Republicans still terrible. Government still shut down.
While Congressional Republicans and conservative pundits make the cable news show circuit to declare the shutdown "no big deal," nearly a million people are not getting paid, everything from domestic violence shelters to scientific research facilities are struggling without the federal funding on which they depend, needy schools are running out of money, food stamp recipients are bracing for automatic cuts, thousands of national park employees are stranded without work or pay, military families are waiting for death benefits, and the list could go on and and on and on.
The Republican shitheels who keep yukking it up about how this shutdown is "no big deal," just a bit of political theater with no real consequences, are liars and dirtbags. The shutdown is "no big deal" to them.
But it is a very big deal to a lot of other folks.
