When my son was at UK he was sent an application by the FBI, and it was for people who were about ready to get their degree. (It takes them 6 months to a year sometimes to do complete security clearance and background check too).
The very idea of Trump "studying" is hilarious. But I'd heard he was spending the weekend golfing - which I figured was his way of dodging the snub of being told he wasn't wanted at McCain's funeral.
There are so many hilarious things about this, culminating with these three:
1. Who believes Donald is capable of "studying" anything, much less during prime golf time?
2. If he was going to "study the issue," why didn't the idiot do it BEFORE opening is greasy piehole?
3. His quote is already distancing himself from it - now it's not him who doesn't want to do it, it's these mythical "people" - nice lie, way to be a man of integrity and own his words.
Prediction: Populist Trump is going to do an about-face on this soon because he discovered it doesn't play well with his popularity, which is his only guiding principle, after giving it 0.3 seconds of "thought" before blabbing the first time. Quintessential Trump.
If you think this is real leadership, you're probably dense. He'll probably be this cavalier and off-the-cuff when he launches a nuclear war one day.
I'm curious as to why Dems on this board mandate that we need to sift through 90% pointless emotional vomit to extract any point whatsoever when they begin a thread.
I wouldn't be so cavalier about the press being a propaganda tool of the unelected Federal bureaucratic machine in this country, enough to affect Trump's decision. The press already has an image issue, and trying to undemocratically control policy of the guy that was elected doesn't help.
total baloney, Obama froze fed pay 3 years in a row. Didn't see anyone changing votes over it.
Obama inherited a recession and didn't give huge tax cuts to the rich. Trump claims the economy is booming because of him. So he has no excuse for not honoring these raises to the middle class. Why do you think he's rethinking this decision....he will lose a lot of the middle class vote.
Then why the heck did he bother to let the information get out there that he was going to cancel the pay raises in the first place?
Sorry not buying it.
Once again he spewed off at the mouth & then only when told it could hurt the mid term election of republicans did he back track once again.
Only Now does he think of it when it could hurt his numbers.
How do you people NOT see what he does?
And what the h### does Bill Clinton have to do with Trump 'studying" anything? Aren't you sick of constantly bringing Obama and the Clintons up to deflect?
He had a statutory deadline of Friday to announce a pay plan, or else a 2.1% across-the-board increase in General Schedule pay, along with increases in locality pay averaging over 25% would have gone into effect for 2019, in accordance with the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act of 1990. A pay freeze was already mentioned months ago in the President's annual budget proposal, so this was just following through on that.
His announcement regarding federal pay had the desired effect: it focused attention on the sloth and greed of government “workers”.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Trump's "announcement" had no effect whatsoever. Just like his announcement that North Korea is no longer is a nuclear threat, or his announcement that Mexico was going to pay for a border wall. Zero effect on anything. He just flaps his jaws and moves on.
I'm curious as to why Dems on this board mandate that we need to sift through 90% pointless emotional vomit to extract any point whatsoever when they begin a thread.
If that's how you feel I'm curious why you didn't skip it and move on!

^^ pointless emotional vomit..
How does the "Federal bureaucratic machine" get to "undemocratically" control what happens with the pay raises? The hell does any of that mean?
Hint: there's this thing in this country called "The Congress"...they have the real power to pass budgets...
