Republicans will crash the economy then.
🤷‍♀️
I need to get my passport application in since these idiots are going to shut down the government until the next election >

Be quick... The passport office took months to recover last time it was shut down! >

They're just holding our economy hostage :/ >

At this point I'm ready for them to just let it collapse.  Tired of "being the adults in the room" and passing whatever bullshit they want whenever they throw a tantrum.  Like when they did this with Obama and got the NDAA passed with the provision to allow indefinite detention of American citizens and a budget increase for the military.  They've got no intention of helping normal folks or governing in the slightest anyway.
The right does this every chance they get.  Just threatening to take their ball and go home.  Fine, fuck'em, call the bluff. >

The right can't win by democracy (they're outnumbered by tens of millions). So they resort to gerrymandering and voter suppression to get a majority in congress despite having fewer votes. And even with all that, they still can't get anything passed, so they have to take hostages like this to force democrats to vote with them >

The Republicans did receive more votes nationally last election, TBF. >

What do you think voter suppression is? 
It is designed to reduce the number of votes from the opposing party. For instance in my district in Texas, they reduced voting sites (in a primarily Dem district) from around 15 to 2. This makes it a hardship to vote if you have a regular job and cant stand in like for hours during the day. 
Republicans at "work" >

Well with coordinated voter suppression efforts across many states, I think the disenfranchising of 3 million voters seems likely. >

So, the GOP is good wracking up debt (Trump tax cuts anyone?), but then refuses pay for it.  In other words they are untrustworthy dead beats. 
Joe Biden as been at this much longer than they have - I'm quite sure he knows how to play chicken with these clowns. >

it would be a waste of time, but would make the point;  Biden needs to demand Trump tax cuts are rolled back before a debt ceiling vote could be held. >

So totally agree!!!! >

Fuck my 401K right!? Republicans have some grandstanding to do. >

Scott’s Tots was better run than the GOP >

The GOP closed the war memorials last time. >

Great inconvenience....
Chris Christie had a budget dispute in NJ years ago... Closed the state parks.  Then got widely publicized sitting on a beach chair in a state park.  
Wait for the hypocrisy.. it'll be everywhere >

I’m not even from NJ and I was pissed about that. I used to spend one of my days off in the summer at High Point State park, just whaling it on the grass by the “beach”, and he just ruined my vibe completely. I haven’t even been back since those shut downs happened and that was years ago.
