    What a misleading headline. Makes it sound like the Republicans did the hard work.

    What is life? We are in the evil timeline.

      It didn’t read that way to me. This could be the end of McCarthy as speaker because he worked with Democrats. Did you see the paragraph:

      Jim McGovern, a Democrat from Massachusetts, offered a simple commentary as he left the floor following the vote: “We won.”

        The headline made it sound like the Republicans avoided it; that’s all. You know most Republicans don’t read anything more than a headline. :) I’m mostly frustrated with that is all. The context almost always leans differently.

        Any Republican who reads that, what do you think they read? I know what I think, and, unfortunately, as an observer of those people’s reactions, I’m positive that’s how they’ll read it.

      Well technically they did work hard… at blocking anything possible to stop this shutdown, because a shutdown is good for a very few rich assholes
