At Midnight Tonight,The Federal Government Will Shutdown. What Will You Do?

[hal ogen]

Who cares? It has been “shut down” about 15 times in the last few decades. So what?

[StormEye]

The Federal Government practically shuts down every weekend
and guess what -- virtually nobody notices.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Nothing. I don’t even fart after about 10:00pm.

[neal1960]

I’ll be waiting on Q for further instructions.

[windsorknot]

Immediately pull the perks and pay from useless Congress critters.

[ConservativeMind]

The Administration gets to decide.

[yoe]

Seems to me that the plus side of this is always the respite from our lawmakers...."(From October 1, to October 17, 2013,) the United States federal government entered a shutdown and curtailed most routine operations because neither legislation appropriating funds for fiscal year 2014 nor a continuing resolution for the interim authorization of appropriations for fiscal year 2014 was enacted in time. Regular government operations resumed October 17 after an interim appropriations bill was signed into law."

"During the shutdown, approximately 800,000 federal employees were indefinitely furloughed, and another 1.3 million were required to report to work without known payment dates. Only those government services deemed "excepted" under the Antideficiency Act were continued; and only those employees deemed "excepted" continued to report to work.[2] The previous U.S. federal government shutdown was in 1995–96.[3][4] The 16-day-long shutdown of October 2013 was the third-longest government shutdown in U.S. history, after the 18-day shutdown in 1978 and the 21-day 1995–96 shutdown."

Haven't heard the MSM mention this....by the way DACA's 800,000 are only those Obama let in....they are in the Millions....DACA cannot stand as it is. What you hear is a total lie about the number, the jobless, those on government substance.....This Trojan Horse of the Left, is far worse than imagined. NO DACA!!!!

[gathersnomoss]

Send everyone packing at 5PM, one box...fully vetted before exit. Buh-by

[nh1]

How will Mueller continue his special investigation without funding?

It’d be such a shame to see that put on hold for a while.

[gathersnomoss]

But what about ‘The Panda Cam”? Oh, the humanity....

[MeganC]

I’ll be embracing the increased levels of freedom and liberty that we’ll enjoy as bureaucrats and tyrants are forced to take some time off from oppressing us.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

I’ll celebrate the fact that the government, for the moment, will not be taking more control of our lives.

[Jhadur]

Pour a shot of Crown on the rocks and remember how wonderful it is to live in America, write an email to Jumpin’ Jack Bergman (my duly elected rep) telling him how important I feel it is that he expose the treachery of the FISA memo and hold the line on DACA, and busily enter an assembly language program in my Apple II emulator whilst thinking of new ways to implement social Darwinism!

May you all have a great night.

“I will gather my family in a storm drain.”

You win!

[TnTnTn]

You mean Trump isn’t going to agree to give the demonrats 3 million legal voters and pay for everything for them from cradle to grave?????

[grobdriver]

(I really DO need to go see a urologist.)

Yes, you do.

Rapaflo! - But you'll not like your sex life...

[Vendome]

I’ll prolly sleep well...

[antidemoncrat]

[pgkdan]

What if they shut down the government and no one notices? Or cares?

That'll be me!

[SkyDancer]
