What are the chances that dump/mcturtle will cause another government shutdown

if the impeachment gets too close or an investigation/reporting brings out some critical facts?

I wouldn't put it past the peeResident to pull any stunt whatsoever in order to try to save his hide. Especially if it means wrecking the US.

The most recent one left some "essential" functions in place. I suppose a more draconian one could effectively stop investigations.

Trump will start a war to divert attention away from an investigation getting too close to the truth.

I've been thinking that the minute impeachment proceedings start,
we will be at war.

The new Budget is stalled over who gets disaster funding and we know what Deranged Donnie is refusing to fund.

And a looming shut down will happen.
