#KremlinAnnex protesters gather outside the White House late Thursday as the government shutdown becomes one of the longest ever in US history. <br /><br />The #KremlinAnnex protesters made calls for the government to reopen as hundreds of thousands of federal workers prepare to miss a paycheck or be furloughed. <br /><br />On Friday, the shutdown hit the 21 day mark, placing it as the longest ever, alongside the December 1995 to January 1996 shutdown under Bill Clinton. <br /><br />The #KremlinAnnex protest has been ongoing for around half a year. Participants have stationed themselves outside the White House on a nightly basis, "keeping Putin’s puppet awake every night," according to their Facebook page.
