Apparently, some people have had enough.

You think your pension is safe?

And management isn't his target.

At least not yet.

the post office because of the mail is considered an essential job....but the management a different story....trump is talking about the useless management...

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.

LOl DO you think astrotufing these townhalls is going to work for you?

They were pretty useless back in the early 70's, did absolutely nothing.

It seems not many here know this but PO was part of the executive branch up until 71 or 72 when Nixon privatized it but still a govt. agency. So I don't see much difference than before that happened. It was more efficient back in the early 70's.

These are republicans you are talking too. Most of them are on SS or SSDI.

You are so stupid

Mark Levin fox news has had enough.

Mark Levin Defies Trump By Backing Zelensky and Trashing Putin — Bashes ‘Sick’ and ‘Un-American’ Foreign Policy

Mark Levin delivered a rebuke of Donald Trump's rhetoric about the ongoing war between Russian and Ukraine, debunking a series of false and misleading claims.

An opposing thought.......And?

You socialists/communists cannot have opposing thoughts, this is bordering uncharted waters isn't it?

 

[Billiejeens]

"Deep state" has never been anything but a MAGA boogeyman.

You are sooo stupid.

 

[MarathonMike]

you guys act like working a govt job is bad....if you had a choice between working a govt job or working in a shitty factory....which job would you choose?...

Depends on what kind of factory, what the job was and how much it paid. And I never said working a govt job is "bad". There are just way too many govt workers across the board.

I'm not on SS or SSDI, Crep. Might want to bone up on when to use "too".

there was a lot less mail back then and a lot less delivery points.........85 billion pieces in 70 to 208 billion in 2000 and a lot more delivery points....

The deficits are because of tax cuts. And the deficit will grow larger as more people who lose jobs need unemployment and public assistance. Concern yourself with your country and stop repeating American right-wing garbage.

.

Deficits are solely ... The result of unfunded spending.
They don't come from not collecting enough money to fulfill your every desire ...
They are the result of spending money you don't have.

And that is not a terribly complicated concept to grasp ...

.​

 

[BlackSand]

A. Have you even heard of "winning the hearts and minds"?

B. That's chickenfeed compared to trillions in tax cuts for people who already have more money than they can spend in a hundred lifetimes.

.

Which in no way means that you have any right to spend their money on whatever you want instead ...
That would just make you a worthless mooch ...

Where did you go to school? A deficit is due to spending more than we take in. We have run a deficit even before tax cuts. We ran a deficit when we had the highest taxes.

If we doubled taxes today, politicians would spend every dime and go right on borrowing even more money and running deficits.

Hopefully on a Democrat.

Yes, liberals in their districts are upset.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

The party of cut, slash and burn is going to quickly find out that hurting the American people is a bad idea. Hoping for the house to go 240 seats democratic in 2026!

Reducing bloated government is very popular with the American people.

Of course he is, lol.
