Trump this opportunity. That should count for something.
a good shutdown is like a good bowel movement
The blame game goes on. Yes, the republican congress and the senate are part of the problem.
Trump (even though he may not get a veto override) should prove where he stands and use one of those cases of pens he has and VETO the damn thing. At least than we know the where the truth lays.
Not might be - they are.
They are likely incompetent AND corrupt.
That actually might be closer to the truth then we wish to acknowledge.
No. Sessions needs to friendly Judge shop. Get contrary opinion and take up to SCOTUS.
In the meantime Trump needs to veto this crap right now.
That made me laugh, but what you say is very likely true, especially at this point in our history. A lot of indigestible matter needs to be removed, and quickly.
They are working for lobbyists and acting stupid is they only reasonable way to pretend they are not.
i dont think most of them are incompetent
that assumes they want to achieve the things they said they would do for us
instead, I think many of them (anyway) are just plain liars
lie to the American people/voters.... then get rich taking $$$$$$ from the corrupt Swamp in WashDC
Drain the Swamp, Donald! Please start draining the damned swamp!
rest:
A government shutdown is disgraceful and represents utter failure in Washington. The current events do not cast Republicans in the strongest or most favorable light. If Democrats had control of the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives, they would be passing all kinds of policies. There wouldn’t be any gridlock. Republicans have blamed Democrats for the failures in Washington for years, but now that they have the power, they are unable to get anything done. It is utterly deplorable and they all should be ashamed of themselves. Republicans look weak and ineffective.
Republicans in Washington need to work together and start making some serious progress. A good start would be repealing and replacing Obamacare like they vowed to do. Additionally, House and Senate Republicans should get the President’s tax reform policies passed. They will have a tremendous impact on working families and the economy. If a government shutdown occurs, it will serve as a serious political blow to Republicans and could affect the outcome of elections for years to come. It is high time for the GOP to get it together.
