Trump on elections in Ukraine...

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Yeah... Those were all probationary employees.

Over a hundred thousand were let go.

Less than 300 from the NNSA were swept up in that mass downsizing. And it looks like they will mostly be hired back.

That's a really good trade.

Out of a hundred thousand (maybe more), only 400-500 were deemed indispensable?

Tells you all you need to know. Doge is doing good work.

So why are they trying to hire them back?

Trump administration begins sweeping layoffs with probationary workers, warns of larger cuts to come

The Trump administration is intensifying its sweeping efforts to shrink the size of the federal workforce by ordering agencies to lay off all probationary employees who had not yet gained civil service protection.

If those 400-500 out of 100,000+ are indispensable...they should be hired back.

"Mr. President, Ukraine did not ‘start’ this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth." Mike Pence

Trump's pretense that Putin can claim democratic legitimacy and Zelinskyy cannot is as laughable as his claim that Ukraine initiated the war with Russia.

Patriotic Americans are, understandably, disgusted by the azzhole's groveling before Putin as he spews his blatant lies.

In a Kyiv International Institute of Sociology poll conducted Feb. 4 to 9, Zelenskyy had a 57% trust rating among Ukrainians surveyed. That’s down from 90% in May 2022, shortly after Russia’s invasion, but up from 52% in December 2024. Ukrainian law bans parliamentary and presidential elections during a state of martial law, which currently exists. Zelenskyy has promised elections once martial law is lifted.


Again, the equitable solution, even if one ignores the documented reality of who invaded whom, is for both nations to cease hostilities and withdraw to their pre-2014 borders.

Trump needs to shut up about elections after his punk ass incited an insurrection because he lost one.

It’s you who needs to shut up with your silly insurrection™ nonsense.

Patriotic Americans are, understandably, disgusted by the azzhole's groveling before Putin as he spews his blatant lies.

I've been viewing the overseas reaction for a few days, and it's clear that they now realize what Trump is. Prior to these last couple of days, they were certainly confused and perplexed, but they're coming around now.

It's looking more likely that this will manifest in (a) them separating themselves as much as they can from us, (b) a European military and an expansion in countries with nukes, and (c) America perceived as partnering with Russia going forward.

Trust is gone. They gave us the benefit of the doubt when Biden won, but that's over now.

Putin held elections. Holy crap.

Disbelief and Anger: Ukrainians React to Trump’s ‘Absurdity’

Trump on Tuesday appeared to blame Kyiv for the fact that Russia invaded it nearly three years ago, sparking the deadliest war in Europe since the end of World War II.

www.kyivpost.com

Trump claimed that Zelensky had only a 4% approval rating. Zelensky’s popularity, which soared after he refused to flee in the face of an invasion by a much bigger and better-armed foe, has eroded in the intervening three years of war but has never dipped below 50%, according to the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS).

I know, I know: Fake news.

I doubt the Russian elections were clean, but i have a feeling most Russians are behind Putin on this.

They long for the old days of Soviet Empire, and before that Russian Empire.

As the old Russian joke goes "we must have a democracy, but we need a good Czar to run it"

On the other hand, shouldn’t they have been determined to be needed prior to hiring?

Not per leftist ideology.

Let me get this straight.

You're trying desperately to make political hay out of the fact that there was a total of 500 actually essential workers out of a purge of over 100,000 probationary employees.

That's literally a .5% error.

The mistake was discovered and measures have been taken to rehire these employees.

What damage has been done?

Worst case scenario...500 new probationary employees need to be hired to fill these vacancies that will likely have amazing job security...and 999,500+ position in our bloated bureaucracy have been eliminated.

So... bottom line...nice try...but this huge is a net win for taxpayers.

Don't you worry your pretty little head about that.

We're winning there, too.

Yes, fascism is currently spreading. We know.

 

[Missourian]

Yes, fascism is currently spreading. We know.

The F-word is all you've got.

Just call us Nazis. That worked so well.

Your party has gone so far off the rails to the left that RFK and Tulsi Gabbard look like fascist Nazis to you.

Yet, who in this thread is clamoring for war?

I'll give you a hint.. IT'S YOU!

We want to end the wars, pull back our military...reduce our military spending by ending the subsidizing of the defense of other nations.

You've won. This was a tenet of the left for as long as I've been alive.

And how do you celebrate your great victory?

BY FIGHTING US TOOTH AND NAIL!

TDS has literally damaged all your brains.

Donald Trump is giving you what you've always wanted...

...and for that you call him a fascist.

 

[krichton]

The propaganda comes from the Legacy media.

Remember when they told you Puerto Ricans were going to show up en masse to vote against Trump?

Remember when they told you Republican women would secretly vote for Kamala? Remember when they told you Kamala was winning Iowa by 10 points? Remember when they told you the election was a toss up?

Then Trump won 46% of Hispanic men, 52% of white women, and twenty percent of the Black Vote.

Trump won Iowa by 13 points.

And to put the cherry on top, he won EVERY swing state, the popular vote, almost flipped Virginia and Minnesota...which the MSM didn't have in play...and came closer to flipping New York, New Jersey and Illinois Blue than Democrats came to flipping Texas and Florida Red.

48 of 50 states shifted right. 11 California counties flipped Republican.

All after his "conviction".

So why aren't you more sceptical of the shit soup they pour down your throat?

The legacy media may be prone to pushing their narratives, but what they don't report on things that aren't factual. Conversely, facts and reality are anathema to Trump. Propaganda is what Trump does best and he does it 24/7. It's why he got imbeciles to storm the capitol for him.

I assume you got all your information from the legacy media. It's ironic you would reference information like this even though you are "skeptical" of the legacy media.

Fake news.

The Ukrainian Constitution doesn't allow elections while the country is under martial law and only applies to Parliamentary elections, not Presidential elections...

"As discussed elsewhere, the prohibition of wartime elections is established in Ukraine’s statutory law. Ukraine’s Constitution does not explicitly address the issue of wartime elections, except for Article 83(4) that provides for the extension of the Parliament’s powers until the day of the first meeting of the first session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (the Ukrainian Parliament), elected after the termination of martial law or state of emergency. Nothing similar is made with respect to the president. According to one of the drafters of the Constitution, this special treatment of Parliament was originally aimed to enhance Parliament’s standing in the constellation of powers and prevent possible abuses during wartime or national emergency."

If the country is being invaded, the question now becomes, why would you lift martial law? Because Putin, the dictator who invaded you, wants you to? Why would you want to do what he wants and why make Putin's argument for him?

What is Putin's argument?

 

[krichton]

What is Putin's argument?

That Zelensky is an illegitimate president, which is the basis for why he's asking for there to be elections, as if Putin really cared about the legitimacy of fair elections and democracy.

 

[Missourian]

That Zelensky is an illegitimate president, which is the basis for why he's asking for there to be elections, as if Putin really cared about the legitimacy of fair elections and democracy.

Putin thinks Zelensky is unpopular, the war is unpopular and Zelensky has lost the confidence of the in people to lead.

If that's true... if the citizens are have lost confidence in Zelensky... Whether is Putin's argument or not... That's something that should be known going in.

Sure.............You know this HOW?
Because Muskrat said so.

That's literally a .5% error.

Based on Muskrats lie.

The mistake was discovered and measures have been taken to rehire these employees.

WHICH, never should have happened if Musk would have interviewed people.
Like his orange VP, he doesn't learn from his mistakes, he doubles down on them.

What damage has been done?

Worst case scenario...500 new probationary employees need to be hired to fill these vacancies that will likely have amazing job security...and 999,500+ position in our bloated bureaucracy have been eliminated.

Again, based on a lie.
