My concern:

What if TSF allows the Government to shut down -- and it doesn't restart anytime soon?

Then it's more than a national emergency. It's a world emergency.

is that Democrats strike a deal to fund the government without getting anything in return 'for the good of the country.'

The Administration is staffed by people who spend all their time thinking up ways to screw Americans.

"I know! Let's put 100% tariff on pharmaceuticals! Just for kicks!"

"I've got one! Let's hire thousands of unqualified people as ICE agents. Let them wear masks and make them totally unaccountable for any actions they take! That will own those damn libs!"

"Let's gut funding for rural and poor hospitals! Let the NPCs die!"

Even if we give the Republicans everything they want to avoid a government shutdown, they will continue to create chaos and hardship for Americans.

To them, nothing is beyond the pale. Nothing is sacred. Nothing is "too far". They want us screwed so badly that there is no going back to what we have known as normal.
