Let it go.

I lived through shutdowns while in the military in the eighties. Our military will show up for work even though the Congress has not worked since Newt was last speaker.

When it actually happens, the Slimes will work at it, and re-write it to be the exact opposite tomorrow, next week, next month... and write it enough times that all ‘Rats will believe and tout their new narrative that it’s the Repub’s fault.

I did notice then that getting in and out of DC on the roads was a lot easier. Less traffic, kind of nice, actually.
