1. >”The major problem, one of the major problems, for there are several, with governing people is that of who you get to do it. Or, rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well known and much lamented fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made president should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.”

2. Can we start calling it what it is, the Republican Shutdown?

3. Happy government shutdown!

   Or is it merry government shutdown? I can never remember.

4. 14 days of Republican ineffectiveness on display.

5. This Trump shutdown is going to break records. He sure does like breaking records

6. Why would republicans close the government to protect Epsten’s pedophile buddies? Oh, right! Dump is a pedophile

7. What is the point. It can’t be about the epstein files, when released 0 will happen to old Dump. Raising ACA premiums will disproportionately effect red states. What’s the long con here

8. Happy “AZ Election is officially certified on the 14th” Day! Surely Mike Johnson will be HAPPY to swear in the representative since he said he would…right?!

9. When will ATC wise up and realize they could easily end this shutdown _today_ just like they did last time?

   You’re already not getting paid, and they’re already thinking of not backpaying you. You have absolutely nothing to lose from calling in sick en masse.

   JFC, no wonder the US is the way it is, their people have zero fight in them.
