Democrats are nearly unconditional in their efforts to fund the government with continuing resolutions and similar. Trying to pin a shutdown on them is ridiculous.

2018 shutdown was from Dems not wanting to fund the wall. Blame still got placed on the GOP, but it happened on the watch of a Democratic house.
The Republicans controlled the House when the shutdown occured. The Senate had already passed the bill, but it didn't include funding for Trump's wall, so he said he would veto the bill if it didn't have his wall funding in it. Democrats gained control of the House when they were sworn in and they passed the bill.

No. It happened under a GOP controlled House.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%932019_United_States_federal_government_shutdown

The shutdown stemmed from an impasse over Trump's demand for $5.7 billion in federal funds for a U.S.Mexico border wall.[5][6][7] In December 2018, the Senate unanimously passed an appropriations bill without wall funding, and the bill appeared likely to be approved by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and Trump. After Trump faced heavy criticism from some right-wing media outlets and pundits for appearing to back down on his campaign promise to "build the wall", he announced that he would not sign any appropriations bill that did not fund its construction

Legitimately glad the younger people in congress now have no restraint when it comes to lighting the GOP on fire like this.

I know some people want to pearl-clutch about "Decorum" and "Oh they're grandstanding", but honestly one thing the Democrats lack is people who are intent on confrontation and challenging their opponents directly. It makes them look passive and spineless, and feeds into a lot of the "Well they're no better than Republicans!" shit due to the constant inaction borne of adhering to the old "gentleman's culture".

That's kind of her only limit, IMO. Where does she go from Texas? I doubt Texas would elect her to higher office. She has been hanging out with some CA Dems lately (according to a friend) but she's almost overqualified in her first term in the House. Needs to develop some DC policy experience though and this current gig is as good as any to get it.

I mean, this is the same person that thinks the jewish elite constructed satellite space lasers for the plans of world domination.

I believe she's so unbelievably stupid she 100% believes in the utter stupidity she spews.
At the absolute best, most generous read of the situation, she believes none of it, but still says what she says because she thinks her base believes it.

Which, at the end of the day, isn't functionally that much different then being stupid enough to actualy believe your own bullshit.

What I got out of this inquiry is that, while they may be a few things to look at, it should of been done before now, and subpoenas should of been sent out. Also your first public hearing should of been with actual witnesses.

No. Those things have been largely looked at, and nothing was found, or in some cases, outright debunked or refuted by the people they are subject to. This is utterly worthless even to investigate. It's just a showing to get the moronic MAGAs to shut up and get a appropriations bill passed.

I know some of it has, but I don't think all of it has because they refuse to subpoena anyone to find the answer. And instead of even having factual witnesses there, the GOP voted against that.

Bill Barr (Trump's AG) refused to touch this.

Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley (both Trump creatures in the Senate) conducted an investigation that found no wrongdoing.

Jim Jordan and James Comer (both Trump creatures in the House) have been conducting an investigation for ten months and have found no wrongdoing.

The GOP's own witnesses have repeatedly testified under oath that they have witnessed no wrongdoing.

Fox News (a pro-Trump propaganda network at the time) examined the contents of the laptop and found no evidence of wrongdoing.

To date, the Republican Party hasn't produced a single piece of evidence or a single witness that directly links Joe Biden to a crime. Not one.

OMG that is probably what she means. That wasn't even the government shutting down so I never put two and two together. Of course she would think they were the same thing.

Even though we never had a true COVID shutdown and most of what did happen was under Trump.
