Today's news services have assumed that their consumers are idiots and therefore have to explain everything in very simplistic terms. Then little by little, 'commentary' overtook 'news' until now when there are three seconds of facts interspersed with 24x7 live commentary by photogenic talking heads and panels of carefully selected, paid, 'experts'.

Oh, I understand. So, what part is fake?
Was there a yearly budget passed this fiscal year?
Were there two Continuing Resolutions passed instead?
Is there not an impeachment inquiry happening?
Did the House wait until the very last day of the previous Continuing Resolution to even take up another one?
Please, explain how fake this all is.

Cool story bro.
WTF does that have to do with the actual OP?
Besides a link that states the the House doesn't have time to pass a budget.
Which you can google and find is factual.... on every single site out there.

That post was not directly referring to the OP. I was answering a subsequent post by the Redneck.

Meanwhile, in the real world....
The people that we have elected that have as their primary duty the writing and passing of a budget for the USA can't get to that duty because they are desperately attempting to impeach our duly elected President for essentially doing his job.
All in an attempt to get him out of office before he is elected into said office again because they simply don't have a candidate that can beat him.
You back on track now?

If we did not have the transcript, if we did not have every single first hand witness saying Trump did nothing wrong, if we did not have Ukraine saying Democrats are hindering their corruption investigations ... I would agree.
I wasn't suggesting anything was fake. You were.
They are legislators.
Surely if things are going well, you don't make changes which might destabilize that?
Please explain why it would be it wrong to defer a revision to the budget, in a time of economic stability?

They are legislators. They are doing what they are doing. They have the right and capability to do so. If Trump is doing the wrong thing, they actually have the duty to prosecute. It is happening. It is now public.
Expect them to fight for it, as this is History, and the two parties have simultaneously existed for a long time.
