So, Ivanka Is Going to Be A Federal Employee?

Great! Now she can try to live in DC on a GS-9's salary, pee in a cup 3 times a year, and worry about whether Daddy is going to give us all a 2% COLA adjustment this year!

To uphold the Constitution and defend it against enemies foreign and domestic. Although, at this point, I'm not sure if Daddy Drumpf is foreign or domestic!

or accept meals from hosts when traveling. She'll have to disclose all her holdings, too, once a year to ensure there's no conflicts of interest.

I worked for far too many years for the Feds from Social Security to the U.S. Army to the VA. I had a secret clearance and it was not an easy thing to come by ... fingerprint, fingerprint, fingerprint Ivanka!! It was a crap job and after 10 years at it I went out as a GS-6, not a GS-9! Let her start from the bottom up like I did, a GS-2 living in San Francisco? Good damn luck!

They gave me .07 cents a mile to drive MY car to places they wanted me to go to. I hope she has to do this as well and yeah, she can piss in a damn CAN for all I care!!!

It was 35cents/mile when I retired, but, of course you have to fill out a travel claim voucher to get paid.
