Dems preparing for prolonged shutdown
By Niv Elis - 12/17/18 11:55 AM EST

House Democrats are making plans for a prolonged shutdown that will begin Saturday if the White House and lawmakers are unable to work out an agreement on President Trump’s demands for $5 billion in funding for his wall on the Mexican border.

“We're making contingency plans for a long-term shutdown,” said one Democratic House aide, who pointed to the possibility that the partial government shutdown would last into the beginning of the new Congress, when Democrats will take over the House majority.

“If the shutdown goes until Jan. 3, we'll bring up a funding bill,” the aide said.

Democrats, after they take the House majority, would likely be able to pass a bill funding the government with no money for Trump’s wall. Republicans would hold the majority in the Senate, and it’s unclear what they’d do since they would need some Democratic votes to overcome a filibuster in that chamber.

No one will notice. 75% of the Gov is funded thus 2019. 
Shut. It. Down.

The longer non-essential services are shut down the less we will miss them!

In the mean time have the Army Corp of Engineers start building the wall. Why wait any longer?

Exactly.
Glad to see I'm not the only one promoting this idea.

The democrat-communists will SCREAM and try to stop it in the courts.
I predict they will fail in that regard.

Let's get it a-goin' ...
