Brace yourself, America: the federal government has been shut down. Congress will no longer be able to pass any bills and all federal agencies will grind to a halt. But, there will also be some very serious consequences.
Here are the 7 most terrifying:
The Capitol cafeteria will not be able serve Ted Cruz his customary afternoon Ho Hos: Devastating.
That department you've never heard of that does nothing for you will be furloughed: You can kiss the Commission on Overseas Native Fisheries goodbye.
Government workers will lose thousands of hours of sleep they would otherwise be getting at work: No one wants to sleep on their own time.
Rand Paul will be intolerably giddy: He's so annoying when he gets like that.
AOC will have to go back to bartending, but she doesn't know how to make a rum and coke: It's a tough recipe.
Instead of shopping online while "working from home," government employees will have to shop online while furloughed at home: Brutal.
No one will be able to unlock the restrooms at Yosemite National Park: It is literally impossible to evacuate your bowels without government support.

Probably quite well.
Although I did hear that they are keeping the NPS open as last time a lot of people took advantage of the empty parks and did a fair amount of damage.
Somehow, we will survive...
But we need more laws.
I do hate closing parks and monuments because it is 100% unnecessary.
They cancelled the Blue Angels at Fleet Week in San Francisco this month! I’m surprised Hegseth didn’t tell them to keep all shows going.
O the Hugh manatee! Countless Fed drones who take all day to move one stack of papers from one side of their desk to the other are staring at the bedroom ceiling wondering if the ride is over.
Bring out Gloria Gaynor for moral support or at least play a record.
Who will count the gay frogs in the local stream here in Eastern Oregon?
If this continues any longer, I will be forced to do “Whiskey Before Breakfast”!
National parks are still open
Penguinsix took photos of Day 1.
Government offices closed signs, a flyover and JD in the Press room.
A lot of office/cubicle affairs temporarily interrupted.
He needs to cancel all of the Navy ships going to San Fransicko Fleet Week.
The bottom line is : Who cares?
Many government “employees” are pathetic slackers and do nothing positive for US Citizens. I can’t bring my self to describe these parasites as government “workers”.
