(2,276 posts)Hes so unabashedly partisan, and he has been a very effective Republican shithole. He usually stays behind the scenes; he has done more damage to our democracy than anyone else, and he cares nothing about fairness or facts.

(1,124 posts)honest to God! What they say happened is not what I saw happen last night. Why do they keep calling it a bipartisan agreement? Didn't seem that way to me. They keep saying it's about immigration ... it's about DACA you idiots! What is wrong with the media? Why aren't they calling out these lies!

Park Service personnel and TSA agents are mandated to work without pay. Many of these same folks have not been made whole from 2013 shut down.

(34,661 posts)time of service wage changes happened during that time and they were never compensated for wage increases. The numbers involved were not that great, but they had to eat it only to be froze in place without those wage bumps.
