May all the Oaf's problems be big ones, and the events of this week at least be the beginning of the beginning of the end.

That's an interesting piece, Gump.

Let's hope that this documentary is viewed widely.

McCain sounds alarm

I saw some advance publicity for that and heard the producer discuss it. It sounds .... very interesting. I'm hoping it's widely available too

I'm wondering whether HRC should do more of these? (To counter the slice of the population who really believe that her day job was in the pizzeria.)

When is the last day before the '60 days' kick in? (Pre mid-term.)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump cancels pay raises for most federal employees set to take effect in January, citing budget.

NEWS: President Trump says he's eliminating a pay raise for civilian federal employees slated for 2019 in order to "put our Nation on a fiscally sustainable course." twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/1035206729770917890/photo/1

Federal employees pay the cost of the tax cuts. 'Teas ever thus.

And Carter's very possibly stolen second term and subsequent two Reagan terms certainly contributed:

Can't help wonder: Why today? This is the 1st time Trump has (falsely) suggested any impropriety over his Lester Holt interview, which aired 15 months ago—an interview in which he said he thought about "this Russia thing" when he fired Comey. Why make that false claim today?

The president estimates that the 2019 federal employee pay raise he's scrapping would've cost $25 billion.
For context, his tax law is projected by CBO to cost the Treasury an average of $190 billion each year for the next decade.

Replying to @sahilkapur
I question those WH numbers. There are just over 2M full time federal civilian employees. $25B / 2M = $12,500 per person. There has never been a $12.5k federal pay raise.
@CraigChild
"Locality pay" is $25B. If I understand this correctly, locality pay is paying people in high cost locations more to cover their higher cost of living. Every company does this. Removing these differentials will cut pay by 25.7% - can you imagine losing one-quarter of your pay?!

I'm guessing the Oaf's guts are being squeezed by the week of attention to, and lauding of, John McCain. The funeral on Saturday will be like a hot knife to his psyche. In that deep, dark, empty, place, he must know that the depth of respect and love being shown in the way McCain is being memorialised, will never be afforded to him.

Anyone?

Apologies to babies and toddlers.

Not funeral on Sat., memorial service.

The actual funeral is on Sunday, I think?
