Fuck You Trump And Fuck All Of You Who Support Him Still

Wow, what can I say that hasn't already been said. If you still follow this man you deserve to be screwed hard by him and don't worry, he'll get to you eventually unless you are part of his cabal. You are such fools to allow this to happen one day longer. American is full of selfish cowards so no wonder nothing ever changes. I am ashamed of you all.

Trump officials to get $10,000 raises as federal workers struggle to make ends meet during shutdown.

Senior political appointees in the Trump administration are set to receive annual raises of roughly $10,000 — while hundreds of thousands of federal workers impacted by the ongoing government shutdown go without paychecks. Vice President Pence, cabinet secretaries and their deputies are slated to see a bump in their next payslip thanks to the expiration of a salary freeze that began in 2013, the Washington Post first reported Friday. A measure keeping the cap in place was included in spending legislation that passed by Democrats on Thursday, but Trump and Republicans in the Senate have said that they will not back those bills. Cabinet secretaries will receive a jump in annual salary from $199,700 to $210,700 while their deputies would be entitled to a raise from $179,700 to $189,600, should legislation continuing the cap not get passed and signed before Saturday, the Post reported. Pence’s pay will jump from $230,700 to $243,500. The bonuses for top tier Trump officials comes days after the President issued an executive order effectively freezing pay for rank-and-file federal employees at current levels. Federal workers were meant to received a meager 2.1% bump before Trump nixed the increase.

Don't bother. The truth doesn't matter to some people. The capacity to think and come to logical conclusions has been removed from their brains.

I agree. I hope they feel the full force of the shit trump is pulling on everyone - haters and supporters alike.

If you looked into this, you'd see Trump has nothing to do with it. Once again, you're allowing yourself to be thrown into a sputtering lather over propaganda. You deal with culture, you should understand how media works. Sheesh.

Be mad at congress.

The raises are happening because the usual vote to keep them from rolling through did not happen. The Exec Branch likely has no power to stop it even if they wanted to.

Is it your opinion that all of the remaining 75% of Federal employees shouldn't get raises, bonuses, merit pay? Or is this isolated only to ones who make you grumpy?

BTW, Federal employees are still being paid, all of them. Their pay cuts don't happen for a few days yet when the first payday of the year comes.
