as they try to explain the shutdown to the more reasonable French who have the sense to grab their pitchforks and scythes and march on the government when it misbehaves.

The Weeping Cheeto is not coming off well.

...where these things are being said?

Hard to tell if it's one of the major media editorials or some small local outlet.

from almost all Major European News sources. La Monde, Der Spiegel take your pick.
Another one

The Zeit newspaper blamed a “handful of radicals,” stating, “A small group of uncompromising Republican ideologues in the House of Representatives are principally responsive for this disaster. They are not only taking their own party to the brink, but the whole country. Unfortunately the leadership of this party has neither had the courage nor the backbone to put them in their place.”

And they nailed it.

The Republicans defy in wide open breach of oath that is in contrast to defend the Constitution. Witness with affirmation by the Supreme Court that watches and sits idle on the side lines with no opinion, yet speaks in plea for oath and allegiance to the defense of the Constitution does and must include the very basic to make operations to run the country. The government from the time of inception is perpetual in operation. Or if not America does not exist.

All witness by a hand on the bible in agreement to God. From my view the people the citizens that voted for this are as evil shame as those who represent these men; those who help select these men do not ascend to what we know as life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Yes this is a 911, those who held the door open to terror the airplane crash smoke rubble horrible loose of life property the American should believe it could be an inside job. Now in real time without rubble smoke or crashing planes America is witness to the same money profiteering in decisions that best fit hate cause grief sorrow and disbelieve for many but profiteering for the few.

Now closing the door stopping government operations should surely convince Americans inside our government is an evil gang of perpetrators that only profiteer through misery deceit corruption and worse disrespect for human life. The real incredible part is that sanctioned to the shield of journalism that weaves through a bottom line to profiteering commercials to perpetuate all this grief misinformation that push the ordinary citizen to the brink of hell. The Constitution is good the people who run it that are not.
