Forwards from grandma.
1. Gimme a break, stop wasting everyone's time.
2. Big ole nope, keep your religion to yourself and out of the public space.
3. Done already
4. Who cares
5. Good luck with that. Congress writes and polices their own ethics.
6. Done already. English is the international language of commerce.
7. Huh? Can anyone translate this nonsense?
8. Giant waste of money only advocated by people that own drug testing companies. Been proven to cost more than it saves.
9. Don't help the poor, I'm sure that won't lead to increased crime.
10. Ok, I guess not really a big deal
11. I assume this is about foreign aid, foreign aid is very cheap diplomacy that pays itself back tenfold.
12. Fix it how?
13. Does anyone not?
As usual, no help, no solutions....just griping!

Trump Is Bleeding The Secret Service Dry

Over 1,000 agents for the United States Secret Service have already hit the salary and overtime caps allocated for the entire year, USA Today reports.

According to the paper, this is largely due to Donald Trump’s decision to split time between multiple residences and vacation frequently, with each of those trips costing a small fortune. The Trump administration has also placed 42 people under Secret Service protection—18 of whom are family members. From USA Today:

The compensation crunch is so serious that [Secret Service Director Randolph “Tex” Alles] has begun discussions with key lawmakers to raise the combined salary and overtime cap for agents, from $160,000 per year to $187,000 for at least the duration of Trump’s first term.

But even if such a proposal was approved, about 130 veteran agents would not be fully compensated for hundreds of hours already amassed, according to the agency.

@realDonaldTrump is hiring people of color actors to support his PHX rally to pardon #SheriffJoe. Here's the jobs he is bragging about.

That compensation cap seems low anyway. Only $160k to take a bullet?

Perhaps, but the raise they're discussing isn't actually about raising their pay, it's the combined cap for pay and overtime. It's about compensating them for the huge amount of overtime they have to work to protect Trump on all his vacations and golf outings. If he'd sit his spoiled ass down and do some work in Washington they'd be able to pay their people.
