So the Dems in the house voting to re-open the government means they dont know how bills or the government work?
What are you on about?

So I guess the people out of work will remain out of work for the foreseeable future as the democratic house is using the shutdown as a weapon to impeach the president?

Not really if Senate liked the bill that president vetoed then all they would have had to do was vote again if 2/3rds voted for bill it would automatically become law because they had overridden potus veto.

People are laid off in private industry every day, and never get back pay. Government workers will get it. No tears shed for them. I hope they're making the most of their vacation, knowing that they will get paid for it.

And yet, there are federal workers who are not being paid.

Its all so pathetic. My angst is moving from the elected to the electors. At this point i'd say that anyone voting for D or R is an enemy of the people.
