Bitching about Federal workers getting a day off. Just how many fucking days a year are the senate working each year? And bet your ass they get paid for 365. They even damn sure continue getting paid during the non stop GOP shutdowns. They get paid not just by our tax dollars but CEO and Putin bonuses throughout each year.

Yep. It is. "DemocRAT" They never refer to "the Democratic Party" or the Democratic Senator. nt
