Ever since the White House was overtook by Barry the Kenyan Usurper Muslim in 2009, the US government has operated without an actual budget. Since the Constitution says those things must be voted on first in the House and then passed by the Senate before the President signs it, and then the country gets money, it is up to the House to get that ball rolling. But the Republican led House just cannot get around to making a thing like a budget happen when that black guy is in charge, so instead, the beacon of freedom and democracy of the world has gone around for 4 years using stopgap "spending measures" to keep the lights on.
In California we passed a law that said if the budget wasn't passed by the legal deadline, the legislator's pay also stopped until a budget was submitted and approved by the Governor. Funny how fast the Repugs stopped playing games with the budget after that.
By not funding the entire government, they've defunded Obamacare. If only the Republicans valued sacred human life enough to lift a finger to keep the already-born alive.
I notice the 'Pubes couldn't stop themselves from dragging contraceptives out of Obamacare. As a person of the non-female gender, this directly affects my chances of getting laid*. And not in a good way. ______________________________ * some of you know how good those chances were before this.
"NASA will shut down pretty much completely"
Oh lord, I think I've finally figured out their plan. With NASA shut down, large portions of our deep space monitoring capability (pitiful as it is) will be largely unmanned. So potentially, the way could be open for Ted Cruz's alien masters to mount a full scale invasion.
Dear America, Either stop voting Republican so this shit will stop happening, or at least vote in the primaries and get reasonable people nominated as Republicans (remember Eisenhower? Jacob Javitz? Earl Warren? Nelson Rockefeller? John Heinz? Those guys were pretty reasonable) instead of Tea Party lunatics.

may your man ride out this shitstorm on a wave of wonkette love and land at your feet fully hatched with LURV on his mind.

I would like to give each and every one of these Republicans a hug. During which, I would stick a "kick me" sign on their back.

Preach it, Terry!
This is like taking a history class from George Burns and Gracie Allen.
Please form an orderly line at the Canadian border. You will be issued maple syrup and hockey equipment on a first come, first served basis...
House Republicans are obviously non-essential -- they haven't done shit in years, and it hasn't much mattered.
That Republican jobs laser needs recalibration.
Seriously.

I would be more surprised if they were not drunk except for Michele Bachmann, she's more of pilling popping goofball kind of politician.
