Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner traveling during the Trump shutdown means Secret Service agents who are not currently receiving paychecks missed Christmas with their families so they could escort wealthy nepotists with no conception of public service. https://t.co/n2Elabfb5g

I looked for confirmation that Secret Service agents protecting Princess Ivanka and Princeling Jared are unpaid and couldn’t find any, but if that’s true…oy.
oh. my. god. Trump posted a video to his Twitter account after leaving Iraq — and in doing so, he gave up the location and identities of SEAL Time Five members who are deployed on a covert special ops mission. https://t.co/yUy8XrWMYX

Wo.
What next – “Oops I tripped and launched the nukes”?
Is he Lloyd Bridges in a fat suit and mask?
“What next – “Oops I tripped and launched the nukes”?”
Trump clearly missed his vocation: he could have had a bigger career in horror movies than even Boris Karloff or Lon Chaney. With titles like ‘Frankenstein in the Rocket Base.’
Coming to a city near you.
Now here is a law for future consideration, indeed just to be safe make it a constitutional amendment, In the event of a government shutdown, the secret service will be stood down first That might concentrate a few minds.
Nogbert,
That wouldn’t bother Trump one bit. I think he was miffed that he had to take Secret Service protection instead of his own band of privately-hired thugs to begin with.
Not sure how serious your proposal is, but it reminds of ones I’ve seen suggesting that members of Congress shouldn’t get paid if there’s a shutdown. Which sounds great at first, but effectively it would only burden those MoCs who aren’t independently wealthy, and we should be making it easier, not harder, for those kinds of people to serve.
