    I couldn’t agree more! Arguably the worst thing to ever happen to this country. I can’t even watch anything where Trump speaks anymore. I may literally have a stroke or heart attack.

    Well and also the dude is getting old, I get it. But this is also a good gesture to show how our government, specifically the legislative branch is full of a bunch of geriatric fucks who need put out to pasture.

    Also, I misunderstood your original reply and that’s on me, my apologies.

    That’s fair, no one was fired, but I disagree that it was only a scare tactic as it wasn’t just government agencies trying to fire people over that, I think tens of thousands of larger employers would have 100% let people go if the law would’ve upheld such. But regardless of if my thoughts here are right or wrong, this doesn’t play to well to the comparison that only Trump is a horrible authoritarian and Biden was not.

    Can you admit that this administration has fired thousands of career Feds for no real reason?

    I hate that you’re right about that. There’s gota be an age cap.

    Nah, it’s all good.

    Really? After all the points I’ve presented and you’re STILL arguing on a mere distinction without a difference? It should be blatantly obvious that Republicans wouldn’t let him serve as a chairperson after he spearheaded two bullshit impeachment trials. I can’t believe we even have to discuss this.

    Republicans have no goddamn say in who serves as a chairman once they are in the minority. The impeachments happened because Pedo Donnie is the most corrupt person to ever step foot in the White House, and that includes every person who simply visited the White House. Attempting to extort a foreign government to announce a sham investigation into the son of his opponent in exchange for weapons & then attempting the first violent coup in American history are absolutely impeachment worthy.

    It’s not my fault you keep making factually incorrect statements. Seems to very much be a YOU problem.

    We were talking about back during the Covid vaccine. You’re missing most of the context of the convo here.

    No I’m not. I’m just pointing out that the current people are doing the things you guys have a an alleged problem with at a larger scale

    I’m kinda surprised that an ATC would be upset about federal employees being fired or their job being eliminated. We probably all know at least 10 people that we think their job shouldn’t exist and that’s in an agency that’s probably one of the more important ones.

    Some of ya’ll need to come live here in the middle like the majority of us in this country. Once you realize both parties suck and don’t give one fuck about you, you can stop wasting so much energy on hating one side because you realize you’re fucked no matter what.

    Absolutely, I can’t get behind it and never have. I’m just leveling the comparison that authoritarian actions took place under Biden as well just like Donnie-T.

    Yeah well they aren’t a minority atm, obviously. Which is why I brought up the fact that you’re taking this distinction without a difference to your grave rn but whatever lol.

    And like it or not, Trump asked Ukraine for the investigation in return for weapons with it being a given that if it fell through, Ukraine was on their own with asking the UN for help anyway, moot point. That wasn’t even the concern in the impeachment article, national security was, which is also a moot point. And I like how you have such an issue with an investigation for his opposing candidate, if Biden had nothing to hide then why was an investigation a big deal? And at the same time you still haven’t mentioned any retort to the fact that blue states attempted removing Trump from the federal ballot completely.

    And if you still think Trump incited a coup on Jan 6th then there’s no helping you. His full initial statement on social media has been out there for a long time now and so is the fact of how the media and Congress trimmed it to spin a narrative at the time.

    I’ll admit that’s fair comparing the two individually. I don’t like them either, truly. But I also think Donnie has seen more political retribution from multiple entities than Biden has. Not that it makes him better in any way.

    Pedo Donald should’ve been removed from all ballots after engaging in a rebellion against the United States. His treasonous coup attempt started with him directing Secretaries of State to “find me 11,780 votes” in states that he LOST. When that didn’t work, he coordinated an attempt to have fraudulent “electors” from those states submit their fake electoral college ballots. Then, when that didn’t work, he tried to get the VP to just ignore all the states he lost & declare him the winner of an election he LOST in a landslide. Finally, he very specifically chose January 6th to have his horde of inbred, hillbilly REPUBLICANS show up with their confederate & Nazi flags to go attack the Capitol in a last-ditch effort to stop the certification of the election. Members of his own administration testified under oath that he gleefully sat on his fat ass in the White House & watched the violent attack on a large TV. Those insurrectionists were HIS people & he told them after the attack that he loved them.

    My god man, that's it ! You've solved it! Now everyone will go about their day, respecting other opinions, giving reach arounds to opposing party members, and developing everlasting bonds over a passionate topic wrought with complexity and subjectivity. Thank you... just simply thank you. What you've done here today will echo through eternity

    Actual shutdown question as this is my first one: when the government reopens, so we get a straight 80 check and differentials come later? Or is it all together like a normal check?

    Our facility is having the pay people come in for 1 day of excepted during each pay period to prep for pay. Expect it to be a shitshow.

    I believe that congress gets to appropriate money and people shouldn’t get fired cus of some guy named big balls.

    I think criminals should be arrested and they immigration should be fixed for people who want to come lver and work. It shouldn’t be controversial to have guys come help farm and build shit.

    Ronald Reagan ruined immigration
