Something that, in 2013, was supposed to stop the delay of Obamacare, just so that the Obama Administration could turn around and keep delaying parts of it later.
Progressives and Democrats wailed about the partial government shutdown -- name-calling the Republicans "extremists" and "domestic terrorists" -- but have no problem with Obama delaying parts of Obamacare now -- which is exactly what the argument surrounding the government shutdown was about in the first place. Hypocrites!

When a bunch of inbred ivy leaguers forget that their job is to run a country and maintain stability and think that anyone actually gives a shit about their infantile sound and fury over budget cuts which will have about as much effect on the national debt as taking a piss in the ocean.
As any four-year-old knows, 99% of national spending goes to the military, social security and other pensions, but we had a government shutdown because the House couldn't come to a compromise about the other 1%.

What the United States is currently in right now. The longest U.S government shutdown shutdown in history. Caused by Donald Trump not having funding for his stupid wall, because Democrats won’t approve funding for the wall.

Another way of saying that the government is tired of trying to fix the mess they've made for us, so they are going to go home and sleep until someone else fixes the problem.
We the Strong nation Of the United States of America have decided to have a Government-Shutdown, and in doing so we the government expect that this will make everything worse, but rest assured the senate and congress will be sitting cozy in our large mansions waiting for someone to fix this for us.

Isn't it crazy that they can just sit there and allow a mentally retarded contractor steal my shit so I have to keep working... And the shut down the Government so THEY don't have to work! So they don't have to ARREST A LITERAL CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING RING.
Hym "So the Republicans are covering for pedophiles while a mental retard absconds with my work. If you think these people are going to do anything other than replace you with the AI I created (which they are already doing) and you are more concerned with dragging me down with you than what's going to happen after they replace ME. If they are going to replace the AI creating genius, even if it means they have to sacrifice your kids, then they are going to replace you next. Why wait till September? What's in September? Nothing. The government shutdown is bullshit. They let your idiot kids weaponizes schizophrenia and get themselves kill after reading everything I wrote, as I wrote it. Ignoring my warning, my moral argument, and my legal argument entirely. Now, they let Epstein and HIS FRIENDS (Whoever THEY are I don't know WHO was FRIENDS WITH EPSTEIN but his friends fuck kids) molest kids and now they are helping his friends get away with it. All because you have no ability to make them do anything about anything! They don't even have to warn you if your little girl is about to down in a flood! THEY MAKE US WORK FOR BILLIONAIRES BUT DON'T HAVE TO DO THEIR JOB... AT ALL! And they get away with it because if you're not going to grab your gun, go to Mike Johnsons house and avenge your drowned daughter the who gives a shit!? Right?"
