JustinTrudeau 2,419 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Links to articles: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/washington-edges-closer-government-shutdown-n837941 and https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/01/16/how-would-government-shutdown-affect-you/1036551001/ Funding to keep the federal lights on will run out at midnight on Friday unless Congress passes a new spending bill and President Trump signs it into law. If negotiations collapse, most federal agencies would close and hundreds of thousands government workers would be furloughed. But not every part of the government would shutter. Here we go again, let's see if the genius and his party can avoid a government shut-down I fell down the stairs once as an actor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Pretty Sure Republicans decided during the Obama administration that shut downs are much better for them than compromise, so good luck to all the furlough recipients 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathetic. That's one of the bigger surprises of this presidential term. I was so sure that many more bills would pass and there would be less chaos. This is their golden opportunity and yet, they can't use it efficiently. I fell down the stairs once as an actor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is leading and influencing his party with some thinking that isnt traditional of Republicans Many individual members are not swayed and so stuff is hard to pass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
