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!
What does happen? If Trump’s people are being paid, the SNAPpers (like that term!) might see the ‘Rat leadership as impotent, and blame them.
Guys like Thune live by polls so hopefully this news will help them stand strong.
EBT cards run empty AND on that same week:
....Donks lose 2 off year elections—or barely squeak by in blue states in which they traditionally win—and it finally hits home.
America is not with you, they’re with MAGA. Schumer Shutdown is on the Donks. Time to open it up before it gets worse.
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.
This is the best part.
After the so-called shutdown ends, we still have to deal with Congress’s refusal to end their use of baseline budgeting...
“SNAPpers would have nothing on their plates for Thanksgiving“
Ghettopotami can survive months without food. They’ll be fine.
Not so fast...look for desparate Ghettopotami ...they do NOT know what a fast is, and their feeling starved will have them lashing out, imho.
Donks? Are we using the urban meaning of big wheel cars? If so self explanatory, and a good use of the term!
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!
From your keyboard to God's ear.
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.
More time, also, for the “Resistance” to work its way through the court system.
It hasn't affected me at all.
If I had any control over a retail store anywhere where the EBT crowd hangs out, I would prepare for 11/1 by moving most inventory to warehouse and be in readiness to react within minutes to:
- Close the store with everything of any worth locked up;
- Barricade the doors with vehicles that are hard to damage or already worn;
- Have pre-made banners hung as staff are sent home saying “Closed; no EBT” or some phrase that might get it through looters’ heads that there’s nothing to take, maybe; and
- Assure staff that for the duration you’ll pay them for shifts they can’t work (otherwise someone will accidentally forget one of these security steps).
Any PD that doesn’t pre-position forces at likely looting areas ready to decisively act has leaders that want the looting for D optics.
