Had a conversation with a non political person whose buddy works for the forest service and was 10 months into his job supplying hard to reach parts of a national forest and was fired. The guy talking to me was like “I don’t really think my buddy’s $50,000 salary is gonna balance the budget.”

most people know someone who works for the federal government in some capacity
and even the assholes who think all federal employees are moochers tend to make a personal exception for their buddy Jim
everyone is going to hear stories of how cruel and capricious this is

Just how long do Republicans have, do you think?
Just like there are many who pay federal taxes, to provide services. They have to work hard for the "slackers" who do not pay

A spit in the ocean
It's not about saving money.
It's about total control.
DOOMSDAY on the horizon!
Then she was angry at her brother - another lgbtq+ person - for cutting off his family ties.

It's not their problem. If it hits you, it's your fault for being born poor.
Heartless, cruel and unfeeling begins to describe them. But those are just names and
THEY DON'T CARE - so we have to MAKE them care
Should all those fired Gov.Employees DEMAND!!!!!
The worst part will be this summer when wildland forest fires start up. There won't be permanent staff to dispatch.
Just like the RW Brexshitters here in the UK
The firings are wrong but Stop taking the media bait.
I’m still bewildered that the trump could run for POTUS in 2016 without the truth of how inept and criminal he was in business,
and the many stories of people and contractors he had destroyed with mob like tactics.
Dangerous times indeed.
I hate that IMAX decided to make movies so realistic you could walk out of the cinema unemployed now, but wow....
Liberals will get mad n hate you tho for having differences of opinion. Like being anti war
2. Meeting in the middle on things like war is an absolute non starter. It is one's moral obligation to oppose war. We don't want blood on our hands. That goes for imperialist endeavors as well..
3. Meeting in the middle is fallacious, in terms of reasoning.

(Isn't racism the thing we "disagree" with, for a start? Gosh, wonder why you can't get through a sentence without being disingenuous. Figure yourself out.)
"non-political"= what they actually mean is that they don’t want to talk about politics that threatens a system they exist comfortably in.

We could do a go fund me….
Or call in sick…what would musk do, run the agencies himself, I know it’s a wild thought
The thing is, people pay for expect and rely on this stuff. But cutting it doesn’t cut out the pay part. Their taxes + expenses still won’t go down!

He told us what they were gonna do. The evidence was right there in front of everybody, but nobody believed that the cons would do that to us.
The love of power versus the power of love.
Tax $ are theft
VS.
By the PEOPLE, for the PEOPLE (of the PEOPLE)
Meanwhile WTF are we taxing the other 99% while giving more more to people making $350K a year?
And these calculations exclude Trumps egregious tariff taxes on consumers.

The ONLY reason I don’t want him fired is because he’s 76 & raising two of his grandkids. The kids are like 16. My aunt passed 3 years ago so he’s doing it alone. But it’s so damned hard to not hate
I saw that a study showed people became much happier if they stopped watching Fox - if this is one of the problems in your uncle's case, you could let him know. For his own health and happiness.
And please don't let the states take over federal lands. Mining and real estate are dying to take over.

If Republicans could see reality Trump wouldn't have been reelected
