Americans: how long do you think the shut-down will last and how will it end?

I'm not asking what you want to happen but what you think will happen. To me, it seems that it could go on a long time because both sides are committed to a position. I guess it's a binary choice: you build a wall or you don't.

We're in uncharted territory because we have a president who doesn't give a damn how much damage is done to our economy dues to his stuborness and because there are too many Trumpets in the U.S. Senate who can prevent a veto override if a bill gets passed that Trump doesn't like.

So, yes, this could go on for weeks.

My guess is that the airline industry will start feeling the pinch first because TSA workers are among the lowest paid government workers right now who are [b]NOT[/b] getting paid - and therefore likely will be the ones more likely to quit. Can the TSA hire replacement scabs? But even a scab wants to get paid and the TSA coudln't pay them either. So the result will be longer and longer lines. And security concerns will rise.

Of course, it really could all be a mute point.

If border wall funding is passed but Democrats win the White House in 2020, it will get scrapped in 2021.

I don't have a problem with Pence finishing Trump's term.

He'd do a better job the next two years than the current occupant of the Oval.

@silmarilion456 Some globalist, lining her pockets. Makes one wonder where all that money they have came from, seeing as how they claimed to be broke when they left the White House and had to steal furniture.
