I'm generally sympathetic to folks setting up dashboards making some amount of mistakes in the beginning, but any sympathy I had was lost given based on the way they are going about this (thoughtless and mean).

If you just copy the 'savings' table to a spreadsheet and add up the savings, you get to less than 10% of the claimed number.

It's incredibly brazen to proclaim "receipts!" when your own data shows you're being dishonest.

Love it. If I did this at work I would be fired. God government workers have it the easiest huh

This is not "government workers" in the sense of normal government employees trying to do their jobs with limited resources. This is "personal lackeys of the richest man on earth". Please don't imply equivalence.

Sorry my comment was in jest about how those exact lackeys have denigrated out federal workers, and here they are behaving in just the way they claim the workers are. I hope your comment and this one clear it up, thank you!

Probably the biggest douchebag in the world.

Dear Americans I really hope you can stop Trump and his idiots and throw them forever into jail. Doesn't feel like just some 40 days of Trump in office with all those recent headlines.

The world counts on the sane people of America and a lot of brave judges, attorneys and senate members.

"Probably"?

Realistically, this is what a plurality of the American people voted for -- no one with even rudimentary ability to read or hear could realistically claim they were unaware of who/what Trump was this time around. It's unfortunate the rest of the world is collateral damage.

It'll be at least two years before there is a realistic chance of change.
