"I think we have a problem, because I think we're going to probably end up in another Democrat shutdown," Dummkopf Trumpf whined on TV tumor Maria Bartiromo's Faux News program. "The [prior] shutdown cost us a lot, and I think they'll probably do it again. That's my feeling. We'll see what happens," he sniveled.

Lawmakers in the House and the Senate have until 30 Jan to avoid a government shutdown. So far, they have passed six out of the 12 appropriations bills needed to fund the government. Last week, the House passed an additional two-bill package known as a minibus that would fund the State Department and the Treasury Department. Senators will take that minibus up after they come back from their recess next week.

So far, there appears to be little appetite among Democrats for another shutdown.

However, the DHS appropriations bill has become a significant point of contention between both parties.

Democrats in the House and the Senate have called for an overhaul of ICE after Jonathan Ross killed an unarmed woman in cold blood in Minneapolis. Democrats say they will oppose the DHS bill unless it includes tougher oversight and conduct guidelines for ICE officers.

The last government shutdown began at the start of October and lasted 43 days. That shutdown was over extending Affordable Care Act subsidies.

The ICE Sturmabteilung will probably be funded through budgetary chicanery in the event of a shutdown.

The potential government shutdown won't affect the Trumpf junta from sending hardworking American taxpayer dollars to the Israeli Death Forces (IDF).

US aid to Israel is classified under security-related funding, which is often exempt from shutdown-related freezes. Junta apparatchiks have confirmed that all funding to Israel remains unaffected during these shutdown periods, ensuring that lethal military aid continues to be used to ethnically cleanse Gaza and the West Bank of Palestinians.

On 20 January 2029, POTUS Gavin Newsom, VPOTUS Nancy Lacore, USAG Letitia James, D/FBI Jack Smith, USSECSTATE Zohran Mamdani, and D/CIA Ralph Goss will have their hands full fixing America after four years of wanton Godzilla-like destruction by Dummkopf Trumpf and his nefarious cabal of good-for-nothing sycophants, racists, and wealth worshippers.
