When they took those jobs with the government, then knew full well this was a possibility. They accepted the risk.
Time to man up.
Many times, in the real world, people take a job and join a union.
At some point, they go out on strike. No pay. No benefits. They are pawns of the union, an organization that represents them. Whether it does or doesn't.
Suck to be pawn.
Find a better job next time around.

Am thinking this is going to end 1 of 2 ways...
1...republicans in the senate start fearing for their re-election lives and will have to bring up current bills to the floor and then over-ride a veto...
or
2..Some smarter than average federal employees organize a NATIONAL strike across ALL federal jobs afflicted by THIS bs....
or
perhaps there's other ways other poster's would care to postulate about?
But that's my 2 cents worth....

It ends when Trump caves or is overridden.
Same way it was always going to end.

What would that prove? No one can feel sorry for people in a financial jam if they don't know which department they work for?
Or are we only allowed to care about people in select departments?

It won't prove anything.
Just curious if anyone really knows what "services" we not getting.
Feel sorry for whomever you want to.
When Trumpster wanted something, they started a GoFundME page.
You could try that.

you fail to understand republicans are for this so no, none of the republicans in the senate will fear for their re-election.

Sorry, Sammy - that was in reply to a post by Ely, not you.
I must have hit reply instead of quote.
I gave you some rep points as a peace offering. Lol!

those predictions aren't worth much. you had this thing over before end of last week. keep guessing away though, sooner or later you'll get it right.

Okay...

Checks 538...
If he wants to keep tanking his numbers... whatever... its funny to me.
If you think his not getting off this train sooner is getting one over on me... that's even funnier...
Keep riding it Donnie!
