Yes military won’t get paid, but they still have to work.
What about stretch limo drivers?
Catering and Cafeteria workers?
The last time there was a shutdown, Obama did all he could to make it hurt US.
This time, I hope Trump makes it HURT THEM
Yes, the military is the one that will suffer, but the rats couldn’t care less as long as the illegals are protected.
I was gonna say something as well but figured why bother.. figured he wouldn’t get it anyway.
Make no mistake, this is a calculated Deep State attack on our military. Prayers up for Trump’s safety and that our Secret Service and military (if need be) protects him regardless shut down status.
Yep. They can play their games but Trump has twitter and his own voice to speak over their trifling games.
Then just tell the people the gov’t will open when the democrats agree to a fair budget or CR.
The GOP tried this against Clinton and lost. Time for Trump to beat up the Democrats with this.
Everyone will get paid their “back pay” once the Democrats finish holding their breath till they turn blue in their temper tantrum.
Tell the critters they are also non-essential and their pay will be suspended as well, and they will all belly up to the table to vote for a STCR a few minutes after getting the news.
Holding American citizens HOSTAGE so that FOREIGN INVADERS can be rewarded.
SICKENING.
Yes it should include you. Unfortunately that’s life. If a construction worker can’t work because of weather no one pays him.
The military are still working though without pay. Now if you were to work while not getting pay then absolutely pay you, if not take leave or comp time to cover your missed work. in fact, Comptime should be required to use before anyone even makes a hardship case to get paid. And yes if you used comptime or took leave then you should get paid.
That’s exactly what they are doing.
The Democrats are in panic. They see up close that the events are unfolding that mean destruction on a massive scale.
The government shut down is to hide the events preceeding the impending doom..
“It takes 51. Let them filibuster. I hate that defacto 60 vote horse hockey.”
Can’t go nuclear because it is only temporary.
This is perverted.
All to distract from the 4 page memo.
Verb - Shut down
Noun - Shutdown
Not saying to go nuclear. Just make them actually filibuster.
Uh...read his post again. And yes. We in the military will STILL be working. I’ve worked during every government shutdown. Civilian employees get a paid day off basically. We work. He is suggesting I should not get paid for my work. Do you HONESTLY think the military would just get to sit at home during a government shut down? You don’t know much about the military do you... Do you think our deployed guys in Afghanistan get to just stop working? The guys on the ships in the Navy at sea? Lol. No. But that is what the poster was suggesting. Hence my post. Think a little.
Active military yes they should get paid. Gov’t employees (non-uniform people) who sit at home and don’t go to work...they should not get paid, but can take leave or use comptime.
