My prediction…

No matter what happens, or when it happens, or how it happens, you will blame the Dems for the madness brought about by Trump and his GOP stooges.

So your predictions are:

Q1: NEVER
Q2: n/a
Q3: n/a

The markets are up…all is well in Trumplandia.

No news there.

In a democratic society the legislature makes the laws.

In Trumplandia, Dear Leader Trump makes the laws. His stooges in the Congress and the SCOTUS happily let him do so.

I remember Fox and trump himself claimed the "markets" were not a indicator of a good economy...

 

[PNWest]

This is true. The markets have already priced in what they think the effects of the shutdown will be.

You've got a working brain unlike someone who's name rhymes with Mugsy.... How about some predictions as asked for in my OP.

I've deliberately refrained from posting my predictions so far because obviously they would unduly effect people's answers.

Third Question - Who will the voters blame?

We're so far out from the 2026 midterm that I'm not sure it matters who they blame now. Circumstances will be different in November 2026.

Of course all of this is yet to be determined. But you can get out your crystal ball and make a prediction. It doesn't cost anything. And your guess is as good as mine what the answers to the questions are. It's like getting a free raffle ticket that raffles of something inconsequential! No cost to anyone.

I'll post my predictions later today. Maybe I'll be right, maybe I'll be wrong. Jump on it - the waters fine!

It’s fine to point to rising markets when other economic metrics are also rising, but that’s not the case now. Currently, the market makers are confident that Trump will continue to take care of the fatcats no matter how much the working class gets screwed.

Come on BD - play the game! While a very astute comment that none of this will matter until 11/26 let's live for the moment!

If true, you have nothing to be concerned of, you don't work.
All could have been avoided if repubs would have just given dems $1.5 Trillion

3 dems voted with repubs, needed 8

It’s not as if it’s a tough question - Republicans will blame the Dems and vice-versa.

But the reality is this - it takes a willingness to compromise to avoid shutdowns. Dems have that willingness and Republicans (Trump really) do not.

Your psychotic delusions are second to none.
