Will the government shut down tonight?

"Shut down the government" is easy for me to say, because I am not a federal employee. But if you're a person with any common sense, you will worry about the real-life implications of a shutdown. For example: what are gonna be the consequences for families who depend on the government employees affected? 

I remember when Obama was president, the right-wing couldn't wait for the government to shut down. But now that Trump is president, the right-wing is not so sure.

As for Trump himself, yesterday it was clear he didn't know what the hell was going on. Trump actually tweeted against the GOP short-term spending bill:

"The bigger drama for much of the day was whether a collection of defense hawks, along with conservatives in the House Freedom Caucus, would band together to sink the bill on the Republican side. Complicating the leadership’s effort was Trump himself, who tweeted in the morning his opposition to including a long-term extension of CHIP in a short-term spending bill. The White House was later forced to clarify that the president supported passage of the bill to avert a shutdown."

In addition, Trump & the GOP want to blame it all on... Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer? However, we all know republicans (& their factions) control all levers of power. "The Editorial Board of the "Boston Globe" put it best:

The Editorial Board of The Boston Globe:

“The real problem seems to be that G.O.P. factions — deficit hawks, military hawks, Tea Party zealots, pro- and anti-immigrant legislators, President Trump’s various personalities — can’t agree on a deal among themselves.”

Besides the actual CHIP program, we all know DACA is another bargaining chip. Unfortunately, if a government shutdown doesn't kill DACA, the Trump administration's DOJ is asking the supreme court to do it:

"The Justice Department on Tuesday said it would take the "rare step" of asking the Supreme Court to overturn a judge's ruling and allow the Trump administration to dismantle a program that provides work permits to undocumented immigrants raised in the United States."

Less than three hours from a government shutdown, we'll see who blinks first.
