Donald Trump is basically holding the government hostage so he can build his monument to his racism. The House passed a bipartisan bill that would basically tell Trump "Fuck off, you stupid fat fuck". The Senate could pass this bill, get things working again, but Cocaine Mitch has decided he'd rather suck Trump's tiny cock than actually do anything about it. He could end this shutdown at any time. The 2/3rds majority they need would be incredibly easy to get. Sadly, Republicans have zero principles and instead of telling Donald Trump "No, we won't fund your wall that you said Mexico would pay for." they're letting him hold the government hostage because they really like getting paid to do nothing and they like fucking over people that aren't them. Especially poor people who aren't them. A lot of people aren't getting a paycheck at the moment because Donald Trump's got a miniature mushroom shaped dick and his KKK membership (they all get those white hoods with the tall hats to compensate for their extremely small dicks) is riding on it.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
