NO DEAL! Shut it down. They have total control and they need total responsibility for this mess. They own it. I do not want to see ONE Dem attempting to work with them like things are business as normal, while the Republicans burn it all down anyway. I’m done being the grownups in the room. Fuck that noise. Dems need to walk away and start repeating like a mantra who’s in charge and who is supposed to be governing and who is responsible for this shit show. Republicans have NO plan to govern and America needs to see that.

It pains me to say this, but no help should be given to the House GOP. I loathe a government shutdown because of the people it will hurt. Members of the U.,S. Coast Guard fall under the authority of Homeland Security and, as such, will receive no paychecks during a shutdown. Nor will many other federal employees.

Bit it's vital that the Republicans own this. And Americans will understand who is responsible. Fox "news" viewers notwithstanding.
