Congre$$ pay should be the first to end anytime the gov't shuts down.

Yeah their portfolios are better preforming than people convicted of insider trading. Their pay should matter; they should have everything in blind trust during their service
But this shutdown thing, CNN has legitimately lost their minds. Go to the front page of CNN. It's got a count up for how long this ongoing disaster has been. They actually have stated that this is causing NASA to stop monitoring asteroids for potential impact. We have no plan for that anyway, jesus. If Reagan's schtick was "it's morning in America", Trump's is "it's almost midnight" and it's clearly worn off on CNN
And jdhurf, it's called being cheeky. He can do that. He does think highly of himself and his intelligence sure, and vastly overrates both, but good god it's a joke

I really can't see how a clock is a problem? If it shames even one of those unthinkable f**k into doing their jobs, so be it. If not, f**k 'em anyways.

It's hysterical. It barely matters short term that it happens. The bigger problem is lack of budget for long term spending, not lack of continuing resolutions

How is it hysterical? It's a clock. Relax.
I mean...maybe an animated gif of the capitol building being repeatedly hit with nuclear weapons while everyone on the street descends into looting and cannibalism would be hysterical?
But a clock? It's just measuring time, man. There isn't even any particular connotation beyond "let's see how long these dipshits keep this up". Which is appropriate.
The headline on CNN as I post this is "SHUTDOWN STALEMATE". Which is exactly what's happened. It's not hysteria. And recording time isn't either.

THEY WERE SCREAMING ABOUT IT
WE'VE GOT BREAKING NEWS FOLKS. NASA WILL BE UNABLE TO MONITOR ASTEROIDS THAT WILL HIT EARTH. IS ARMAGEDDON HAPPENING??
The title of things now is no longer screaming but I think they are just so pent up about everything they can't even

Honestly, Galt, you've expended more energy about this than anyone else I've seen so far.
Considering this outrageous funhouse mirror version of America we've suddenly found ourselves living in, I think people are taking things in stride about as well as can be expected.
