- CamperBob2 1y agoAre you sure that's how it works, or is that just what somebody told you? In the latter case, you've been lied to, and you need to go back to that person and ask them why they did that.
- jandrewrogers 1y agoDon't pretend ignorance, it is unbecoming and dishonest. You know how the process works. For historical reasons it requires 60 votes in the Senate for all intents and purposes to re-open the government, which the Republicans don't have. I've never been a Republican but the line of argument you are pursuing is gross no matter who does it. Have some self-respect.
- CamperBob2 1y agoYou'll have no problem citing a source for those "historical reasons," then. Correct?
- jandrewrogers 1y agoI've been a Federal employee (multiple times) through prior shutdowns and have worked in Washington DC off and on over decades. I don't have much time for low-effort political rage bait from people that have no willingness to engage with reality. Your ignorance of how Federal politics works is not my problem. Plenty of other ways you could learn if you were actually interested.
