Some people really don't understand this shutdown stuff.

Since math is racist, we can't expect them to understand 51<60.

You need new friends

Civics isn't being taught like it used to be.

My understanding is this is a CR and you need 60 for that, right?

Another reason to throw the filibuster in the trash for good

Technically,
Controlling both houses of Congress and the presidency is enough to pass whatever you want
You just have to get rid of the 60 vote rule in the Senate
The Constitution only requires simple majority in the house and senate to pass bills

Ive said this many times and always hear bullshite excuses, but the problem is that we the people need to elect better congressional representation. We are responsible putting those sorry pieces of shite in DC. That's a fact.
You might not like it, but there's no way around it.

I don’t understand why anyone cares about shutdown. It’s only 10% that shuts down, and they don’t stop anyone’s govt. checks. The worst part may be national parks closed. I think most can survive this.

You're absolutely right, of course, the problem is we won't agree on which ones are the problem. Everybody thinks their congressman walks on water and the other guys are the devil. Even throwing out all of them doesn't solve the problem, just brings in new issues.

Wait, you are in SC and think your congressman walks on water?

The filibuster is there for a reason, and ensures no one party can wield absolute control. You may want to question your own thinking. Would you want the Democrats to have complete control just because they own a simple majority?

Unfortunately, our best and brightest can be happy and successful without subjecting themselves and their family with all that bs

No, I see those that do. That's the point I'm making.

Hell no. Keep it. The last time it didn’t matter we got Obamacare.

I’ve never bought into the notion of being afraid of some future hypothetical at the expense of doing what’s right, right now. The Dems will do that very thing if they ever get 51-53, do you think the Dems won’t do the very thing you fear?

$1.5 Trillion for this shite
No thanks - shut it down and fire all non essential freeloading lazy DEI pieces of shite

Always respectfully correct your retarded Facebook friends. You will never change their mind, but you aren't speaking to them. You're speaking to the fence sitting retards reading the posts that might learn something.
