   As appealing as it is to blame T-rump, the truth is, Congress still has not sent something for him to sign or reject. The partial government shutdown is a failure of *congressional* leadership, a failure on both sides of the #Twin_Parties in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
   .
   Now once they pass a funding bill, then T-rump can mess things up further by rejecting it. But the blame isn't his yet.

     @deejoe @paco Also, the budget year started October 1st. The budget should have been passed before then, not these continuing resolutions (temporary funding authorizations) every two or three months.

     @lnxw48a1 The ratline noted that today we've matched the longest previous one. Tomorrow we'll break the record. There is no end in sight.
