Federal food benefits and preschool aid to run dry starting Saturday if THE GOP shutdown continues - FTFY
What, just because the GOP has all 3 branches of government and refuses to meet with Democrats to negotiate...?
Yeah, kinda mostly just exactly that. I don't really care how they managed to put themselves in charge of dismantling our government I'm much more interested in getting them out of there.
Yeah, it's not really a "government" when you give authority to criminals that don't believe in governance, like Republicans and Democrats (and the leaders of pretty much any country these days)
"The GOP shutdown" is a more honest way to phrase it (not that the GOP is shutting down, just that stuff is shut down under their watch)
