Yes... it's trump's shutdown.
8 Republicans join House vote to reopen IRS, other financial agencies despite veto threat
The House passed a financial services spending bill on Wednesday, the first of four appropriations bills the House will vote on this week in an attempt to reopen shuttered parts of government, despite the fact that the measures are not expected to go anywhere in the Senate and face a White House veto threat.
The vote was 240-188, with eight Republicans joining with Democrats to pass the bill.
It does not bode well for Trump when members of his own party are starting to move against him.
Only 50 more to go.
I'm not talking about a veto. I'm talking about politics. You do understand politics, I know.

Doesn't matter, Trump doesn't give a crap. It only matters when they have 290 house votes.
I wonder if you realize that you are implicitly blaming Trump for the shutdown
I blamed Senate Republicans in December for not passing the House's bill that provided the 5 billion in funding. And they should have wrapped this all up in the previous continuing funding resolutions during previous years.
Don't really care who gets the blame.
I referred to what you just said, not what you said last month

8 out of 200 doesn't seem like much of a move.

That's why I used the word "starting". A grasp of the English language always helps me when I read posts.
In this case, a grasp of simple mathematics, or better yet, character, helps even more. You're twisting yourself into knots trying to make things fit your predefined narrative. Facts matter.
