Except they didn't. The exchange went something like this:
R: Agree to our demands: or starve.
D: NO WAY! We're rdy to HOLD THE LINE!
*(After longest shutdown in history)
D: OK. We're got 8 Senators here ready to cave. Here's a good time to mouth an empty platitude, like "the fight continues."

I dunno. Think of all those extra midges out loose in the world: if spider-opolis wasn't there to gobble them up.
I'm kinda happy the spiders have figured it out.

But wow, willya look at the time! My allotment for chatting with mindreading dolts who form opinions based upon ONE data point, has expired.
Bye now. And do better as a thinking, non-mindreading human being.

But thanks for affirming my suspicions. Like so many keyboard warriors...you know stuff. You saw a pitcher of skulls n' stuff. Cool.

Jesus, the more you type: the lower you reveal your IQ. It was a skull and crossbones, Einstein. Is THIS a Fascist symbol, too? 🏴☠️
Pretty sure you're not even a Maine'r. Only the most rabid keyboard warriors (with zero connection to the state in question) are the real true white knights.

Fair enough. The best thing about Princess Bride--unlike most fantasy genre movies, it doesn't take itself seriously.
I'm a little envious--I wish I could see it again, for the 1st time. Enjoy.

"Eating itself alive??" Hardly. This is why I find your clickbait titles problematic. At MOST, they're cleaning house and making some personnel changes at the top.

Well it's true: some things are over-hyped. But some are hyped, deservedly so. Princess Bride is a one of the better fantasy films--far better IMO than the LOTR franchise.
