Russell Vought’s endgame is in full swing.

Russell Vought is just one of among many of the appalling human beings infesting the right wing and the Trump Administration. These people need to be dealt with severely when the opportunity arises.

If a Dem ever takes the presidency again, we'll hear more about how we need to heal the nation and it's not the time to perpetuate division. 2009, 2021...

dougb1.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Yeah any media outlet that runs with that, and I completely agree with you that we’ll hear that repeatedly, can be told to fuck off. Or they can ask the pundits and reporters if they asked that question of Trump and when that’s answered accurately can then tell them to go fuck off.

I am hopeful that President Ocasio-Cortez will restore the rule of law and deal with bad faith insurrectionists and their enablers appropriately.

There’s a long list of people in his administration who will need to face the most severe sanctions and repercussions for their lawlessness.

Naw. The Democratic base done with that shit.

Because that sounds like something a good Christian would do, create trauma for people just trying to do their jobs. Just think of
what awful people they would be if they weren’t Christians.

Those crosses they wear on tv to show the world their piety are at unholy odds with their actions.

This is a power play to cow government workers (the ones left) and also being done just to inflict pain. The Trump cabinet and their underlings are a collection of sadists and criminals. Not expecting anything ethical from them

I was told many times "if you did a similar job in the private industry you'd make way more money. We're all underpaid"

The reason they hate federal employees is because we don't do it for the money, it's not about profit.

Some people are asking: If old Russ had his throat ripped out by a crazed dog would it be deserved?

...and so many Trumpers are resentful losers who don't have the resolve and determination to stick with a long-term career arc. The people they're villianizing just...went to school, did some science, and are trying to do some good in their tiny little corner of the world.

Thinking about all the people at USDA working out in the fields all summer, trying to grow more resilient types of broccoli or whatever so we can make it easier to feed people, or testing crop samples from local farmers to see what's killing their fields.

Drove by the university extension office today and thought about the same thing.

The entire administration consists of people who were dealt four aces and resent the world for not giving them a fifth

This guy Vought needs to be tarred and feathered like the days of olde

This ass clown is doing this as a "Christian"... Seriously, that's fucked up.

I don't understand why the wealthy in our country want a breakdown. Eventually, people are going to show up at their houses with pitchforks and they'll have to flee. 🤷‍♀️

They don't realize how well Keynesian trickle up economics has been working out for them

Yeah it’s more “we want anyone standing between us and billions of grifter dollars to fear for their own safety, anyone protecting the average American to be put in trauma”

katelenox1.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Seems like the "view them as villains" part is backfiring.

sparklepigeon.bsky.social•10 hours ago

How does causing trauma to federal workers “insure domestic Tranquility” and “promote the general Welfare?”

dog-the-wag.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Yes-like my cousin-2 years from a full pension. Brilliant guy who could have made bank in private sector but made his career at GSA. Has a young kid and wife that depend on him. I’m pissed as hell about this. Fired for bullshit “performance” fuck project 2025 and the fuckers who wrote it.

daveparisi.bsky.social•11 hours ago

And everyone who voted Trump and now wants to play the "well I don't really follow this stuff closely because it doesn't really impact me". This gets hung around their necks too.

Make it a millstone.

Hard yes to that!
