And sub-genius Mr. McCarthy by putting forward an impeachment inquiry to please the barking seals on the far right guaranteed that there isn't going to be a bi-partisan anything in this situation.
Please, for the love of God, we have got to get these people out of Washington and find someone, anyone, who can effectively govern and get the clown show to go back to their districts and STFU.
The press is not to blame, but I have seen zero discussion of the fact the "deal" to raise the debt limit has been totally ignored by the R leadership.
My favorite quote this morning: "Be patient. We still have a little ways to go til September 30."
I'm sure you have a more balanced view of history than I, Jamie, but my memory is that past conflicts leading to shutdowns resembled a game of "Chicken" involving one house of Congress or the other. But the Trump years (including the current term which remains more Trump's than Biden's) has a more protracted savagery involving both House and Senate.
