passing of Jimmy Carter? If true, are you kidding me and for this former POTUS, no less.

I don't ever remember this happening - it may and I missed it...

And some wonder why every day folks get weary over the antics involving public servants .. politics, pure politics

Took 15 seconds to find and copy this:

WASHINGTON, DC - As the Nation mourns the loss of President George H. W. Bush, President Trump has taken official action to allow Federal employees to join their fellow citizens in remembering our 41st President of the United States. The President has issued an Executive order to close Federal offices and excuse all Federal employees from duty for the scheduled workday on Wednesday, December 5, 2018, except those who, in the judgment of the head of the agency, cannot be excused for reasons of national security, defense, or other essential public business.

It would have been more appropriate if the gas stations had closed.

I bet the postal carriers in DFW right now are happy because of the snow. They get a 4 day weekend.

My post office was absolutely devastated by President Carter's passing. I hope this day off allows them proper time for healing. It's going to be a rough road ahead for these postal workers.

Got to have empathy for those Federal employees who were 18 during his last year that are now 63.
