Defeated Republican Representives Are Not Showing Up For Work

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/12/re...showing-vote-might-encourage-government-shut/

"Republican officials have a few weeks left in the legislative session for 2018, but some haven’t been showing up to vote after the lost their seats in the November midterm elections, the New York Times reported. While that might not cause a problem in some years, this is not one of them.
The government sits on a cliff of another budget crisis just days before the Christmas holiday. A budget must be passed by Dec. 21, but if Republicans aren’t even showing up to work. It’s unclear how it is going to pass even if the GOP does reach a deal. "

Oy! Prepare for a shut down. A shit show to the bitter end. 5 days to go.

Hey, if the government shuts down, does that mean the people in the Mueller probe can’t continue?

If so, Trump’s intransigence on the issue makes more sense. If not, it makes as little sense as everything else he does.

A Republican today is a human trapped at an immature state of development.

At a childish greedy self-centered state of development with a bunch of religious delusions about the world and how it works.

To expect these overgrown children to do their duty is a fantasy.

This will be a partial shutdown, and I don't think that it will impede the Mueller investigation. The US government is the country's largest employer, so the main victims will likely be people who can least afford it.

Well, they might be 'encouraged' to take any vacation time they have, but if they a re motivated to spend any of their off time pushing paper around, you can't stop them.
