    They are paid on a scale known as the GS scale. Each year of service, they get automatic raises. Promotions would not be automatic but all in all they are well paid.

    Yes, it is interesting how you didn't see Trump mop the floor with those two.

    Nancy mentioned in remarks to the media after the charade in the WH the reason she suggested the meeting be held off camera was to spare the Nitwit-in-Chief the embarrassment of being told he is clueless about the facts, the details, or really anything relating to reality regarding border security or the pertinent votes for such in Congress.

    It appeared to be more that she did not want the public to see what was going on. I would think she would be in favor of Trump looking bad.

    Please! Trump was adamant about the wall and Pelosi didn't want to be on record as opposing it. You can't spin it any other way, it was a live beat down.

    He should have told Cryin' Chuckie', "Hey *********ker, I am the President of the United States, and you will NOT speak to me this way in MY office."

    It is not his office though. It is our office. His office is in Trump Tower

    I've lived through many "government shutdowns". Never once even noticed them.

    Nice to see you don't miss an opportunity to turn a discussion into a barb. And I see, now, why you are a Trump supporter.

    I'm sure the democrats were going to offer trump a bribe behind closed doors and that's why they didn't want to debate in public.

    This isnt true. The step raise is every 3 years, not that much money, and they cap out at step 10. So there are no guaranteed raises every year, and the raises feds do get dont come close to matching inflation. The benefits are nice but feds dont get paid as well as you think.

    Maybe Trump finally understands that his base couldn't care less if the government shuts down.

    The totalitarian left are the ones who can't sleep at night without the government tucking them in. Once a republican figures out that the lefties can't live without the government, the more we can dictate things.

    Yah I hoped one of the workers would show up. By the way, is the line gone now that the jobs are filled?

    The next 2 years are going to be Glorious, with Dame Nancy using Trump as her Whipping Boy.

    Dame Nancy = The Goddess of Shade.:salute:

    That, as you can see, is up to interpretation. What cannot, however, is the information Trump provided in front of the cameras. Please explain to me who the ten terrorists are who were caught at the border. What are their names? Where are they from? Also, can you provide an proof of the wall that has just been built in San Diego? And, finally, can you provide some further information about the contagious diseases that people have brought across the border? Has there been any CDC warning or further information about how far they have spread?
