Shouldnt there be chaos?
The government shut down Dec. 21 over Sen. Chuck Schumer and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi petulantly not wanting Trump to have any border wall funding. The federal government spends $4.4 trillion a year; the $5 billion Trump wanted is one-tenth of 1 percent of that. About the same percent that Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren is Native American.
If you are like me, you are more worried about government starting back up than it being shut down.
Who will open our open-air national parks? Who will answer the phones when we call? Who will give us the runaround at the IRS? Who will put us into intractable wars? Who will use the Justice Department to go after political opponents? Who will put us $22 trillion in debt?
Most of NASA is shut down, including the division that we pay to monitor to see if aliens in outer space try to contact us. I trust they put their "Out of Office" message on their email before they went home, in case aliens contact us.
Shouldn't there be chaos? Why are you not looting Target for a flat-screen TV? Who will let me know when the panda cam is back on at the Washington Zoo?

Someone FINALLY put the cost into perspective! The cost of the Wall is effectively the equivalent of a rounding error in the overall budget. Too bad Trump, et al never bother to put things in perspective. Instead, yak... yak... yak...
who’s the cottage cheese in the pink bikini?
db increase in whining.
Burkini needed.
My Apolitical Wife had no idea that the Government was shut down until last week when she heard me mention it while Posting here.
She doesn’t listen to the DNC Media or watch anything on TV except for Animal Shows or Investigation Discovery type Shows.
She can tune out my ranting and raving with ease, but she slipped up. LOL
Wait, the Democrats are in Puerto Rico during the Shutdown?
Shouldn’t they be out volunteering to help the poor ravaged Hurricane Survivors there?
There’s 800,000 employees we don’t need to be paying for.
Negotiating a price for services. Not underage by a long shot at least.
The way the economy is rolling along these government workers should be looking for a real job. Oh wait! I forgot, if they are getting paid for not working during the shutdown or while actually on the job I guess that is not a good recommendation. Sorry, I lost my head for a minute.
Democrats On Vacation. Film at 11.
Oh, wait everybody - I found something that isn’t working!
I went to the NIST site to look up the magnetic variation (declination) in Florida - and it was shut down:

Ya gotta know some Gummn’t plick punched the OFF button before he walked out the door. No big deal - it only changes by 0.001 degree per year - I’ll interpolate.
Shut almost all of it down and turn out the lights. Most of it is unconstitutional anyway.
“SOMEBODY SHOULD NOT
be wearing that particular style of bathing suit. Just Sayin’. “
Not to worry, Menendez turns off the lights. It’s better for both of them not to have a good view. I just imagine that they both have a problem with body parts that droop substantially.
Stop these bastards pay!
The Energy Star website is down too. I needed that for work. It was down so I moved on to my next task.
How about the US Coast Guard?
