Could they squeeze it until janaury 21st? Even January 20th actually. It'd be hilarious to see the goverment shut down on inauguration day so Trump's special moment is taken away.
How delusional and petty are people to want this? Peoples lives that live paycheck to paycheck are at stake because of this and you are getting upvoted because you believe that this would somehow affect trumps ego negatively.
You know what actually happens if it shuts down on Inauguration Day? It even more deeply entrenches people’s vote for trump. They will say “look Biden and the democrats couldn’t even keep the country running, good thing Trump is president now”. And guess what, people would still show up, but this time of no one is working in government they will finish the job they started on J6.
I wonder what rights will try to be stripped away to pass this.
The only drawback is that the inauguration would still go on, with all the people working it unpaid and the price of everything doubled once it's finally tallied up months later. So it would make his special day MORE special in some ways.
