In Trump's twisted mind, maybe that's what he thinks!
The fact is that the FBI, Department of Justice, and the courts are still funded and have been well in advance. As for The White House, if this shutdown lasts long enough imagine what will happen when Trump's own staff are no longer getting paid. Sarah Sanders will probably be the first to quit!I don't care about the NASA space program. I always felt that was an unnecessary taxpayer expense. What's strange about that is that Trump wanted a "Space Force", and now that's even less likely to happen! I'm much more concerned with food safety. We need the FDA first an foremost!
The crack in the dike here will be once the billionaires are unable to get on a commercial flight, when the air traffic controllers lose their pay and their jobs! Maybe then McConnell at least will act. It's a damned shame the Senate doesn't allow a forced vote. Even the U.S. House has a Discharge Petition option.
