    Finally Democrats blink and decide to help the people.
    They were not sure who would get the blame for the shutdown so they didn't want to take the risk
    Another big win for McCarthy

    Democrats save the day because republicans can’t govern.

    McCarthy so impotent he can’t even get his own party to save the government, he needs democrats.

    Silly goose. You came in at the end of the conversation without knowing the context of the statement. Rather typical for you.

    Of course I’m not “butt hurt.” It’s stupid to shut down the government. Thanks to democrats we don’t have to be stupid.

    the best part of republicans controlling the house, is you know nothing will get done.

  8. I think that's probably true. I have over half the forum on ignore and I ignore much of what I can see so some threads are well under way before I see them.

    GUILTY AS CHARGED.

    Nevertheless, my assertion that you would like/wanted to see the pubs set themselves up so that you could use a shutdown to hang around their neck for political purposes stands. Sorry that did not work out for ya. Yet anyway.

  10. Takes five minutes for the capitol police to declare that they have video of the fire alarm incident.

    On the other hand, we are told that video of cocaine being dropped in a cubby hole over at the west wing or thereabouts cannot be retrieved in this lifetime.
