Boeing can’t be trusted to get our two astronauts back AFTER BEING IN SPACE FOR A YEAR so the nation turns to Elon Musk TO SAVE AMERICAN LIVES! If you’re a progressive lunatic….just leave them there! That will teach them, using Musk to get home. “ITS A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS! I HAVE A MIGRAINE!”
I have completely lost trust in the integrity of the courts, judges, FBI, DOJ, DOD, the House and Senate, especially the orange dicktator. Goodbye to the rule of law and the belief that no one is above the law.
What "Buyout" are you talking about? It's a bogus attempt to undermine the rule of law.
Normalising this shit makes you fucking Quislings at the Washington Post are the actual darkness that killed democracy.
You do know Clinton terminated the employment of 377k federal employees in the 90’s right? He only offered them $25k to quit early then. Just saying….,
Do a reduction of 25% of the federal workforce is not beyond the realm of possibility? That’s good news. Seems like Trump is on the right track, following previous precedents. Still saying…
While back worked for a startup in SV that grew to 350 employees. Then the company screwed up and within 9 months and 8 RIF’s, we were 90 strong. I know what you are going to say, that was private. The result would have been the same. Go broke or trim the fat. Unconstitutional 2b decided by SCOTUS.
Her asses are not gonna get paid. He gonna do them just like Elon did his vote eggs and Trump does not handle the money. Congress does so how he gonna get money to pay them.
HUH!? This is what language? You may have a future in…….. I’m wrong. There is no future for you based on the nonsensical drivel that you wrote. You aren’t Joe Biden are you?
Our national security is completely fucked. Our Federal Government is not a fucking business. These functionaries perform critical duties to keep us all safe. #NOBUYOUTS. Do not take the #BUYOUT! You will get fucked we will all suffer!
You correct Congress handled the purse the money do you little idiots by the end up not getting paid anything they might as well just quit and look for another job
So when Bill Clinton told all Federal Departments in his administration to trim their employees by 4%, was that a betrayal as well? He only offered them $25k quit early. It resulted in the elimination of 377k people losing their jobs. Sounds like betrayal to me, or maybe precedent?
It was done closely working with congress & the agencies, & following OPM established policies, regs, & protocols. It took years and phases to implement giving agencies and folks plenty of time to come up with RIF and retirement plans & time for employees to consider options. Not out of Elonia’s ass
So why did a court today remove the “pause” placed on the RIF Buyout by a lower court? Did “Elonia” pay the judge? Or did that judge realize that Trump’s actions were constitutional?
You forgot lightening bolts shooting from his eyes while he eats human babies! “It’s a Constitutional Crisis! We’re all going to be eaten alive by the great orange satan! Quick, find a 12-year old boy whose penis we can sacrifice to the Golden Maxine Idol so we can survive until the return of Harris
Your daily BlueSky reminder that the owner of @washingtonpost.com took a front row seat to the fascist inauguration of 45/47. This news outlet isn’t credible, which is why @jenrubin.bsky.social left. You have no integrity. None.
These people taking the buyout will never receive their severance pay. He has a long history of refusing payments that he promised people. I hate that these people are this gullible, but if they won't listen to sound advice, it's on them.
Every Institution is caving in to the Tangerine Tyrant and his corrupt regime. Clinton reduced government employees by 200,000 back then and reduced the deficit and balanced the budget BUT HE DID IT WITH CONGRESS AND SENATE in a Bipartisan Solution. Trump acts like he doesn’t have majority support
Onto SCOTUS where we as Americans will see US laws crash and burn. Who needs a lawyer anymore. Laws are ignored by POTUS so why does anyone need to follow the law?
Issue of standing would have been major. But the unions stepped forward early to show something’s not right here. The judge never reached the merits. In the future, expect more refined legal arguments & wins.
If Trump and Musk are able to use tv and social media as a megaphone to scare off anyone who dares to question them without any pushback, they will continue to grab even more what doesn't belong them. Democrats in Congress have to say more publicly and journalists dig and expose more.
Guessing these would be called layoffs and they would be entitled to unemployment compensation. Also this will impact unemployment numbers for this presidency. #GoodTrouble
