Shouldn't Pence and Ryan be the Republic of Gilead and Galt's Gulch respectively? The relevant territories are not the titles of the works they appear in.

But what a moment to have the government enter shutdown; exactly 1 year after the current president was sworn in his own party couldn't manage the legislature well enough to keep the money going.

Wait till Jan 30. That's when the State of the Union address is due.

As long as Congress can't do anything, they can't repeal NAFTA - which is good for most border states and most states that have manufacturing-based economies.

Why is it that 'Governent shutdown' is even a thing?
'Government shutdown' in most civilised places is usually followed by 'Government execution'.
To the point that most governments have ways of riding through clusterfucks and keeping the state running inspite of itself
I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.
One day they're going to ban them.

We had a shutdown once. Once. The queen fired everyone and there were elections. It's never happened again.
