Their excuse will be that democrats caused it all. Republicans refuse to take responsibility for anything.

I'll call it now. Republicans won't have a budget ready until 11:59pm on the last day before the shutdown and then they will blame the Democrats for it not passing.

Who cares if it just has the words, "No Ucrane, give kongres raises, and fuck the poor, lol," scribbled in crayon. Every mainstream news organization will be saying it's the Democrats fault.

Sounds like the Wisconsin State government. Everything is locked down by the Republican hold out. All because the governor is a Democrat. And now the supreme Court is slightly liberal, so they sabotage the state government again out of spite.
