Yet another record for the pedophilic felonious rapist.
A bigly shutdown ?
Just show casing the fine leadership of dementia don
Is it because the President of the United States of America is a pedophile?
A lot of people are saying that
Smart People.

Do the Epstein Files have anything to do with it? Besides the premium talks, I thought that one Arizona rep will give the final vote to release them, no?
Seems so:
The petition’s final two signatures were to come from Democrats: James Walkinshaw after he won the Virginia 11th District special election on September 9[159] and Adelita Grijalva (expected) after she won the Arizona 7th congressional district special election on September 23.[160] Though Walkinshaw was sworn in the day after the election, Grijalva was treated differently. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would wait until the state certified her victory.[161] He then canceled the House sessions for the last two days of September while facing an impending government shutdown[162] and said he would not call the House back into session until the government was operating again.[163][164] On October 14, the Arizona Secretary of State certified the election result.[165] On October 21, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes sued Johnson, seeking to force him to swear in Grijalva.[166] That day, Johnson told Fox Business that the delay “has zero to do with Epstein”, given that “the Epstein files are being released. There’s 43,000 pages now out there”.[167] That number apparently referred mainly to the House Oversight Committee’s releases on September 2 and October 17.
The two longest shutdowns in U.S. history were both under Republican’s watch while they held both the House and Senate. And surprise, surprise…both under Trump.
Republicans can’t govern y’all.
