More time to shut down wasteful programs and to fire unnecessary government employees.

What happens when the shutdown goes into week 8 of a 7 week spending bill? We are only a month away from that, and the SNAPpers would have nothing on their plates for Thanksgiving. Groceries and convenience stores everywhere will be clamoring for paying customers.

I give it to 11/6/25. By then there will be riots in the streets over no ETB cards and Chuckie will be hiding!

Guys like Thune live by polls so hopefully this news will help them stand strong.

It will end when blacks are slaughtered in the streets for looting.

As I see it, the longer that the shutdown continues, the more that people will come to understand that we neither need or can afford this bloated, parasitic Federal Leviathan.

My daughter is a Civil Servant for the DoD. Her specialty is computer security. She was declared essential last week. She’s working for no pay.

She is not upset, good conservative woman!

In the past if anyone felt the effect of a shutdown, it was because the Democrats went out of their way to make it painful. They’d rent barricades and use more people to keep something closed than were needed to keep it open.

I keep forgetting there is a government shutdown.

It hasn't affected me at all.

For the first time in my life I’m affected by a shutdown.

I bought a two-way radio that requires a FCC license. But since they’re closed I can’t get the license. On the flip side, FCC isn’t working either so…

I believe the air traffic controllers are making an error by causing disruption. They are making the argument to privatize the ATC system like the UK and Canada.

The Longer The Shutdown Lasts, The Better

Certainly not for everyone. I've got some farm business to take care of with the fed, and I can't do it as long as the government is shutdown.

nearly 70% of the government is on autopilot

It's NOT a "shutdown". It's a brown-out.
