Every Democratic politician needs to say when questioned about the government shutdown

Should say it is the Republican shutdown, and now that the repukes shutdown the government the border patrol can no longer function.

Democratic Party members should say it over and over and put the blame where it belongs on the repuke party on the orders of the orange maggot.

Border Patrol (CBP) is required to work through a shutdown... without pay until the shutdown is over then they receive back pay.

But it will suck to put groceries on credit cards waiting for back pay.

of properly assigning blame. The "what about her email" crowd of journalism is incapable of doing anything other than "both siderismes". Even when one party publicly threatens to throw them in jail for their reporting (and physically attacks them like on Jan 6th) they still can't seem to get it; one side surely seems to be causing all the problems.

In my life I saw one government shutdown. I'm sure we're all going to be fine. Someone will pull a rabbit out of their hat just in time.
