    What is the point of being scared in a government shutdown when Trump is currently dismantling most major services workforces?

    Chuck is a coward and doing the work of his donor class.

      The dismantling goes into overdrive if they send all the juges who can stop it on vacation. I really want them to shut it down but I don’t think it would help.

        The bill has a poison pill – it allows Trump to shift funding. So yes, judges on vacation bad, but the bill effectively authorizes the behavior of the meme department.
