The demolition derby known as the longest government shutdown in history may end soon. The game of political chicken wrecked a car each day as Senate Reds and Blues refused to veer from their crash trajectories. Each day the Senators exited the wreck, seemingly unscathed.
Election Day 2025 showed there to be internal damage as the public increasingly realizes our leaders care not about us and feel no pressure to show up and do their @#%&*!#$ jobs.
The team in charge of all three branches of government? Independents fled from that group, the one they supported just one year ago. Hispanics turned on their new party, repulsed by the government's treatment of Spanish speaking people with brown skin. The Red team dismissed instances of U.S. citizens, even military veterans, being detained for days with no charges.

Congress should be feeling serious heat from constituents to do their job and fund government of the people, by the people and for the people. That's not government of the policy making billionaire, by the policy making billionaire and for the policy making billionaire (PEU/TechGods/CryptoBros).
Update 11-9-25: Trump II golfed on November 1st and again on the 8th. He is golfing again today, for the eleventh time since the government shutdown began.
The Senate reached a deal to end the government shutdown and a vote this evening will show if that deal passes. The vote is currently underway according to the Senate live feed. One vote remains:
It will be the deciding vote. There must be some serious offers being extended to this Senator.
The final vote was a Yea, the bill passed and the end of the shutdown may be in sight.
Update 11-13-25: Trump II's SBA Chief went on CNBC to offer nonsense regarding the shutdown. She blamed the Blue Team for not caving sooner while Trump golfed and worked to keep the Epstein files from becoming public.
