WHOffice of management and Budget: Layoffs are under way

resident Donald Trumps administration announced Friday afternoon that the long-threatened reduction-in-force notices to furloughed federal workers, in response to the government shutdown, have started. "The RIFs have begun," White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought posted on X. An OMB spokesperson also confirmed to the Washington Examiner that the notices have started and claimed they "are substantial."

Republicans are the leading cause of unemployment in 2025.

Considering the size of our bloated government, I welcome this.

But what I'm not sure of is if this is part of the coming AI trend.

Yes, Republicans cheer when people lose their jobs and their livelihoods and go on unemployed.

More people for Republicans to call lazy moochers. More reason to cut taxes and cut social programs.

It makes its own gravy.

"Considering the size of our bloated government"

Americans are going to pay the same amount of taxes, for less government.

Where's the reduction in bloat, exactly?

Trump just gave $20 Billion to his MAGA buddy in Argentina.

But money for Americans? Nope. Americans need to suffer.

Also, billionaires need tax cuts!

Turds supports all the above.

It's truly remarkable to witness just how horrible MAGA really is.

#6: It's truly remarkable to witness just how horrible MAGA really is.

On Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, 49.8% of eligible American voters elected Dummkopf Trumpf to be President of the United States of America. They are called Republicans.

Billionaires won't be paying taxes on all the money they accumulated by stealing profits from the labor of their employees.

So. We need to cut everything that money would pay for.

idk if this is true there's a difference between when Republicans cheered and Democrats cheered

For instance when miners and oil workers were laid off, and oil pipelines were canceled.

"Anybody who can go down 3000 feet in a mine can sure as hell learn to program as well."
~ Biden.

I don't recall you complaining.

idk what do you think Snoofy? Can miners just learn to program?

Now Republicans are cheering that government workers are getting the ax; technically, the taxpayer is paying their salaries, and the "company" is in debt.

IAMRUNT cheered for his child-raping hero's 15% unemployment rate.

The debt?

Thanks for the laugh.

Donald Trump's first term in office increased America's Debt by 25%. Single handedly he outspent every other President, ever.

This term he's outspending himself.

He really should thrown himself another military parade. So he can shht himself and fall asleep.

Maybe more gold for the White House is in order.

"For instance when miners and oil workers were laid off, and oil pipelines were canceled."

You're a terrible liar.

"Laid off" is not the same as "RIFfed."

And "never hired because a future project was canceled" is not the same as either.

There's starving Americans under Trump?

And they don't deserve to be starving because of the bad choices they made?

Of course.. these are the people who lost everything in Brandon's 9.5% inflation (Jimmy Carter) economy. You really need to sit this one out, you disease vector.

#16 | Posted by lfthndthrds at 2025-10-10 08:50 PM

"these are the people who lost everything in Brandon's 9.5% inflation"

How did they "lose everything" to inflation? That doesn't make a lick of sense. You'd have to make some Very Bad Choices indeed to lose everything to inflation, in just a few years.

Why should it be Trump's problem if people are starving because of Biden?

Oh, right. It's not a problem for Trump. Trump is the one destroying hundreds of millions of dollars of food.

The Trump administration literally raised taxes on the poorest Americans while cutting taxes for billionaires and this braindead moron is bringing up the fact Trump is firing federal employees because he believes the federal government to be "over bloated". Good strategy.

Then there's the fact Trump has single handedly lost America trade partners with his incompetent use of tariffs. Farmers aren't selling their crops.

Millions are being spent on golf trips and military birthday parades.

Billions are being spent on ICE.

Trump is literally attacking American cities.

The only way to be a Trump supporter is simple. You're a fascist.

That's it.

You're a fascist.

"Clownshack wants starving Americans to pay for the over bloated federal employees."

Are these the same starving Americans who pay zero in Federal taxes?

@#14 ... Clownshack wants starving Americans to pay for the over bloated federal employees. Retarded ...

Yet your current alias shows no justification for that comment.

In reality, it does appear that Pres Trump is the person who wants starving Americans to pay, while he let's billionaires off the hook of paying.


So, what else yer current alias (bordering upon "trolling", imo) got?


Anything to substantiate its viewpoint that it posts?

Yes. You cut the bloated government and then you get to search for bloated bodies after the flood warnings don't go out.

Americans are "starving" because the Fat idiot's economic mismanagement has inflation spiralling out of control.

#24 | Posted by LegallyYourDead at 2025-10-11 03:09 AM

"The debt?"

WARNING: Republican Math alert!

When you cut $500 billion, then turn around and renew $5 Trillion in tax giveaways, that IS NOT addressing the "debt".

Trumpy is now creating panic amongst our soldiers driving them to line up at food banks to make sure they can still feed their families if their paychecks don't arrive Oct 15th.

This is the question that got him to leave.
Because it reveals how broken his brain is, and he knows it.

" these are the people who lost everything in Brandon's 9.5% inflation "

Since Trump wanted a stimulus 42% higher than Biden's stimulus...how high do you think it would've gone under Trump? 11%? 12%?
