No, the elimination of Individual Unemployability at retirement age is in the 2018 President’s Budget. Personally, I don’t think that provision will survive. ---

Who’s going to be sending the most insane tweets this week, big daddy orange or the trump tykes? The latter have started strong with [“Democrats are not even people”](https://www.yahoo.com/news/eric-trump-says-those-oppose-055326322.html). Too bad bdo can’t be sent up for perjury or even making false official statements. His own tweets are evidence. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > No, no no no no no no. No. Do not think this, do not ever think it, it isn’t true. It will never be. Truth. 1 of 11 Germans alive in 1939 were dead by 1945, and Hitler _still_ had to remove himself from power. I don’t think that Trump will ever go below 30%, and it’s hard seeing him approach that number, even. ---

What are you, a fucking moron? There’s the door.” I can see people working in the administration believing that they may make a difference, or at least be a whistleblower or leaker, and those could be noble reasons to keep on in a trump admin. But, at this point, it is definitely time for those who do not have a particularly good reason to be loyal to trump himself to be evacuating the sinking shit. > [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > Not sure about vets but it could sure screw a lot of VA employees out of money. [url=[How different is the new VA accountability bill from other attempts? Depends who you ask](https://federalnewsradio.com/congress/2017/03/different-new-va-accountability-bill-attempts-depends-ask/)] Interesting tactic to keep employees in line. It is one thing to fire someone and leave them without an income with which to pay their bills. This sets people up where not only do they need to worry about losing the jobs, but also their savings and could potentially put them into heavy debt. Easy enough to justify. If I am firing you now, then you must have had poor performance in the past that you hid from me, or I would have fired you then. > [@Princhester](#): > > Where I practice it would not be uncommon (for example) for an employer to agree to pay the bills of employee’s private counsel, where it is appropriate for reasons of confidentiality etc for the employee to have private counsel but it is also appropriate for the employer to assist with funding. Would that not work in the US? If an employer is paying the bills for an employee’s private council, who is the lawyer actually working for? If they are being paid by the employer, then I would be concerned that protecting the employer would be their priority over the employee. I am not sure of the legality or the code of ethics take on it, but I do know that people are generally more loyal to those who are writing their paycheck than to those who aren’t. ---

Trumpelthinskin has now wrestled his phone back from his keepers, and [tweeted out a statement](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/06/09/trump-fires-back-twitter-comey-leaker/102662990/) that Comey is a dirty rotten liar whose testimony has completely vindicated him. ---

It lacks a certain something, though. Like it was generated by an intelligence more artificial than Trump’s. ---

No exclamation points? I’m dubious. Besides, there’s no way Trump could’ve extracted his thumbs from the Chinese finger trap this soon. ---

So to Trump, concealing that he broke the law is paramount. Leakers are worse for actually informing on him, and he says that publicly. Doesn’t he get yet that every time he whines about leakers, _it attracts more attention?_ ---

So he was cleared by someone who was lying? Like usual, anything remotely positive is to be taken as true, and anything negative as a lying lie by a lying liar. Sane people know it’s the opposite. ---
