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.

it looks like the civil servants will be paid for the recent three-day furlough.

Which sounds fair to me. They weren't the ones who decided to stop working.

I'm pretty sure that a different GOP controls each of the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.

Here's what it looks like by the presidential line of succession:

[table]
ord Person Ideal country
0 Donald Trump Biff's future from Back the the Future
1 Mike Pence The Handmaid's Tale
2 Paul Ryan Atlas Shrugged
3 Orrin Hatch Deseret
4 Rex Tillerson Waterworld
5 Steve Mnuchin A lot to choose from, let's just pick Suicide Squad
6 James Mattis United States of America
7 Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III Confederate States of America
