Drain that thar swamp! Drain it good!

While many federal workers go without pay and the government is partially shut down, hundreds of senior Trump political appointees are poised to receive annual raises of about $10,000 a year.

It's a farce that Congress still gets paid during the shutdown. Different rules for them I guess.

Par the course. You saw how they flipped out when they were going to get the same Obamacare subsidy as the average joe using it

You must have not read your own article.

Quote:The raises appear to be an unintended consequence of the shutdown: When lawmakers failed to pass bills on Dec. 21 to fund multiple federal agencies, they allowed an existing pay freeze to lapse. Congress enacted a law capping pay for top federal executives in 2013 and renewed it each year. The raises will occur because that cap will expire without legislative action by Saturday, allowing raises to kick in that have accumulated over those years but never took effect, starting with paychecks that will be issued next week.

Should have passed a spending bill the President would sign.

democrats don't even have an argument other than "Give in to us, then we'll negotiate."

Uh yeah, okay.

The tides are beginning to turn. Like I said a week ago, the fake media could only do the dems' bidding for so long. It's becoming obvious who is negotiating in good faith, and who isn't. The Republicans are going to win this fight.
