Scrambling to replace their health insurance and to find new work, some laid-off federal workers are running into another unexpected unpleasantry: Relatives cheering their firing.

These are the same deplorables who cheered Brian Sicknick's death.

Consider this a metric for the popularity of the potential brother vs brother, cousin-wife against Meemaw and Pappaw civil war BOAZ has been wet for, for years.

EBERLE will say he's sure it wont be 'that big' a civil war, and probably would be what America needs to be great again. And besides, he's rich so kick-rocks, you savages.

"Liberals are betas and they suck! It's why they lost! Don't come to my state or we'll shoot you!"

Close enough?

The people who puzzle me the most, are the MAGA fanatics who have been fired and still say they support Musk/Trump.

This is truly an amazing feat. The Republicans and Shitler have accomplished making half of the country despise government workers.

These government workers mind you do OUR business. They are, for the most part, educated and trained middle class Americans who implement the collective will of our nation as embodied by the laws pass by Congress.

These are veterans and doctors and scientists doing cutting-edge research to cure real diseases, they are park rangers making sure our national parks are safe and clean, they are law enforcement chasing serial killers, terrorists and cartel gang members, they are accountants who review tax records to catch tax cheats, they are auditors who ensure our nation's money is spent properly, they are clerks who process payments to medicaid and medicare and SS, these are trained professionals who secure air and rail and auto travel.

These are people who have dedicated their lives to public service.

How these people became the enemy is a real and true tragedy.

So, these magat scum, who are literally the worst people in the world, are decimating the expertise and institutional knowledge that makes our government function.

Here is something magat scum do not understand. Government should NOT work like a business. It's goals are nearly the opposite that of a business. Where a business' goal is to maximize profits, the government's job is to enforce our collective will and to protect our rights.

To make those people who do OUR business, what WE call them to do, what THEY do as an honorable service to their fellow countrymen and women the enemy is simply despicable.

Short-sighted people fail to understand that the long term effect of those efforts will destroy the fabric of society. No system can survive the trauma that is being inflicted. Replacing competence with incompetence, experience with dogma, passion to serve with passion to break is a recipe for disaster.

These people being hated, and fired or forced out serve US. They provide US with the benefits of our government. You get rid of them WE ALL lose out.

When will magat scum realize that THEY are being hurt.

I can't get passed what Musk achieved back in December.

To remind you, Congress passed a CR that funded pediatric cancer research and 3 other actions-allowing pediatric cancer patients to travel across state lines and still receive benefits, to participate in multiple drug trials and incentives to drug manufacturers to do research into pediatric cancer drugs.

But Musk comes along and, in a literal tweet, gets Congress to stop funding the latter 3.

I cannot fathom how this would not devastate the effected families. If my child was caught up in this vile action, I don't know what I would do.

All over pennies, literal pennies of the federal budget.

Do magat scum not have children who develop cancer?

I mean I get the USAID thing; Americans are simply too stupid and immoral to understand the devastating impacts of cutting off USAID. They simply do not care about the 10s of thousands or 100s of thousands or millions that will die, again for literal pennies.

But this is their own children.

I don't get it.

I would do ANYTHING to save my sick child.

Helping sick children should be WHY societies form.

I don't get it, never have, never will.

Fuck you. You jerked off to and mocked construction workers when they lost their jobs to Biden axing Keystone pipeline for no legitimate reason.

I don't celebrate anyone losing their job and I don't have any animus toward federal workers. Fortunately, as you pointed out, these people have pretty decent qualifications and should be able to land on their feet in the private sector.

Your stupid talking point regarding children's cancer is just that. STUPID.

"Fortunately, as you pointed out, these people have pretty decent qualifications and should be able to land on their feet in the private sector."

And when there's layoffs in the private sector, just remember, those laid off have pretty decent qualifications and should be able to land on their feet in a government job!
