trump has a curious habit of saying the quiet part out loud.

Trump says federal layoffs will be ‘Democrat-oriented’​

President Trump on Friday said the ongoing layoffs of furloughed federal workers amid the government shutdown will be “Democrat-oriented.”

“And it will be Democrat-oriented, because we figure, you know, they started this thing,” he said in the Oval Office about the firings and shutdown. “It’ll be a lot.”

The administration offered no specifics on which agencies or how many people would be affected when it announced the layoffs earlier Friday. But at least 4,100 government employees were already laid off. Here is The Hill’s list of agencies affected so far.

The Senate voted against the House GOP bill to open the government Thursday, and the chamber later left for the Columbus Day weekend. The Senate will not return until Tuesday evening.


As is often the case with the trump government, something like this has never happened before. Not only are high profile people (Dem's) who have been critical of trump under siege from fatuous lawsuits, Joe lunch pail government worker who happens to be a democrat is too.

With all the constant chaos swirling every day this act of unprecedented, vindictive, petulance against Americans guilty of nothing will not get the attention it deserves. It will simply be added to the list of ways trump is tearing the country apart.

Those aren't "fatuous lawsuits" those are grand jury indictments.
With the US $37.8T in debt, Trump needs to cut the government payroll to help balance the budget.

In case you haven't noticed, Trump's poll numbers are going up, to 47%.

Democrats are still toxic at 19%.

Yep. This madness is fully normalized now. His decisions are 100% partisan, and the rubes will claim that's just normal.

And again: The world has seen this before.

What has never happened is this behemoth gov that continues to explode. That seemed normal to people like you, so a correction is like taking away the keys from the teen kid who continues to drive 100MPH in your car.

70% of federal workers are Democrats. It's going to be difficult to have a quelling without it largely affecting them.


I don't care who gets whacked, D, R, whatever. Our federal government is bloated and full of useless bureaucrats. If these actions concern you, you may want to consider taking those concerns to Chuck Schumer seeing as how he instructed his caucus to vote against continued government funding.

People haven’t been laid off before? Or we haven’t had govt shutdowns before?

What are you trying to claim is new?

Quelling? How about a cleansing.

They did start it, and they did give Donald Trump complete control over all federal spending by taking themselves out of the appropriations process.

No wonder Hakeem the Dream looks like this today:

He must be exhausted from mouthing the words "the Republican shutdown" over and over again, and begging for somebody - anybody - to talk to him, when he has no power because Senate Democrats gave it all to the President.

Schumer, Jeffries and the democrats are shooting themselves in the foot and making Trump's case for him. The bare bones gov't that is currently operating seems to be working every bit as well as the bloated, obstructive monstrosity that we've seen over the past nine plus years. It is also telling that the leftist press hasn't focused on the fact that Trump has stated many times that the "firings" would comprise non essential, UNFUNDED jobs and they might not come back.

Hakeem Jeffries is clearly mentally challenged. He is lucky to put more than three words together at a time.
 
In some cases the federal government has two and three people doing the same job from different buildings... government was grown by dems just for voters... slice away Trump....
 
I read somewhere that most of those in the DoE affected were in the K-12 oversight arena and not higher ed/student loans

The entire ******* bureaucracy is democrat oriented, so he's only saying something that makes common sense.

When those workers choose to RESIST, they made themselves political targets.


IMO, we have waited FAR too long to start playing hardball.


I HOPE that this is just the beginning of the purge of you lefties from the government.

We can't just continue funding government agencies that do nothing but collect taxpayer funded paychecks.

the PO has people doing the same job in many buildings....
