Federal employees can't take vacations during a furlough, unless your name is Jared or Ivanka [View all]

[Soph0571]

Now that Donald Trump has shut down the government— “proudly” he said---in a vain attempt to fund his 2,000 mile beaded curtain, millions of people are suffering. Some more than others. If you are a federal employee lucky enough not to be furloughed, the United States Office of Personnel Management has made it pretty clear that vacations are a no-go during a furlough.

But Trump’s feckless, Antoinette imbeciles are either too dense or just too out-of-touch to care. To use John Kelly’s words, they are just “playing government”, so they figure the rules don’t apply.

It’s true that Jared and Ivanka are “unpaid” for their roles---unless you count the $82 million they made in outside income since taking their positions. (Funny how that happened.) But they are still bound by the same ethics rules as everyone else. If you are going to profit so handsomely for being complicit and doing absolutely nothing, the very least you could do is follow the same damn rules that actual dedicated civil servants are following.

Of COURSE they don't have to follow the rules - Princess Pushy and Prince Prat
