The Third Trump Government Shutdown Proves This One Thing About Republicans

We’re in yet another Trump government shutdown — the third one America’s first convicted felon president has presided over — and the only people surprised are the ones still deluded enough to think Republicans are capable of governing. They aren’t. They never have been. This latest manufactured crisis is just more proof that Republicans don’t just fail to improve the lives of the people they pretend to represent — they make those lives worse — and measurably so. They have shown again and again that they’ll burn America down for power, for cruelty, and for the billionaires who own them.
