      XPost: soc.culture.usa, sac.politics, alt.politics.democrats       XPost: alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, alt.gossip.celebrities, talk.politics.misc       From: democrat-criminals@mail.house.gov              https://nypost.com/2021/02/04/biden-teams-family-leave-low-blow/              In a startling cheap shot at its predecessor, the Biden administration has       denied already-approved paid family-leave benefits to several Trump       political appointees.              Vanessa Ambrosini, who worked four years in Trump’s Commerce Department,       got approved for three months of parental leave when she and her husband       welcomed a child a week before Christmas. But when President Biden took       office, she discovered she was no longer granted the benefit, Politico       reported.              “I got completely screwed,” she said. “There were no caveats in that       language saying anything about if the administration turns, you get       nothing, and of course, that happened and so I got nothing.”              Several other Trump officials also lost their benefits. The White House       declined to go on record, but an official told Politico that political       appointees “do not enjoy the promise of federal employment past the end of       the administration in which they choose to serve.”              And sure, fair. But these employees were told the Biden administration       would honor their approved family leave, only to find out at the last       minute it would end as soon as Biden was sworn in.              The anonymous official, according to Politico, also cited Trump’s failing       to execute a quick and orderly transition. And that seems to be the nugget       of it: Trump’s political appointees are guilty by association.              There’s no precedent for whether or not to honor leave in such       circumstances, as the paid-leave benefit only went into effect in October.       But Biden tweeted in praise of the law in 2019, saying it was “about time       that federal workers get paid parental leave” to “address their own health       needs or care for any of their loved ones.” Is there any other       circumstance where liberals wouldn’t want a generous interpretation of       family-leave rules?              This petty vindictiveness doesn’t auger well for Biden’s vows to heal the       nation’s divisions.                            --       "LOCKDOWN", left-wing COVID fearmongering. 95% of COVID infections       recover with no after effects.              No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.              Donald J.

Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed       dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
