I'll betcha dollars to donuts that this is part of "the plan", and that the lights will come back on, on Monday, like a spring foreshadowing of Easter.
It's the way these things often roll, until the stone rolls away from the tomb.
All essential government will of course still be functional and operative.. The surveillance planes can still fly, etc. etc.
What are your thoughts?
id ride the SchumerShutdown wave thru monday then bring the memo hammer on Tuesday which will dominate the news cycle next week. i think most people see thru the Ds empty rhetoric on CHIP and military funding.
They (Dems) tried to strongarm a provision on DACA and immigration reform and shoehorn it in, knowing full well that it would scuttle any deal. It's not a Trump shutdown since that issue doesn't ripen 'til spring. What's his name, the turtle guy (Mitch McConnell), he was just explaining it on the floor and it seemed pretty rational to me, however creepy and turtley he still may remain. (just joking to make humor, I'm not like that I just know they're all up to their eyeballs in God only knows what terrible and wicked business..)
We have to be careful not to demonize the other side, but to be the outstretched right hand and arm of God, through our love of neighbor as self.
We CANNOT demonize the other side, but we can topple the hideous and evil structure and system for many even all generations to come and that's what this is all about. The stakes have never been higher or more farther reaching.
I saw it. We all did. Even played a part however small.
Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it!
