Look, everyone don’t over react to shutting down USAID, stranding thousands, and forcibly making them move by next weekend. Rahm Emmanuel, David Axelrod and James Carville say to focus on the economy! Don’t you guys remember that worked in 1992!

I remember those days. Oliver North selling heroin to kids in Harlem to buy guns. Selling missiles to Iran. At least he went to jail. Will this ever be right again. Are we paying for the sins of our past?
I can only imagine what would happen if some 20something went onto Fort Liberty and told a BCT CDR…your organization is fired. Get everyone off post in a week. More or less the same thing happening all over the Federal workforce.
Fred, this may be helpful in understanding & countering the far right's plans to destroy our democracy. PM Donald Tusk is finding the changes difficult to undo.
Presumably these folks will be able to be retrained as agricultural workers, or meat packers, since those folks are getting deported. That must be the plan.
Emmanuel, Axelrod and Carville need to follow Biden into the sunset and stfu. They were awesome in their day but no longer. It’s time to rest on your laurels.
Sry but 3 heads that just 4 days ago knew nothing about engaging in. FELON UPSET. LIKE I SAID FELON SEES THIS AS chess game, and if anyone is paying attention, what happens when the last is played. That bad
Having worked in Africa for three years, my heart goes out to USAID families being told to return to US in two days
These folks have rented homes, personal belongings, children in school, They're being ripped off the ground & losing jobs!!! There's no empathy, or care for the work they do!!!
All of these dinosaurs live in another era, and it has serious consequences for the rest of us. History has shown that you can't sing kumbaya with fascists. You have to fight them tooth and nail.
I guess ideocracy reigns on both sides. These people have shown how stupid they are consistently. Amazing anyone listens to the has beens who have no idea how to combat the now.
Yep, gave us the neoliberal slick Willy. The DNC went oh yeah a winning strategy. The dinosaurs did some kind of weird yell sounding like meritocracy. Then Obama lied thru his teeth, kept the neolib policies and finally admitted he was a mid 80's mod rep. Biden got a little away from it got screwed.
Carville is a friend of Peter Thiel and provided consultation services for Palantir for years and years...James Carville only cares about James Carville.
Why the huge hurry to rip these employees and their families out of their overseas residences? These are federal employees but they are treating them like evacuees ahead of a massive typhoon. What is going on?
If they mean screwing with Trumps economy, I totally agree. Trump considers himself to be a superior businessman and is the most important thing to him and the only way to show him otherwise is to screw it up. Start with #boycottthesuperbowl at which he will be platformed.
The shelf lives on all 3 of them long expired. They need to get real jobs. The rest of us can focus on many things at once. And we understand the interrelationship of Trump focusing on destroying good govt and democracy and ignoring economic issues.
Say goodbye to America’s soft power. USAID fostered goodwill around the world and helped America’s image, now China will fill that void and get even more access to strategic rare earth resources in Africa and South America no doubt
It was good advice for the '24 election. Compelling polling data in the NYT: the top five things that Americans are concerned about and what they think the top five items are for the D's and R's. There was only one area of overlap between the respondents and the D's (health care). The R's had 3.
Kitchen table issues and alienating business leaders by Lina Khan and to a lesser degree Gary Gensler are why the Dems lost the election. Rahm Emmanuel is correct.
Personally, James Carville needs to sit down and stop mouthing off. He hasn’t been of any assistance to the Democrats or their cause for several years. It’s time for the younger generations to step forward and accomplish what the old guard is not capable of doing.

USAID is vital to America.
Everyday the hole gets bigger and bigger.
These folks have rented homes, personal belongings, children in school, They're being ripped off the ground & losing jobs!!! There's no empathy, or care for the work they do!!!
Focus on the economy and the toddlers fucking things up.
