Unless things change the gubment will shut down at midnight tonight. Social security and disability checks will not be stopped so retirees and the disabled won't be punished. Some things will shut down. Some folks will be out of work and not paid for the duration. Some folks will work without pay. All pols of course will get theirs. Don't they always? A fine year-end gift courtesy of the prez entirely. Yep. He said he would be proud to take responsibility for a gubment shutdown because the wall is all and without the wall life is meaningless for him and his base and all the toady sycophants who adore his face! How will he suffer? Not at all. What d'ya expect fer cryin' out loud?
