So while the Democrats are foaming at the mouth today and having seizures right now while threatening to begin impeachment based solely on the words of a known liar and fraud who broke the attorney client privilege but whose realibity for actual investigations is near zero, the Republicans found a solution to Nancy Pelosi breaking 100 years of precedent: have the state of the union in the Senate instead. For those who haven't been following the situation, Pelosi wanted to deny Trump the state of the union speech because when he takes his message to the public it spells trouble for the other side. Last year's speech was very effective. She used the shutdown as an excuse despite HS reporting they we're ready to secure the event.
At this point given how intransigent the dems are I say let's keep the government shut down for another 2 years. People will learn how little government we need. And while some people will be legitimately hurt the overwhelming majority of people affected are the worst kinds of welfare leeches and excess bureaucrats. Food stamps turn off in a few weeks. My guess is Trump knows this and knows the Dems will probably cave in before that happens.

Trump ran on a platform of cutting gov't waste & abuse. What better way to highlight how unnecessarily bloated it has become than to reduce it to only "essential" (still somewhat arbitrary, but I'll go with it) workers/functions for an extended period of time. The vast majority of Americans, who make their livelihood in the private sector, will not be affected in any meaningful way. It will suck for those who are employed by - or suck at the tit of - .gov, but they'll just have to find another way to get on. My guess is that with the boot of government lifted off the neck of the private sector, there will be more jobs available for them to transition into. But I will say this - we need to revisit what is and what isn't "essential" during these partial shutdowns. This bullshit of ATF not processing Form 1/3/4's is even more infringing than the forms themselves. And why is the Coast Guard considered "non-essential"? Whose bright idea was that?

Love the AM TV news.........interviewed some clowns who have some "concerns" - the shut down will impact the Super Bowl. They used the word "concerns" around 20 times before saying what the actual problem MAY be.
Flights into Atlanta could possibly be slightly delayed. Travesty of Biblical Proportions.

Trump really screwed up
He should have cancelled Pelosi's flight AFTER she was over in Afghanistan

They should not have any federal funding for the Superbowl. Let the state/county/city and NFL foot 100% of security and any other costs.

The demon rats will do anything they can to try to make this quote-unquote hurt. However they're going to find out pretty fast that very few of Trump's base will be affected by the quote-unquote shutdownand in actuality the vast majority will be welfare parasites that vote Democrat anyway. When the food stamps turn off after a few months of that you might have the crazy lives out riding in the streets demanding impeachment but without 67 votes in the Senate they can pound sand for two years as they learn to feed themselves for the first time in their lives.
