Didn’t you just know that (a) his example wasn’t going to be anything like what’s happening to federal workers now; and (2) he was going to imply he was happy to have it happen?

Plus, these new companies run by the Trump Musk inner circle oligarchs will end up hiring all these people who have been furloughed at a third to half less of what they make now, but now with the elimination of certain employment and retirement protections and a severe reduction of others. And the best part will be, taxes on all of us outside the upper 1% will increase to pay for it all.

I’ve had a bunch of ****ty jobs in my day, but even I never experienced such chaos, confusion, and cruelty like this in any of them. And I’m not talking only about the email from FElon.

Stupid libtard Oklahoma, amirite?

Whom exactly will this guy kill for “sir”? That includes a wide swath of possibilities.

I wonder whether the warming weather coupled with with the continued atrocious assaults on democracy in American will start bringing out the protests. I would guess it would take one catalyst event that touches nerves and gets social media traction. It might take something along the lines of announcing the complete privatization of social security and/or Medicare, and putting Elon in charge of making that happen.

Agree. Too bad there are hardly any competitive distrcits.

I thought that was my heel role here! 😁 And yes—what about Obama? Do you want to go back to the tyranny of no entertainment value from chaos, confusion, and cruelty from the White House?

He called in on the Democrats line.

Do most congressional reps do town halls? I had to do a search whether mine has done any, and she did one, out in Wheaton, in August 2023. Nothing on the calendar coming up. A daughter of Guatemalan immigrants doing a town hall out in Wheaton. I wonder how that went.

Perhaps not as much as if people were getting news on X about it.

Come on, Sonia, stay healthy for at least another four years.

I’m not sure it has ever worked on the team results page. I haven’t tried in years because it never did work for me.

Agree. I’m not sure when I have felt so excited and nervous for the possibilities of spring training and the season. This is becoming the organization I’ve been hoping decades for them to be.

Because, as with the National Park Service, the CDC, and Social Security, if people approve of it, it must be crushed.

Never mind that they are also multi-millionaire professional athletes and not college kids ...

Yeah, and besides, who needs useless "administrative and clerical" personnel on staff, anyway? These college-educated nuclear nimrods can process their own paperwork, manage and maintain their own records and filing systems, copy and mail and fax their own documents, sort and distribute their own mail, and greet visitors and handle reception desk duties on their own. Elitist eggheaded jerks, amirite?

This is also a really good example of how meaningless the names MAGA use to disparage their stated enemies really are. As if ewsieg were any kind of liberal at all. The labels are not used as descriptors of any sort, but are leveled only to delight and/or horrify fellow red hats about the person in question. the best example in my view is when they earnestly refer to Democrats as "Marxists", which is asinine on its face and serves only to highlight how ignorant red hats are about what the goal of Marxism is.

Man, these examples definitely deserve their own thread. Paging Dr. @romad1 with the catchy thread titles …

Maybe I should change my handle to Pfife Lite. 😁

This is a really good one because the Trump brain trust very smartly surrounded him with numerous individuals each of whom appeal to single-pet-issue voters who would conveniently disregard or ignore everything else Trump literally said he was going to do.

In my view, this helps explain how MAGAs literally think of Trump the way they think of God. God is anything you want him to be. People freely point to certain Bible verses to support their point of view and conveniently ignore or eschew others. And conservatives aren’t alone in doing this: liberal Christians freely eschew biblical dictates to murder their unmarried daughters in public for losing their virginity, avoid wearing clothes made of both linen and wool, and pierce their slave’s ear if he demands freedom. So when someone like this fellow says he believes Trump was going take a fine tooth comb and make surgical cuts to make government somewhat more efficient, instead of taking a wrecking ball to it, he is disregarding what Trump himself said on the campaign trail he would do, and what the Project 2025 he was obviously so entwined with said he would do, and choosing instead to believe what the fantasy Trump in his head would do, simply because that what this voter himself would have done. Now multiply that times millions of MAGAs who are about to have the leopard they voted for eat their faces. It’s this kind of thinking that has led Trump to believe he really is our god. No wonder he’s acting like it.

So oblong and other moderators are not censo … err, moderating their own speech on the political forum, and that makes it a circus here? That’s pretty rich. Well, if this is a circus, then you’re one of the clowns.

Ironically, Republicans would unironically maintain that by taking government out of your healthcare, especially government health insurance, it is actually you and no one else who gets to determine whether you live or die.
