Bah Humbug!

Dov Fischer writes at the American Spectator about the government shutdown,

...Nothing has changed, and nothing is going to change. The furloughed federal workers all will get their back-pay in the mail as soon as the Government reopens. Mueller will keep doing that thing he does. His funding reliably is there, if he likes, through January 21, 2024. The House Democrats will have no problem getting federal payments made to their dozens of investigators and lawyers as they ramp up the next two years of non-stop investigations into Trump’s taxes, Trump’s hotels, Trump’s golf swing, Trump’s hairspray. The Democrats still will have the money to fly to D.C. every Monday morning and to fly back home for weekends. The shutdown is all a big nothing. Or, in the spirit of the season: Bah humbug.

...So let the Government stay closed, even for a year, even for two. It does not matter. Let the House Democrats investigate for two years; they would be doing it anyway. If they dare vote for impeachment, it never will pass the Senate, and the voters will make them pay for wasting two years, blocking the Wall, and accomplishing nothing.

And if G-d forbid anything crosses that southern border that causes damage any time during the next two years — more opioid deaths, more human trafficking, more MS-13 animals, weapons used for terror, or terrorists themselves — the lack of that Wall will tumble down on them.
