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.

Another false flag operation?
Lol…. Only NON-Essential government!
Its sad the dems cannot be grown up and work together. Such babies.
you know shutting down the government means poor kids can’t eat, disabled veterans can loose their health benefits for a time, elderly have slowed access to doctors as repayment is delayed, food and medical inspections are reduced for higher chance of contaminations, less help in rebuilding infrastructure, or building infrastructure in rural areas of the U.S. The only things that are paid are Congress, President, their aids, military.
Obama didn’t shut the government down; Congress did.

I’m NOT APOLOGISING for any or ALL of YOU’RE OWN ACTION’S!
DOCK THE PAY WHEN THEY DO SHUT DOWN. NO WORK NO PAY
Robby Simpson My My My you are so confused. Obama did veto budgets (or don’t you remember the budget defunding planned parenthood, vetoed by obama?) , he also figured out ways to go around the budget and spend money as he saw fit. Liberal democrats with THEIR majority passed many a budget that forced the borrowing of money for the budget that they passed. Sorry obama and liberal democrats in congress screwed the American tax payer for years and generations to come. Your response is typical of the no nothing drooling liberal know nothing but this fits use it attitude. EVERYONE knows that obama and his pen did not follow the constitution. Something the drooling liberals in Congress not only allowed but crammed down Americans throats.
The Democratic Party and Liberals will be held responsible for shutting down government. They are nothing but terrorist against United States of America and its citizens and must be eradicated from the United States.
So let the name shut the government down. You let it shut down you don’t get paid. No work no pay.
