All signs point to the Dems’ profound terror regarding what’s about to hit the fan.

Poor democrats. They are just starting to figure out that the House has no power whatsoever by itself. The Senate can confirm Presidential appointments without the House, but the House cannot do bupkis without the Senate.

Could that be . . . EXTORTION???

In the meantime, they want the officials to talk to their idjit staffers instead of them. Similar to how the Republiwussies had a female interlocutor asking Christine Crazy Ford questions during her “testimony.”

I think it is about time to launch a special counsel into the Democrats Rape Payout Slush Fund.


I’ve been pleading for this for well over 12mos.
All trump has to do is leak the threat of it.

Federal law prohibits an employer from withholding an employee paycheck for any reason. The Society for Human Resource Management indicates the Fair Labor Standards Act requires employers to pay employee wages on the next regular payday for the previous pay period. Various states have different laws regarding when a terminated employee must receive his paycheck.

According to US News & World Report there are several prominent misconceptions regarding employers withholding paychecks. Many people believe their bosses have the right to delay or reduce payment based on allegations of poor performance. However, federal law prevents employers from withholding or docking pay based on performance under any circumstances. Additionally, employers cannot withhold paychecks in the event that an employee damages company equipment. Some states force employers who are late in delivering paychecks to pay additional funds as a penalty for being late.

well, Congress appropriates funds BUT the Executive Branch has many many many MANY millions of dollars available in multiple accounts that can (and will) cover a few workers’ wages

(and such redirections or subventions are perfectly legal, authorized by Congress and already in the law, for a number of accounts) so...
not to worry...

this is all must more of the DNC’s Big Lie and Propaganda Bullsheit Blitzkreig
