That is something worth negotiating a fix for immediately. Well, that's what Trump is working on. Once he gets what he wants, he'll consider releasing the hostages he's taken. Trump needs emergency powers so that he can give Trump what he demands, so that Trump can solve the crisis which Trump created.

spjunkies Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 This gets even worse for me. I looked on my SF-50 and I'm FLSA exempt so I wouldn't be eligible for any compensation. Sucks 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearrock Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 On a more fundamental level, wouldn't essential personnel being forced to work without pay be involuntary servitude and therefore violate the 13th amendment? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 i would mention that the republican party is about to be culpable for deaths that result from that diversion of funds, but they clearly don't give a **** either way 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight the F up, that does not sound like the move of someone intending to get re-elected. That's not dumb, that's political suicide, Florida is the swing state of all swing States, who told him that was a good idea? There's no border in Flordia and Coast Guard running out of money?

It's my understanding that essential personnel will be compensated for the time worked assuming the government ever reopens. I'm hopeful that the people who are home will get something back.

On a different note, so 5 billion only gets us 215 miles of fencing? This is what Trump is shutting down the government for? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/heres-what-5-billion-in-border-wall-funding-would-buy Quote According to DHS officials, the funding would cover the construction of 215 miles of “wall system” on the southern border. What that system would include is a matter of debate. But DHS officials say it could cover the replacement of “dilapidated” fencing, new wall sections and secondary wall structures, as well as roads and lights for Border Patrol agents.

They are probably counting on (when a natural disaster strikes) getting more money to replenish the funds, and then if the dems don’t play ball, it’s bad optics on their part.
