    Democrats weren't trying to eliminate the education department which offers student loans to tens of millions of individuals. Democrats weren't trying to rip away healthcare from 35 million people by eliminating ACA. Democrats weren't trying to eliminate the CFPB which helped 3 million Americans get their money back last year from banks. Democrats weren't gutting the NLRB which helps protect tens of millions of workers from labor abuses.

    Its always funny how right wingers always have to, "both sides" everything to justify their shitty views. Your cult hero is passing 4 trillion dollars of tax cuts for the ultra wealthy while firing veterans who work for the government.

    Trump isn't a dictator, he's running the country like a business. There's going to be pain because the govt has been badly mismanaged for 30-40 years. In the long run the country will be better off for using fiscal principles. Basically it comes down to foreign countries are going to have to carry some of their own weight. We cant afford to be the world's sugar daddy's anymore.

    Hey guys. Everyone has to suffer and deal with the pain Trump pushes onto everyone just so we can pass a 5 trillion dollar tax cut to billionaires like Bezos. We need to get rid of the education department and all consumer regulators because as we know we can trust corporations to do the right thing always.

    We cant afford to be the worlds sugardaddy but we can afford to pass multi trillion dollar tax cuts to the top 1%! We need to fire hundreads of thousands of working class individuals just so bezos can buy another yatch! Remember the debt is about to explode under Trump and deficits will get worse just so we can pass another tax cut to the billionaires.

    Insane how utterly insane these cultists sound without realizing it. Utterly brainwashed

    I still have the overwhelming majority of my wealth tied up in USA. Im still heavily invested in the country.

    MAGA want to convince the country that Trump is somehow fixing the budget and tackling debt. Hes about to add 5+ trillion dollars of tax cuts which majority of it will go to the top 1% which makes wealth inequality explode. They are stealing from every day Americans while portraying a pile of **** as some sort of gold.

    30% of ALL Federal Workers are Veterans. I think we can ALL say we want corruption and waste ended, but the way elmo goes about is not the way to do it. It`s already bit him in the butt on several fronts from the FAA to Nuclear Energy and stop with the lies about what your saving, this could have been a huge win, but the optics matter and calling ALL FEDERAL workers lazy, bloated and stupid is not the way to do it. One of my jobs is going into companies that we just bought and go over SOP`s, operating systems, personnel, HR and Sales. I normally show up the day that the staff is informed, and I am probably the most hated person in the building............... we use empathy and then we put our heads down, work with the current management and find the GOOD and the BAD and we are 100% transparent. Do we have to lay folks off, yes but we have an exit plan already drawn up and we don't delay. There is a way to do this while showing dignity and empathy.....and for those who say it must be done like this, no it is not, you can do this at X but if you're going to run the Government like a business, then you need to follow basic business practices, IMO you CANNOT run the government like a business, we are the stakeholders, we are not a "bottom line", we are all humans and even if the outcome is you are being let go, we can be HUMAN about it.

    They are being given better than the norm severance packages .. they are being sent emails asking what they did last week ... what is the big deal

    you have the time to feign empathy because these organizations have 10-50k people, not 3 million scattered all over

    It can only be ugly with decades of inaction

    thus far, Trump has crapped all over the domestic economy - no promises price reductions, no progress on inflation, the 401K class getting hammered, market hates his tariff vanity tariff wars, and only the billionaires are happy bc of tax cuts and elimination of any federal government oversight on their ability to pillage.

    Yeah, I know it’s been two months. That’s gonna be the response. So, pray tell, when does the ship turn around?

    trump gets a blank check because the cult doesn’t question its god?

    six months? A year? Surely there is a plan that has accountability for results.

    Most republicans in Washington hate Trump as much as democrats.

    They are just spinless POS's whose primary goal is to further their own career, not do what's right.

    Better than the norm severance means jack sht when they lost their jobs and livelihood. Its means jack sht when their taxes are raised under trump and they have no job. It means jack sht when everything going up in prices due to trump dam tariffs.

    Vets are getting fired for no fking reason. U would b quite stupid to believe folks who are willingly to sacrifice their lives for our country would take government jobs just to abuse it.

    Saying he's running the country like a business is one of the stupidest things anyone can say.
