There's your new farm laborers.
Kinda reminds me of ol' Mao's Cultural Revolution.
Send the eggheads off to the farms.
That only set China back about 30 years.

On what grounds are they being fired?

Seems like this is an opportunity to sue the Supreme Court.

Also. This is how you win all future elections.

By making sure everyone in the government has sworn fealty to you.

Get ready for some Russian style politics.

Checks?
Balances?

Not in Nazi America

I wonder if the Supreme Court would let the orange pig fire them.

#6 | Posted by cbob at 2025-07-08 06:02 PM

Pretty crazy that Republicans hate brown people so much, they'll fire tens of thousands of white people, just to fire a few brown people too.

#7 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-07-08 06:03 PM

The long term goal is to kick out the browns.

The short term goal is to fully seize control of the federal government.

Once they have the federal government, Democracy will be as free and fair as it was in the Soviet Union.

Putin should win an award for how masterfully he took over America.

It's a shame Osama bin Laden isn't alive to see America crumblimg, more or less as he drew it up.

Nullifidian too.

You can't sue the Supreme Court. They have sovereign immunity. Sadly

#11 | Posted by LauraMohr at 2025-07-08 06:17 PM

This does seem strange that Congress creates these positions but the President can micromanage them.

Who would want to work at any organization where the leader arbitrarily fires entire branches of the org chart for no discernible reason?

I realize that's the point, to fill up the government with lackeys and yes-men, who are so blinkered in their hero worship that they don't think they'll ever get fired.

The Cruelty Is The Point.

Good bye dipshits!

We need to ramp this up by 10x and bring the Fed workforce back down to the level of the 90's.

If OBL was alive the orange rapist would be sucking his ass.

Easy.

Just get rid of homeland security.

Republicans are responsible for the biggest expansion of the federal government in my lifetime.

Agreed. Abolish ICE needs to be the first move. Instead, were seeing exponential growth in government under Republican leadership.

"Just get rid of homeland security.

I am 100% okay with that.

Is this exponential growth in the room with you now? Is it the memory of the thousands of fed employees that have been given their pink slips crying out to you?

As it turns out, Sotomayor is NOT the most ignorant, least qualified DEI Supreme Court Justice its Latonya-Kesha Ketanji Brown Jackson.

"#19 | Posted by visitor_"

Are you telling me that the DEI hire that could not define a woman cannot understand the law to the extent that even radical liberals like Sotomayor are calling her out in their written opinions? Color me shocked!

#20 | Posted by ScottS at 2025-07-08 07:42 PM

Not a firing, per se, as a deletion of government positions, so they are let go as no longer a position for them, unless they qualify for one elsewhere. Hey, echoing your former 'leader', - they can just learn to code.....

"Not a firing, per se"

Meanwhile, back in reality:

Good. We vote for POTUS and POTUS should have complete control of the Executive branch.

As for elimImaging DHS ... I'm all for it. DHS is a post 9/11 creation that is purely redundant cans is an obstacle to the agencies it overlaps.

You wouldn't be saying this if it were Obama. I guarantee you that.

#24 | Posted by LauraMohr at 2025-07-08 08:26 PM

"We vote for POTUS and POTUS should have complete control of the Executive branch"

We vote for POTUS expecting that POTUS to faithfully execute the law.

As in

he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,

Where does it say he gets complete control of the Executive branch Branch? I think I missed that part.

He does have "ministerial duties" and gets to hire and fire and supervise executive officials.

And all of them need to follow the laws and policies currently in place. Or have Congress change them.

Even the name, Department Homeland Security, has a fascist tone to it.

You are wrong. By far my biggest issue with our government is the unaccountable and unelected 4th branch of government. If the GOP racks up a couple of Executive victories with a good possibility of a 3rd, maybe, just maybe, Democrats will push for a reduction in Executive power vis a vis all of these agencies that just regulate and create "regulations" (laws) without any accountability to the public.

Until that happens, POTUS controls the Executive.
