ok everyone so it looks like the government is shutting down, I remember this from a few years back but for anyone wondering this is what it boils down to, I live in DC so I get to talk to alot of officials and workers this effects:
1. the government cannot spend money it has not appropriated, this means either by taxation, loans or other means. so if there's no budget officially they have no appropriations to spend. as such the US federal government shall issue no payments until a budget is approved.
2. essential personnel, including the US military and DC workers shall be retained at work with promise of back pay to keep the US from falling to shit
3. non-essential personnel, such as several personal friends of mine who are contractors and bean counters for the fed, shall be sent home with no pay, however salaried and those under annual contracts will likely receive payment after the funding is approved
4. several years ago the mayor of DC declared all city workers essential to keep DC from shutting down (again) because last time DC became a wasteland, like with trash and shit fucking everywhere it was chaos
5. the budget will likely be fillibustered every time it is submitted to the senate because fucking democrats, thus it has to have the vote of like 60 senators to work
so what do you faggots think, is tomorrow the day of the rope?

sounds interesting, but I'm not entirely sure. I wasn't impacted at all the last time it happened (probably since I was on the other side of the country), but the political climate was different then as well. Depending on how long this goes on for, it could end up building tensions further, but I don't see it going into a full-on shitstorm unless something major goes down during it.

I think the Democrats will block the budget and shut down government. Then they will bitch an moan over the government being shut down blaming Trump and Nazis. Antifa will be embolden and Niggers will chimpout. Hopefully the police will use the time to crack down hard on illegals, antifa and cimpouters cleaning the streets of them.

No, but I wish it was. Doesn't the government spend extra when it's in a shutdown? That's what I heard. Either way we need to sell Southern California to China to pay off all of our loans

Of course.
I remember the last shutdown what they did with the airports. None of the politicians could get home because the air traffic control was shutdown down. So the House and Senate penned an emergency bill by hand to fund the air traffic control. Most politicians literally give no shits about the common folk, just themselves.

They're basically trying to copy what Republicans did during the Obama administration and use DACA the same way the Rs did with Obamacare repeal. They hope that they can use this issue to keep their base fired up, plus they're probably going to try to blame the shutdown on the Republicans anyway.

it's basically like this, they're trying to keep the people on their side by blaming the republicans for not playing ball with them (the way they made the obamacare vote out to be) there's nothing in particular about this that they've pointed out they just want to be noisy bitches

That's four votes I just secured for Trump in 2020. More, if they tell their friends any of this. And since they stopped their shitty anti-Trump memes, they aren't going to liberalize any normie kids on that amino app.
It's basically leddit but for phones and designed somewhat more competently.

I really hope the Republicans opt for the Nuclear option. Democrats and leftist will have a tantrum like never before. But I think for maximum saltmining yield they should perhaps wait until the end of DACA is close at hand without a solution or negotiations on it due to the shutdown. Then enact the nuclear option and let DACA expire for good.

The best thing for them at this point is to just keep acting like the adults in the room. Be willing to make a deal but not on the unreasonable terms the Dems want. Either a straight budget with no immigration provisions, or if Dems want to stick to their guns on the DACA issue any deal would need to include full border wall and border patrol funding plus an end to chain migration. They probably won't go for either one and will keep sperging, which will be funny to watch and will also likely hurt them in the long run, especially if this memo drops between now and November.

True, I also think the Democrats will keep the shutdown going for as long as they can. DACA is three weeks away (or something like that), and I think Democrats will drag it as close to that deadline as possible. Either they find an agreement i.e. full finance of Border Wall and Border Protection or DACA will expire.
