Apparently, some people have had enough.

[Crepitus]

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

I'm not an English major, but you might wanna look at the definition of "most".

.

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 ...

Huh?

That's completely unrelated to what I said.

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.

Well, the good thing about the USA is, if you don't like trump, you can vote him out in 2028!

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

many were not pleased with your party also....which is why you lost....

True....but this a GOP Congressman getting chewed out by constituents in deep red rural Georgia.

What Trump and Musk are doing is pissing off a lot of Republicans who voted for Trump, too.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Of course he is, lol.

he has already commented on it.....and like i said every person who touches the mail wont cry to see the management get laid off...

People having enough is why Trump was elected

Buyer's remorse from people with nothing to sell.
Yep, and to think, we passed up on going with this:

 

[Staidhup]

Clinton, Obama, and even slow Joe all admitted abuse, fraud, and tried to eliminate waste in the government, yet none of them did a dam thing except talk, talk, talk, now someone is actually uncovering waste and watching out for those that actually pay taxes, and the Dimbo’s and woke Pubs are butt hurt, so how is that bad?

 

[Papageorgio]

If the election were held today, with voters being able to see the chaos Dotard has caused, and with the realization he isn't doing a damn thing about inflation because it is out of a prez's ability to control, let's just say the election outcome would not be certain.

lol! Highest ratings he has ever had, and Biden’s presidency was a joke, he wasn’t even really there. Didn’t you predict Harris would run away with the election? How did that go and I should believe you now? Why?

 

[Billiejeens]

Are you not on social security or disability?

I am not

 

[SassyIrishLass]

I am not

The wise thing to do is take the wasteful spending and divert into programs that actually help Americans. Social Security, veterans, actual education of our children, worthwhile infrastructure.

It's not difficult to grasp

The wasteful spending is a distraction.
The spending on waring being done by the left against the right and center is where the true damage is done.
The Democrat Media Bubble Cult would just fill one sorority house without all of the funding being spent.

 

[Crepitus]

I am not

One of the few here that isn't.

 

[Papageorgio]

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

This is the ignorance, bigotry and lazy thinking.

 

[berg80]

Well, the good thing about the USA is, if you don't like trump, you can vote him out in 2028!

The increasing feeling among Americans is that will be too late.

Many members of the House skipped holding large, public events while out of Washington this week. But the Republicans who did hold town halls back home got an earful.

At events from Georgia and Wisconsin to Oklahoma and Oregon, House Republicans faced sometimes-hostile crowds furious about the sweeping budget cuts and mass firings of federal workers that President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency are carrying out.

At town halls, Republicans feel the heat from Trump and Musk's firing and cutting spree

The White House said the incidents represent just a handful of critics. Others noted similarities to earlier backlash against disruptive moves in Washington.

I dunno. Shitty factory jobs are paying pretty good these days. At least you're likely producing something useful.

Like $25 per hour? Do people actually believe this is pay one should work hard for? It should be entry level pay with a $10 raise if one hangs in for 6 months. And the rising wages causes inflation stuff is lies.
