!!! Shutdown Predictions Thread !!!

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!
I have been posting for almost a year now that I'm mostly outta gafs. That hasn't changed.

Do not let the bullsh!t get you down. That's what the powers that be want. They want you to stop giving a f*ck so they can screw us all over without any dissent. We can have our lighter moments. Go for it!

it's why politicians get paid during shutdowns
it's the only one's they care about, themselves
 
Looks like you didn’t like my answers.

Stings, eh?

;-)

Why would your non-answers sting? I'm just asking you to make some predictions. What bother to comment on this thread if you don't want to? Are you that enamored with me that you have to follow me around even on threads that you are afraid to really contribute too? I mean I'm honored that I play such a big part in your existence but you should really try to expand your horizons. Go ahead - play the game as listed in the original post. No one will judge you. and if you just stick to answering the questions and refrain from your typical inane comments there won't be anything there for people to make fun of you about.

Nah, your delusions of grandeur lead you to believe that when people mock you it’s a compliment.

Anyway, I look forward to crowing about how prescient my answers are.

As I mock you some more.

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.
Trump actually said "if I don't get all I want then I'll shut down the government" and he now blames the dems.
 
Hi gang! It's @PNWest - America's BEST American and the most Impartial and Bipartisan as well greatest poster here or anywhere else on the internet here to brighten up your day on Day One of the Federal government shutdown.

Just because the morons in Washington are too stupid/incompetent/evil or whatever to govern doesn't mean we can't have a little fun. So let's us all gather in a totally bipartisan manner and play !!!Shutdown Predictions!!!



First question - How long will the shutdown last?


Second question - Which side will capitulate?


Third Question - Who will the voters blame?
First off, I gotta make the following observation here:

Bugsy and Middleview are a misanthropic “package deal”. These two are so very nearly the same person that I hesitate to refer to them individually. They inevitably appear TOGETHER in threads, both manufacturing whatever unrelated subject they choose. They don’t just threadjack…they threadjack poorly. And therein lies my beef with these (and several other) PJ stooges. If you must insist upon being forever contrarian, head-hanging Eeyores…BRING SOME BLOODY WIT. Say something clever at least ONCE in a while. Be funny. Don’t be bots. Don’t be uninspired. DIAL DOWN THE DRONE. I pop into this thread, decide to take them off ignore - and sure enough…off topic robotic servitude to party and nothing else. Sans any hint of personality or wit, of course. The two of them are friggin’ Jane Hathaway in stereo. “Mr. Drysdale! Mr. Drysdale!”. Thankfully, these non-entities are back on ignore. They drastically drag down IQs with their every [utterly predictable] post - those posts, btw, have all the spice of a Monday evening LDS potluck.

Now then…the main event. I bring zero insider knowledge here, but what I lack in DC intel…I make up for in pol-loathing across both sides of the aisle. I’m the only guy I know who cheers for government shutdowns no matter who is in power.

Shutdown duration:
NOT LONG ENOUGH!! (Ok, I know you want a real answer). I’ll go with 8 days.

Who caves:
While I have no clue, that isn’t what makes this difficult. The fact that neither GOPers nor Dems are animated by any real principle is what makes this tough. Is it really caving in or capitulating when your insides are nothing but rich, velvety nougat…errr…craven manipulative, emptiness? I’ll say the GOPers offer up something.

Who gets the blame:
Normal people are now numb to blame assignment. MSM will work hard to affix it on Repubs. Alternative media will be mixed. Braindead loyalists will blame the “other”. Probably Repubs end up bearing the brunt of it…but I think “the brunt” ain’t much.

I blame the democrats.

Reason being… we Republicans hold the house, senate, and Supreme Court. So clearly unwanted things happen due to the democrats.

How is this
Trump actually said "if I don't get all I want then I'll shut down the government" and he now blames the dems.

Unrelated to the shutdown and who is to blame? Your inability to avoid insults and focus on the topic is a constant.
 
I blame the democrats.

Reason being… we Republicans hold the house, senate, and Supreme Court. So clearly unwanted things happen due to the democrats.

And it’s the Democrats’ fault that the Republicans flatly refuse to negotiate.

Some things are obvious.
