There is news out of Washington, D.C., that congressional Republicans may shut down the government. Again. This gesture will accomplish nothing, as usual, except to anger people who like national parks. The powers that rule us have already made sure that when the federal government goes into hibernation at home, American money and personnel will keep on running as normal in Ukraine. Shutting down the government has backfired on the party that initiated it every single time it has been tried in the modern era, so of course Republicans are going to do it.
This same death wish expresses itself in a prematurely launched impeachment inquiry. Republicans have lots of good evidence that Joe Biden is too mixed up with his son, Hunter, who is too mixed up with foreign money and controlled substances. But most news consumers haven’t heard about “the big guy.” They haven’t read Hunter’s complaints about his money being mixed up with Joe’s. They haven’t read the testimony from Devon Archer or Tony Bobulinski. These names mean nothing to them. Impeachment has also backfired on every party that has tried it in the modern era.
