It's a good thing that we avoided a government shutdown


Too many working-class Americans would have been out of work had the government shutdown. They have mouths to feed and children to clothe.

Sometimes you don't get everything you want and you might even have some bitter pills to swallow, especially when you don't show up to vote allowing right wing Republicans to dictate the Congressional agenda.

GOTV next time.

Lesson learned hopefully.
   
Yeah good thing.  :whatever:

Working class Americans would have gotten up and gone to work....deadbeats and government workers would have stayed in bed.

It was so good, it was worth saying twice. 

On a side note, bonehead Boehner's POS "cluster foxtrot" House bill still has to pass thru Harry Reid's Senate.  Deal ain't done yet.

They'll throw some more pork in for both sides and get it through.

Not if Obama handled it like last time, where he shut down everything the Feds even had the slightest contact with, even if they normally did nothing at all with it like access easements over Fed property, just to throw a tantrum and f*ck over as many innocent bystanders as possible.

I only spent an hour in my local DMV today.
I was renewing my driver's license for another 4 years.
It's also a state revenue office so it collects a lot of cash and other receipts.
I'm glad I had my passport on hand.
I was able to get them to admit that there was an oversight on the birthdate displayed on my license.
I told them I was there for my birthday, although I don't remember much about it.
Even still, I think I know better than them what my birthday is.

I'm confused.

The Rethuglicans are to blame for the last shutdown...
...but because the Democrats got hammered this election we avoided a new shutdown...

...so the solution is to get out the presumably Democratic vote?!?

They are dummies, Sarge. One can go insane trying to understand their batshit logic. I don't even try anymore.  :cheersmate:
