This shutdown accomplished absolutely nothing!

Capitulation. Surrender. Call it what you will.

My very sick family member will lose their ACA coverage over this. It is a disaster. Full stop.

What was this all for?

If you say it was for the midterms please go straight to hell.

and then cross that line... you're gonna get blamed for the shutdown AND whatever is across the line.

That is a profoundly stupid way of politicking in today's America.
