The article from Vox clearly states "The government shutdown this weekend is the first true, honest-to-God shutdown has happened with a single party controlling the White House and Congress. It's true that Jimmy Carter and Democrats in Congress butted heads five times in 1977, 1978, and 1979, and couldn't get their act together to fund government (Carter was a bad president!) But that was before Carter's attorney general issued guidance saying that when a funding gap like that exists, government functions must shut down.
This may be hard for an Alt-Right Fascist Conservative to understand but if nothing shuts down it is not a shutdown
I see. So now you pivot from "So based on your article there was not a shutdown under Carter" to but....but...but...but....this other article says it was not a shutdown.
While I appreciate you doing your Bill Clinton impersonation, Stevie Wonder could see what you were trying to prove when you came on here with your verbal diarrhea proclaiming, "Actually Trump has managed to be the FIRST President to have a government shutdown when his party was in control of both the house and the senate" when it is not the case.
Somehow, despite the Government being "shutdown", Obama and his cronies were able to employ government employees to barricade off national parks and monuments and prevent citizens and visitors from entering. For being a "shutdown", liberals still seem to get their stupidity financed. I find it funny that the phones were answered at the IRS and SBA on Monday... guess employees under a Republican administration see the hazard of classifying themselves at "non-essential".
So what flavor is it today? I am thinking Sharkleberry Fin
