Donald Trump may have a Republican congress, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t face the threat of a government shutdown. Just in case, the administration seems to be quietly prepping for the event.
While the idea of a government shutdown seems unlikely in a time of unified government, it isn’t out of the question. Blame Senate Democrats. While Republicans hold a majority in the chamber, they don’t have the votes to overcome a minority filibuster. They need Democrat support for any bill they pass, but they aren’t likely to get it.
This session’s Senate Democrats have proven themselves to be the least cooperative batch in modern history. Votes that have historically been bipartisan in nature — such as Supreme Court and cabinet confirmations — have suddenly become contentious showdowns. Democrats are simply refusing to vote with Donald Trump on anything.
Now, their obstructionism is threatening to shut down the American government.

Rich con white trash
Go tell your Mommy.
Calling someone “white trash” and having a Mustang in you profile pic is the height of irony. 😀
The ones who are responsible will have to be held accountable in the next election!
She already seen it 18 months ago lol only fools. An not see it
First thing to cut is pay to all of Congress. Leave Medicare and social security along. These have already been paid for by the retired
That’s a 250k boss 429 idiot
First ounce of hope for America. All congressman and senators are rich. So what. Work hard in life to earn a goal of rich. More rich give back more than one realizes and don’t brag about it. Being poor is no excuse to work hard and making a living. Raised poor, not rich, but content.
How many times did obama shut the govt. down.
Especially when he vowed to veto anything that would stop the sequester.
Then threatened the old, and sick, and week with shutting down their benefits.
And it’s a Mustang. Official vehicle of the generationally inbred.
