2 days agoShutdowns always piss people off, and the GOP is always rightfully blamed, no matter their spin.
A shutdown would probably shift things to Harris a solid amount, and lose the GOP the house and keep them in the minority in the Senate.
You can tell most in the GOP know this because every GOP senator is telling the house to cut their shit out, but they ain’t gonna.
I can’t even make myself rewatch it because the “scandals” that are at the core of most episodes are so mundane and plebian it just descends into a farce.
Hell, even the many scenes when they treat the Whitehouse as a kind of civic holy ground just don’t work now. I just can’t buy it after 4 years of that lunatic sitting behind the resolute desk.
