i once saw this video where the title said something like people robbed a jewely store but they didnt know the store owner put a gas trap in the store. the video implied that several people went in and no one came out and then you see them get gassed in the video. i am not sure if it was lethal gas or just knocked them out.

if you were elected, and then because you wanted to take a vacation during the holidays, you let funding for 40 plus million people lapse , that seems kind of illegal 

remember how the texas government was going to arrest people who fled a vote, is that something that could happen to people up there? 

in some situations, people will probably have to start choosing between paying rent/bills or food.   

having a record for the longest government shut downs is not really a good thing probably 

my opinion is you can vote to approve funding for the basic things for the next four years and not do anything else.  no one will care you if you are on vacation if you approve the funding. 

is it true that the gop has disappeared nowhere to be found? that the votes were cancelled ? 

if it were me, i would approve funding for the basic things for four years straight in one vote if possible.  and then i would take a vacation. and use holograms. 

i would at least approve funding for basic things. 

no one can tell who is causing the government shut down. the news says the gop is causing the shutdown. it also says the democrats are causing the shutdown.  i would say this is probably the wrong time of year to shut the government down during the holidays. it does give off scrooge vibes.  kind of probably one one of the worst couple of months in the u.s. you can cut funding for people, november and december.
