Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the damage in this screenshot?

Apparently not. There are 2 reasons for this: while Neptune's and Pluto's orbits overlap on images, they overlap in such a way they never overlap on the same 3D point in space. Ther is also gravitational resonance[2], where each planet speeds up or slows down as the other approaches

Now, I am not American and don't really follow the news, but to me it looks like a 'Government shutdown' is averted every few months. Is this normal?

But the rules of Portal is that the portals themselves break when moved by any substantial extent anyways

Except when the rules don't apply
