Since taking control of the US House of Representatives, the "Obstruct" Party has refused to pass any government funding legislation. Instead of staying in DC and working on it, Nancy and other "Obstruct" Party leaders are off to Brussels and elsewhere, after having recently returned from a beach vacation.

Will they pass any funding legislation before the next Presidential election in 2020? Will big sections of government be closed permanently? What do you think is going to happen?

@luckranger71 More broadly, I was talking about the 112th through 114th United States Congresses.

@Greybare actually the House is where appropriations originate, constitutionally. They've even offered to meet DTs request for money, as long as it's not for a wall. It's the majority in the Senate obstructing.

Given the Ds believe a wall is a pointless ineffective boondoggle, and hate trump with a vengeance, they've been remarkably unobstructive

@Greybare The Senate isn't even getting the chance to say whether they support or reject what the House has done, Mitch is blocking the bills from ever reaching the floor.

Exactly.

But then since President Trump doesn't understand the Constitution, it's not surprising that many of his supporters haven't either.
