The Senate passed a clean continuing resolution UNANIMOUSLY. If Paul Ryan had called for a vote, they could have passed it in the House with all Democrats and enough Republicans to have a veto-proof supermajority. Trump had even agreed to the deal. But then, boo hoo, wacko extremist right-wing rabble rousers (Limbaugh, Ingraham, Coulter, Fox & friends) scolded him and he gave in like a little baby. We now have a presidency run by talk show idiots.
But Paul Ryan abdicated his role as Speaker of the House, a formerly separate and co-equal branch of government, and turned his gavel over to Trump-ividual 1, along with whatever is left of his balls.
Donald Trump would have made himself irrelevant.
A new speaker takes over on January 3 who has more balls than Ryan ever did (I think she collects ’em from all the men who underestimated her).
Prior to Trump, there had been Republican shutdowns before, but NEVER when ONE PARTY controlled the House, Senate and Presidency. And now that we have the Orange Buffoon, it has happened THREE TIMES in less than two years.
