      @btaf45 @NightGaunts @queermunist American voters are some of the dumbest people walking the Earth. Just deep down to the bone, stupid. Voting against the tsunami of stupid is like spitting into a hurricane, but still, I pull so many Ds every year that I start to doubt my sexuality.

      What matters is if these House members think the government shutdown will hurt Biden and allow them to retake the government.
