No, from experience.

Nobody is saying that having a government job is bad. What's bad is what the left has turned a government job into, such as working from home with little or no supervision, the ability to take a second job while on the government payroll (double dipping), and probably being overpaid for the work that may or may not be done. The government workforce is too damn big and bloated and needs to be trimmed.

Most all Government jobs are filled by Democrat Party sycophants or colored folk.

The powers that be thought giving colored folks a place to go would keep them off the street.

[Harry Dresden]

You all hate BLM for protesting police brutality. That is the proof.

your a fucking bigot and an asswipe on top of that....

 

[Harry Dresden]

Look at all these MAGA assholes cheering the firing of General Brown. They know nothing about the man...other than his skin color.

If that is not enough "evidence" for you, then you don't want to see it and you are willfully ignorant.

outside of you who has even mentioned this guy ?...

Zero. I am only 57. I am currently coasting on savings and consulting gigs. Sold my business around 2 years ago. Only brought in about 150K this year.

Lol, nope. Veterans make up a huge portion of the federal workforce. So do women.

Says a hatful ignorant bigot, Trump fired three, one white female, one black and one white. All three supported DEI, and that wasn’t the direction the Trump administration was going. That you conflate everything as race, it seems you might be racist as well. Again, no facts, no proof, just more of your feelings, hatred, ignorance and bigotry.

Bush was trying to appoint a black female judge to the second highest court in the land an Democratic Senators, including Biden, blocked him, did anyone scream racism then? Nope!

No one cares if you are black or white, in politics the only thing that matters is D or R as we have seen hundreds of times.

GOP lawmakers confronted by constituents angry with Trump-Musk cuts
Several Republican lawmakers have faced backlash from constituents in recent days over President Trump's sweeping cuts to the federal government, which have been spearheaded by the Department of Government Efficiency, a task force led by Elon Musk.

With the House in recess, many members of Congress have held town halls and attended other events in their districts this week, giving their constituents a chance to confront lawmakers in person to express their discontent about budget cuts and the layoffs of federal workers by DOGE.

Rep. Rich McCormick, a Georgia Republican, clashed with constituents throughout a packed town hall in Roswell on Thursday. One attendee pressed McCormick on why the administration was taking "such a radical and extremist and sloppy approach" to the layoffs, noting that the administration has tried to rehire some employees working on bird flu and the nation's nuclear weapons programs after they were fired.

I made the point in another thread that some POT (party of trump) members of Congress are being put in a difficult position. OTOH, they do not want to be seen as not being in lockstep with MAGA doctrine. I mean absolute lockstep, since we know anything less than total acquiescence is considered to be heresy by the MAGA thought police.

But now there's been some pushback by constituents. Buyer's remorse you might say.



These folks do not appear to be pleased.

As you may recall, it was these kinds of town hall meetings that cause the failure of the ACA's repeal effort by Don. Angry, angry voters holding their reps to account. Not that he had a replacement plan anyway.

Why didn't they actually SHOW the questions being asked and the Congressman's answers to those questions? It's a town hall meeting in a very liberal area of the Congressman's district. Of course they don't like DOGE or Trump's EO's! My question is this...the Congressman got elected in that district...so isn't it obvious that the majority of the people voting in his district WANTED a Republican elected? Probably not in THAT liberal area but that was true long before Trump took office! So what did that prove?

‘Some came with complaints about Elon Musk, President Trump’s billionaire ally who is carrying out an assault on the federal bureaucracy. Others demanded guarantees that Republicans in Congress would not raid the social safety net. Still others chided the G.O.P. to push back against Mr. Trump’s moves to trample the constitutional power of Congress.

When Representative Pete Sessions, Republican of Texas, arrived at a crowded community center on Saturday in the small rural town of Trinity in East Texas, he came prepared to deliver a routine update on the administration’s first month in office. Instead, he fielded a barrage of frustration and anger from constituents questioning Mr. Trump’s agenda and his tactics — and pressing Mr. Sessions and his colleagues on Capitol Hill to do something about it.

“The executive can only enforce laws passed by Congress; they cannot make laws,” said Debra Norris, a lawyer who lives in Huntsville, arguing that the mass layoffs and agency closures Mr. Musk has spearheaded were unconstitutional. “When are you going to wrest control back from the executive and stop hurting your constituents?”

Louis Smith, a veteran who lives in East Texas, told Mr. Sessions that he agreed with the effort to root out excessive spending, but he criticized the way it was being handled and presented to the public. “I like what you’re saying, but you need to tell more people,” Mr. Smith said. “The guy in South Africa is not doing you any good — he’s hurting you more than he’s helping,” he added, referring to Mr. Musk and drawing nods and applause from many in the room. In Trinity and in congressional districts around the country over the past week, Republican lawmakers returning home for their first congressional recess since Mr. Trump was sworn in faced similar confrontations with their constituents.’

Republicans Face Angry Voters at Town Halls, Hinting at Broader Backlash

After a monthlong honeymoon for the G.O.P. at the start of President Trump’s term, lawmakers are confronting a groundswell of fear and disaffection in districts around the country.

And those who voted for Trump now realize the stupidity of having done so.

It’s too late now – complaining to Congressional Republican won’t do any good.

The citizens of this country are angry with Trump again. People aren't going along for this ride.
