Will the govt shutdown Nov 17

[dclarston13]

So it seems like there is very little reporting on the potential shutdown. I did read the latest bill was pulled by the GOP. These GOP clowns can't find their asses with both their hands, so that does not instill confidence. Tempering my thoughts, a shutdown would be bad for an assortment of reasons and any sane reasonable politicians would extend the budget to avoid the dramatic consequences. I'm just not so sure they wouldn't do it out of spite or meanness.

1. The employees of the Federal Government think so.

Talk to anyone who is a Federal employee as to whether there will be a shutdown. Short answer: “Yes.”

2. I have heard very little, if anything, about the budget deal.

It seems the media is consumed with Israel/Palestinian conflict. Not anything about Ukraine either.

The House is nothing more than a collection of despots who could care less about this democracy.

5. They will release the budget

tomorrow.

11. Heard something

about it on some national news, but it was barely a sentence.

3. A shutdown is a feature, not a failure of their plan

They want it. They aren't trying to avoid it.

What they are flailing at is what kind of poison legislation they hand to the senate.

12. +1

4. There are people who haven't fully recovered from the last GOP govt shutdown.

Dingbats like MTG & Gaetz, chortling about shutting the govt down, these are not serious people & yet they have the numbers to do serious damage.

6. When SOTH is off to Europe for a right wing global meeting

it kinda shows where his mind is at. Not too worried about the people that will be affected by this shutdown. He got his.

8. No. Just one persons opinion.

[Bettie]

9. Of course it will

that is the plan. That's why they are spending all their time performatively voting to reduce salaries of everyone they can think of to $1 a year.

They will get paid, and they don't care about anyone else.

NOTE: I am speaking of Republicans, in case that wasn't clear.

[Rebl2]

13. Hope they

include their own salaries. Actually the republicans in house should have their salaries zeroed out. They do so little with their time, they should not be paid.

[spanone]

10. Our media doesn't seem interested and republicons don't appear to care.

14. Rethuglicans are agents of turmoil and suffering

They're pretty open about it. I strongly suspect the government is going down this time, with Johnson's help.

[LudwigPastorius]

15. All signs point to YES.

The GOP shitbags in the House have absolutely no problem with damaging this country and the people who rely on government services.

[maxsolomon]

16. Probably.

The press will start to hammer this on Sunday or Monday. There's just too much else going on.
