A shutdown doesn’t have any effect. It’s an Idiocracy illusion. These are the most worthless people in human history. End the government.
Throw the bums out, abolish the FED.
Dont give into the Democraps Kevin thats what they want! Shut it down if need be!!!!
OH MY GOD,…..DISNEY LAND……I'M SORRY…..MORE IMPORTANT THINGS THAN DISNEY LAND!!!!
We’ve been here before. It needs to be done to stop the path we are on. Period.

Stop funding Ukraine. If they can't hold their own, so be it.
The current government doesn't care about you. They only care about their priority. That's manipulating you.
If we don't go to work, we get fired. We don't get paid. Should be the same for them. Period.
Shut it down completely and for good. Make America free again.
Yes OK happens family all brother and sister and Family All freedom family all investment in police free family all brother and sister and Family All freedom family all investment in police free family all also history first Family All brother and sister and Family All freedom family all investment in police free family all I mean family all investment in police free family all PEACE OK THANKS
The longest government shutdown in history, the second and final federal government shutdown involving furloughs was during the presidency of Donald Trump, starting midnight on December 22, 2018, until January 25, 2019, lasted 35 days!! Now private citizen, Donald J. Trump, is ordering his Republican Fascist Party to SHUTDOWN the government again!! Trump is a Traitor!!
They repeatedly try to trump any progress and when opportunities like debt ceilings and budgets come due they want to shut it down. Shut the obstructors down with your vote in 2024.
Congress and the President still get paid.
“BUT”
The Military and the rest of us have to suffer.
That’s not fair at all.
If we have to suffer.
So should Congress and The President!
This is why the credit rating agencies cut the US AAA (triple-A) rating, the next cut won’t probably be just a level, but 2-levels or more, the funny thing is, I believe Congress is still being paid during this shutdown, so, no skin in the game, look both parties need to cut their spending, Democrats need to stop trying to subsidize the whole US economy and Republicans have to stop the unfunded tax cuts, and that's just the start to solving the big picture, the US National Debt problem
It is not that bad; the sky is not falling. Federal employees will not even miss a paycheck unless the shutdown goes past 10/12. Very few Americans will even see a difference until after that date.
I think there should be a severe consequence if you are in capable of continuing your job of running government then you should lose your job immediately. And be replaced by someone far more competent.
FUN FACT!!! CONGRESS STILL GET PAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't that the point. To make everyone and everything more miserable except for themselves. The silver lining is supposed to be that we all get to watch them bicker endlessly while getting nothing done.
Close the border
THREAT OF GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. ….WHAT A JOKE!!
AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE PAYING UKRAINE TO KEEP THERE GOVERNMENT OPERATING, PENSIONS… PAYING SALERIES OF FIREMAN, POLICE, MUNICIPAL WORKERS, EVERYONE! !
AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SUBSIDIZING UKRAINE SMALL BUSINESS & FARMING…..PLUS PAYING FOR THE WAR…
DEPLETION OF AMERICA ASSETS FOR POLITICAL CRAP!!
AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE HURTING & THIS ANTI AMERICAN GOVERNMENT DOES NOT CARE….
MTG KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK……TRUMP 2024!!!
Meanwhile billions have been sent to a corrupt government in Ukraine. Think of all the good we could have done with that money helping our people and solving problems in our own country.
Shut it down
Federal govt does nothing for Americans.
Guess what? We don't care. The government has been ripping us off for the last two years. So the government can see what it is like to go without.
It won't shut down. Never happened, never will. I'm actually hoping it'll shut down but I doubt it. Shut It Down!!!!!!
Since the war began, the Biden administration has directed more than $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine.On September 6, 2023, the Department announced an additional $90.5 million .Stop the WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😂 What kind of parent takes their kid to Disney World? 😂
