[monkeyshine]

I’ve heard these words but what does it mean exactly? Needed to end filibuster or something?

[Nathan _in_Arkansas]

Good. Burn it down.

[Sarah Barracuda]

GOOD..I am sick and tired of funding this Govt, shut it down, PERMANENTLY

[mewzilla]

Government shutdown is an oxymoron.

Fedzilla doesn’t.

[Beowulf9]

Regarding what subject? Cloture on what?

[ClearCase_guy]

The "essential" people in government will work, and will get paid.
The "non-essential" people will be sent home with no pay (but this will ALWAYS turn into a paid vacation as their pay will be returned to them after they spend their time at home doing nothing).

The whole thing is a joke. Like everything else.

[Yogafist]

Wait, aren’t they supposed to do this closer to Christmas? How can they jerk the heart strings off over taxed Americans without a holiday to lean on?

[outofsalt]

The government shut us down for a year and a half!
Shut them down!

[PGR88]

People believe “government” (especially distant, remote Fed.gov) actually does anything to benefit them or help their lives.

Yes, a lot of sheeple get checks from Fed.gov and are kept on the government farm in this way.

But in terms of nearly anything else, from education to food safety to road building, Fed.gov adds zero value. People can regulate 95% of their lives themselves or with their local government and associations.

[rllngrk33]

Shut it down. Fed gov workers need a paid vacation from all the ‘work from home’ they’ve been doing for the last 18 months.

[FRinCanada2]

Looks like they only got 48 out of 60 needed. Lol

[ConservativeInPA]

Schumer voted against with the Republicans. Something smells here.

[Jim Robinson]

bump

[Sequoyah101]

Too big, expensive, complicated, corrupt, wasteful, intrusive, incompetent etc.

The sooner it is gone the better.

This giverment is only a legend in its own mind.

[Hildy]

It has to be done. At this point, we have NOTHING to lose.

[Fireone]

Where’s Feinstein?

[Viking2002]

Every time the government ‘closes’, it smells like a freshly mown lawn on a cool spring morning........

[newnhdad]

They will bring up a vote to end the filibuster by the end of the week.

[Eleutheria5]

Close it down.
