I'd have better odds at picking the winning lottery number...

When the moon is in the seventh house, and jupiter aligns with mars.

3 days after those DC officials find they can't fly anywhere.

My hope is that happens when they are in DC.

The White House is open but nothing on the desk to consider.  The wing nut liberals want The Don to negotiate with himself.

What the lowest amount the owner will take? Same thing, owner being asked to negotiate with himself.

What are you paying the winner?

No predictions. No psychic ability. 

I wouldn't even bet on when I will get back to work Will Hamm 

By Valentine's Day. The Eclipse will have cleared orb.

I saw a post elsewhere wondering if this is DJT's way of seeing how dispensable some of the nonessential agencies are with an eye toward phasing them out . . . an interesting thought.

Sadly, it is Congress who is truly nonessential and getting more worthless with every election. YMMV hotties.

No idea but this is just silliness at this point. Can we get a new government while this one isn't looking? 

Nope!

Hmmm, I'm starting to think we don't need The Congress at all.

No idea, but they need to get busy working on it and get it done soon.

I'm no good in guessing....

I think it's pathetic.... fed jobs are not as desirable as they use to be....

No.

I heard on the news today that the President has asked for a forecast of the impact if the shut-down lasts into the Spring.

High level gamesmanship is going on.

Tell me when a married couple will agree with certainty....

We don't make bets...A

When Trump takes some leadership responsibility.

I hope soon, there are people suffering over it....

No clue!

No idea. But I hope it's pretty soon. 

It doesn't appear to be in the very near future. 

Dump Trump 🤡 and then 5 minutes later.

Soon I hope for all those poor people who are suffering without an income and have payments due.

When Nancy Pelosi either 1) stops acting like a child and remembers when the Democrat party (including both HER and Obama) were calling for increased border security AND a wall; or 2) the people of California wake up and tell her "Nancy YOU'RE FIRED!" with a recall vote.

I am a day behind here

When he said/she said stops and people think with their minds and not party affiliation. That said, dysfunction and wasteful spending will be underway shortly

Later today or tomorrow it sounds, at least until 2/15 according to the news of 1/25 at 11:30pm PST.

good question.....

Since I am a libertarian I wish never!  I wish all of government would shrink and leave me alone!  But who knows - It is not a comfort to find out the people representing you are all babies that can't compromise in any way.

As soon as Trump stops having a hissy fit , stomping his feet like a kindergartner because he can't have his own way... He cares nothing about the thousands of people who are suffering financially, not to mention the security of the country which is being compromised.

With zero common sense in concgress these days, it could take a while. Clean house and start over. But for now, I would like to see them meet in the middle. 

When the law makers stop acting like children, then act as adults.  That may be difficult for some

if Congress didn't get paid and had to stay and work until the problem was solved it would already be over. I cannot believe the Dems took a 3 day weekend and most left town today. that is disgraceful. 

I'm not a betting person but I'll hazard a guess.

On an even numbered day in an odd numbered month when Mercury is in retrograde and the moon is full.

Some are saying "When h_ _ _ freezes over...

When do you think, Will Hamm?

No.

Nope, about a bad of a bet as investing on a Motley Fool double down.
