I keep seeing the justification that the government employees not getting paid are nonessential. Should protection for government officials be removed then? Or should they just keep working for free?

Oh is this the cute gotcha mentally ill talking point of the day?

Funny, I didn't see anything about Obama's protection when he shut it down.

You and your ilk's desire to have something bad happen to Trump and his family is quite sick.

Congress isn't working for free.

Trump is only getting $1 a year, that's practically free. He's closer to the furloughed workers in terms of government pay than Congress is.

The OP referenced government officials. The Service protects more than just the the Trump family. I understand you think only Trump is government. Spoken like a true Trumpkin.

Trump lives in a government-funded house with paid government funded utilities eating government-funded food. Basically like welfare.

They aren't working for free. Essential security personnel is still getting paid.

You may be confused re: essential vs nonessential. Essential employees are required to show for work whether they are paid or not.

They are not working for free. They will get 100% of their pay, along with all the other government employees, and you damn well know it.

Trump gets his full paycheck. He donates it all to various charities.

No, you don't. You think the SS protecting the President is nonessential personnel?

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. There are LOTS of people working without pay.
