Hmm it's almost like the feds need a union... ... ... ... 👀
The day this pedo king strokes out will become a national holiday
I doubt it will change much, the rest of the party is still in tact. They'll just move Vance to to king dipshit and continue as they were.
It will definitely be a big baby step
The Cheeto is definitely a cult of personality, and I suspect it will be harder to rally all conservatives behind his replacement. Cult leaders dying can solidify a cult if done correctly (Scientology), but it's also quite likely that it dissolves.
Is he really capable of leading the party he's always struck me as the sort of person that would get out of depth in a slightly melted ice cube. Trump gets away with it because he just says it all does something ridiculous and then the story moves on to that. Vance doesn't really command the kind of following they need.
Are any of them capable of leading the party?
Pedo king is fitting.
Trump the King of the pedophilia, protector of corruption, leader of the racist white army.
So we need some sort of ..red army..?
Shit is the Russian Revolution a better model for what America's upcoming period of political violence looks like? Because the "Second Civil War" invokes ideas of a clean boundary between belligerents, akin to the North/South. But it's obvious that it won't be like that this time, and until now I hadn't considered Russia as a better example.

This is what happens when the people exposed to the highest levels of lead are give access to all the hate they can eat and free-reign to use that lowered cognitive function in positions of power.
Why is my soup so cold? Blame the democrats!
Dare I say Trump is the next Hitler
You cannot fucking tell me that he does shit like this and nobody gives a damn. This has to be illegal
Hatch act, it is in fact illegal.
He basically shredded the Hatch act his first term, there were no consequences, of course he's just gonna flat out ignore it this time.

Forcing those military generals to sit through a campaign speech showed that the Hatch Act is basically dead.

It is. But nothing will be done about it
I think we're way past what's legal or not in this shithole. His whole point from the beginning was that he could shoot someone and nothing would happen and americans were like: wow. I like guns too.
it may well be illegal, but when has that stopped the 34 time felon rapist in chief?
34 times convicted felon, who knows how many more he's committed without being convicted.

Should've blamed Martians. Worked for me that one time.
I'm addition to everyone else here's much more pressing political concerns, this is terrible for computer security. It encourages users to install third-party programs onto government machines.
Mossad should release autoreply_writer.exe
this is terrible for computer security. It encourages users to install third-party programs onto government machines
I'd be more concerned about the programs the government is installing onto the machines
Total weaponization of EVERYTHING against the left, even using right wing shooters against the left.
Blatant partisanship instead of helping Americans. woo. 🙄😒
What is that thumbnail? Looks like some independence day shit.
Thank you for contacting me. On September 19, 2025, the House of Representatives passed HR 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of HR 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse in appropriations I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once government functions resume.
Y'all fucked. Bail now. There's way better places to live out your days on earth .
Can you give me at least 3 countries that'll take Americans with nothing more than a basic college degree?
Don't even need a college degree.
Australia, Spain, UK, Portugal (they may even still be doing that super cheap buying a property thing for foreign workers they're trying to attract in smaller towns), Finland... I assume the other countries around Finland...
Many of these places they are more concerned about filling industries regardless of your qualifications. Education and hospitality are lways in demand. I have four American friends that went to Australia and NZ for short-term visas and just decided to never leave and are PR now. No degrees, though two were former US servicemen which may have boosted their credits.
The only catch for pursuing PR is you either have to have an employer happy to sponsor you, or you are told which cities and industries need you the most. After some time for the government to know you're not fucking them around, welcome to your new home.
Teaching English is a classic too. Especially in SK and Japan. You don't need to know the language well as English is expected to be the natively spoken language in classrooms. Have a friend that never left China doing that and two that never left Japan. No degrees; only basics of the national languages. They obviously have become fluently bilingual over time.
The problem is that for many of the nearly retired folks a job in the government was the promise of a good wage with great benefits and good retirement options. They want it gone because it forced other companies to play catch up in pay and benefits whenever the government could pay better.
It’s also not easy to walk away from a pension program when you’re so invested in it. It’s designed to make people stay long term and put in the work.

The VA did the same thing in a newsletter they send out.
This pissed me off until I remembered that all these positions were replaced by partisan shit-suckers and opted to ignore it instead. The fact that republican mouthpieces can lie to the faces of their supporters and still get believed means they're hopeless to learn anything else. They live in a reality that is going to crash and burn in a few months, and they can blame none of it on any opposition but their own rejection of reality.
Not that laws matter, but it's a pretty clear violation of the Hatch Act.
Not from the US, nor a lawyer, but how is this not fraud?
If someone pretends to be you, without your consent, is that not fraud?
You can ask me to change my out of office email and threaten me with being fired if I don't, but if you just do it anyway, how is that not fraud?
Maybe not fraudulent, since it's not asking for money, but I see where you're coming from. I'm not sure if there's any recourse for the employees affected - did they lose money (for example) because of that message?
Call me when any future Democratic AG's do anything to prosecute any of this.
I'll be holding my breath.

So fucking dystopian. People need to go to prison for this.
70% if the US is not buying this bs and wants all these idiots to start doing their damn jobs.
30% of the US is giggling with glee over these partisan statements forced on government workers while they fantasize about executions.
