Unsurprisingly Donnie used family connections to get into college. He had his older Brother Fred Jr. arrange an interview with an admissions officer at Wharton Penn State. Then he brought his daddy to the interview. Final say was given to some other guy who has since died. Guy who did the interview said his rating must have been decent enough to get in, but he was sure that he never considered Donnie to be a genius.

He is disgusting, it's amazing how this is a ponzi scheme where the "investors" are just as terrible as the leader, I hope they all go down.

Got this response back from Senator Grassley.
July 8, 2019

Dear Mr. SimonCat:

Thank you for taking the time to contact me with your support for an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 that would eliminate the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) offset.

Currently, if a veteran's surviving spouse is awarded DIC by the VA based on the death of the same veteran who provided the SBP Coverage, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) reduces the spouse's SBP annuity by the amount of the DIC award. If the DIC payment offsets the entire SBP annuity, no annuity is paid and the SBP premiums for spouse coverage paid by the member are refunded to the surviving spouse.

In 2008, the Special Survivor Indemnity Allowance (SSIA) was enacted in order to partially offset the reduction in SBP because of receiving DIC payments. This is a taxable benefit that increased from $50 per month when it was enacted to $310 per month for fiscal year 2017. Originally, the SSIA was only authorized through the end of October of fiscal year 2017, but was made permanent with the 2018 NDAA.

The Senate’s version of the NDAA passed on June 27, 2019, without the amendment to allow surviving family members to receive the full SBP and DIC payments without an offset. The biggest barrier to this legislation passing in previous sessions of Congress has been the debate on funding mechanisms. However should the Senate consider this legislation in the future, I will be sure to keep your thoughts in mind.

Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me. Please keep in touch.

Sincerely,

Slim Pickens

So I haven't seen it discussed here, but the UK had a large leak of diplomatic cables from our Ambassador to the US - cables which provided confidential assessments of the current administration, which I am sure you can guess weren't too positive.

Despite this being the job of every ambassador everywhere (no doubt the US Ambassador is sending back assessments of the ongoing brexit shitshow) because Donnie has paper thin skin he has thrown a bitch fit on Twitter and claimed "we will no longer deal with him"

There is literally a possibility you are going to declare our diplomat persona non grata because he said some mean things privately while doing his loving job. Jesus Christ :smugdon:
