 I'm sitting in the waiting area at a hospital. CNN is on. They are talking about the House GOP-led hearing on Hunter Biden. Before this, they talked about the GOP debate. 

They spent a total of two minutes on what seems to be a likely government shutdown in 72 hours. 

And not once in this conversation about the Hunter Biden hearing did anyone mention "Hey, THIS is what they're doing when we're three days from a shutdown?"
