We should be passing bills that make President Trump’s executive orders permanent.
It's not like she suddenly woke up sane or anything.
When they make up random shit and say "nuh ah, it's permanent, you can't undo it at all, ever, for all eternity" and expect that to stick to a society ready to revolt and completely overthrow the current government.
I can't believe the us has become a kakistocracy where MTG is the smarter of the bunch
Well, you can say she is smarter than the rest of the party, because she can read the writing on the wall...

Can she though
She is the classic "stopped clock". The vast majority of what she believes and says is still vile and wrong, but the media is only reporting on her rare points that diverge from her fellow extremists.
It was one of the longest before, but now it's even more one of the longest.
Technically yeah. On Monday at 20 days, it was the third longest, on Tuesday at 21 days, it ties for the second longest, and on Wednesday at 22 days (assuming) it will become the untied second longest.
But I think we're going for the record, currently at 35 days, set during the administation of exactly who you think.
Aren't we still 2 weeks away from the longest in US history?
The shutdown, which began on 1 October, has become the longest full government shutdown in US history, and the third-longest when including partial shutdowns. If it extends past Tuesday, it will surpass the 21-day shutdown of 1995-96 to claim second place. Only the 35-day partial shutdown during Donald Trump’s first term, from December 2018 to January 2019, has lasted longer.
lol T-Rump is going for his own record.
Aside, demographically, isn’t it mostly republican states suffering from the shutdown, them being the biggest receivers of government assistance?
Republican voters and voting against your own interests - name a more iconic duo
Yes. Welfare red states will suffer the most from this and all of Trump's policies.
And I'm enjoying every moment of their suffering. I savor it slowly like a fine wine.
Except the part where we end up bailing out farmers who voted to destroy their own livelihoods.
Well Republicans can't govern. So this works out for them.
How many holes have to be in one's brain to vote for these fuckups?
