Yah, if I recall this stuff was happening during Trump’s term (and before?)

In fact I had an old meme that had Trump calling into tech support saying “the government isn’t doing what I want it to, what do you recommend?” And tech support saying “have you tried turning it off and then back on again?” And Trump’s eyes getting all wide like he hadn’t thought of that. But I gotta go on a jog and don’t have time to dig it up

But yah I remember these gov’t shutdowns happening before
Raising the debt ceiling is different than funding the government. Two entirely different things.

It's a damn good thing we got a ceiling. Otherwise people might start to think its all a load of shit and they can raise the debt whenever.

my prediction is the next generations will consider debt as just something people have, or even a sign of nobility. Those with the most debt, like our government, have it because they want to make the world a better place.

So instead of giving children inheritance you will give them debt. But they wont be upset with that, because debt is something that is good.

And to make all this possible the debtors that own the planet will just call the payments you make, taxes.

Asked about Trump aides refusing to testify, Rep. Murphy said “we have engaged with a wide variety of law enforcement offices, including the U.S. Marshals, in order to issue the subpoenas. We will use everything, as you said, with all due respect, we will use all of the agencies and all of the tools at our disposal to issue the subpoenas and enforce them.”

Her remarks come a day after Rep. Liz Cheney, the vice chair of the committee into the Capitol riot, warned that she will seek criminal contempt changes against anybody who fails to comply with the subpoenas issued last month.

It would be great if they did the same thing to address actual problems, like the BLM riots that went on for months and caused billions of dollars in damage and claimed about 50 lives. It would be great if they cared about that. Instead though viking hat man is persona non grata.

Sacking the capitol is a greater offence than vandalizing a Wendy's.
