Even though the government wouldn’t really all shut down, that doesn’t keep the Democrats from convincing the dimwits in our country otherwise.

Can’t “shut down” because it’s already shut down. Most of these Gubbermint clowns have had their brains shut down for years.

They might have to work for delayed pay. Bureau of Prisons do.

I believe that in any gov “shutdown” the 1st thing to stop should be congressional pay. To include their staff.

Not really the Executive Branch's call.

Then President Trump should have vetoed every one of those funding bills unless they contained a portion of his 5 billin minimum he wants for the wall. He also missed a big opportunity to get two weeks worth of his 5 billion in the continuing resolution. That would be over 192 million

It’s all a joke anyway. Affected personnel will just get paid vacations. BS!

He missed a big opportunity by not prioritizing the wall two years ago—and not “shutting down” the government at the first budget battle.
