I thought Republicans hated and were against shut downs?

They also claim to be against government handouts but are also handing out money to people who are unemployed because they willingly refuse the vaccine

The party is the biggest fucking laughing stock in all of politics and they just keep making bigger and bigger asses out of themselves

I mean...it's not, but okay?

The shutdown is not guaranteed. But if it does happen, it will happen in the very near future. Thus the "imminent shutdown" is "potentially" going to happen.

I get why you are inclined to say this but a government shutdown severely impacts millions of normal working US families.
Okay.

Sorry, holding millions working class americans' livelihoods hostage is a bad thing.
So tell that to the evil ones. And yes, republicans are straight evil and only willful ignorance says otherwise.

Both current parties are evil. One thing Ill give Republicans: at least they dont try and hide it nearly as much as the democrats. Republicans are more honest with how evil they are.

Stop pretending they are. Just because you didn't know there was a difference doesn't mean there wasn't a difference.

There's really not. Swap out the words in any of that link's example sentences, the meaning and intention remain clear.

Sure, let's look at some of the example uses from that link:

Like books, board games appear headed for imminent demise at the hands of cathode-ray terminals.

The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the local authorities were momentarily stunned, and began frantically trying to prepare for what they feared were further imminent attacks.
