Your choice, of course, but must say I don’t understand why anyone spends time there. It’s not like anything you say there is going to change anyone’s opinion or even make them think about what they are posting, is it? And they enjoy arguing w/ you. So, why do you do it?

But wait… If you golf on a snow-covered course you get to use orange balls that would match dear leader’s orange face paint!

There are MANY things about how the govt works that most of us probably need to know. However, I don’t feel bad for not knowing this about promotions in the civil service. Hell, I worked for NASA for 5 years and didn’t recall it (but, that was 45 years ago :-).

But isn’t the usual response to “failing” to meet expectations that you have to revert to your previous position? On one hand it doesn’t really matter since these firings weren’t due to poor performance but on the other hand, this could—if true—be the basis for a class action filing??

I know this is the first time I’ve heard this. So accepting a promotion makes employees more vulnerable to being fired? That is f**ing weird! I wonder how clear this is in the job postings???

So, who IS the administrator in charge of DOGE? How many people attend on the payroll? Where did the funds for this group come from?

Well, when you build your personal end-of-the-world bunker, you've got to have some way to test it. That's just common sense, eh?

RIF or Reduction In Force is government speak for layoffs (for anyone who hasn't worked there).

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.
