Just a reminder for everyone feeling the pain: Members of the House of Representatives have collected over $20,000 in pay for being out of session and either sitting on their asses at home or in the case of Mike Johnson, self-righteously pontificating about how it is Democrats fault that the Republican Speaker of the House is keeping the House closed.

did my part this morning
So Trump has successfully tied himself in the loser race.
Is this now officially the longest shutdown in history?
It appears that Dick Cheney has finished his 84-year vacation on earth and has returned to the darkness from whence he came.
Conservatives never believed in public governance. For them, everything has to be private. Trump only had to pick 20 misfits to destroy quickly the federal government. “Communist” China has an easy time defeating the U.S. with its weak government, a bankrupt government in fact, bankrupt morally and economically.
Man these polls for Trump are brutal. He keeps doubling down as well and his supporters are burying their heads in the sand ignoring the downfall.
That stuff on 60 minutes about pardoning the guy he is in business with is going to hang over his head his whole Presidency. They claimed Biden was pardoning people he didn’t know about and people his family was doing business without evidence. Trump just went on live tv and admitted doing both.
Awesome stuff!
