Stop with the bullshite spin. You keep making it sound like they're losing this paycheck entirely.

Well call up ole Chuck and Nancy and tell them to appropriate the funds for the border wall. You know, like they did when Obama was in office.

Should the Secret Service stop protection?
How about should the Secret Service stop responding to bank robberies? Yeah, you probably didn't know SS is the lead agency on bank robbery or forgery of cash did you? SS has a slew of jurisdictional seniorities not often mentioned.

I'm not confused. You misinterpreted the OP. The justification I keep seeing is we don't need the employees not getting paid now. We can do without them.

Democraticunderground told him. And he believes it.

Trump lives in a government-funded house with paid government funded utilities eating government-funded food. Basically like welfare.
This is a terrible statement to begin with, but Presidents pay for their own food unless it is a state dinner.

The WH living quarters are 9000 sq ft. Even at the high end of yearly maintenance which includes the yards and gardens, it costs around $260,000 to cover the costs of the living quarters (low end is $123,000). If Trump was allowed by law, he would be taking no salary. So, if it was up to Trump, the country would actually come out ahead in the deal.

No, you don't. You think the SS protecting the President is nonessential personnel?
Are you simple or something?
Where did I say the SS was nonessential? I said the justification is we don't need the employees who are not getting paid. There are essential employees, SS included, who are not getting paid. It is being justified that everyone not getting paid is not needed.

I think there are a large # of employees who are "nonessential" right now in the fedgov that are not needed. But, i'm not a nanny stater, like yourself. And nonessentials going 3 weeks without a paycheck is fine with me, if it means stronger border security.

Which ones. Name their positions. What are their jobs, who are they protecting, what are they protecting?

Again, see above.

Your thread is so STUPID, and the question so ridiculous, that it deserves no answer.

Congrats. You were successful on getting some attention, which is WAY more than you must get IRL.

Only the protection for ex-Presidents and First Ladies like Black Jesus, Hilldawg, and Slick Willie.

No numb nuts, the people on wellfare do, which is who he was saying Trump is more closely comparable with than Congress is.

I don’t know of the SS is getting paid or not. I do know several SS guys (haven’t talked to them recently to know pay situation) I can tell you they would still work and they also are responsible enough to go without pay a cycle or two.
Especially given the fact they will get paid it’s just a matter of when.
