When we say trump is stifling dissent, this is what we mean.

[berg80]

The investigations on that have already begun. People WILL be indicted over it.

They already were.

 

[jknowgood]

MAGA lies.

No they skipped houses that had Trump signs.

 

[Marener]

We get it already when Dems are in power because the civil service is mostly dems.

That was never the intent of the apolitical civil service, one side getting slavish cooperation and the other side getting crap like this.

The problem is “the other side” is Trump, and Trump wants them to act corruptly and illegally.

So yeah, he doesn’t get much cooperation from people who actually want to work for the country and not slaves to Trump.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

The investigations on that have already begun. People WILL be indicted over it. People like Comey, Clapper, etc, are going down.

Of course they have..............

 

[martybegan]

What happened is part of a pattern of silencing criticism by intimidation.

In July, the Environmental Protection Agency placed 144 staff members on administrative leave after the workers signed a letter accusing the administration of politicizing the agency. The E.P.A. also opened an investigation into whether the workers signed the letter while on the job using government equipment.

They are supposedly apolitical cogs trying to influence policy.

**** them.

 

[berg80]

This should not be political. FEMA did good work under Biden and is still doing good work under Trump.

The work is being compromised under trump.

1) We oppose the reduction in capability of FEMA to perform its missions.

Secretary Noem has impounded agency funds by requiring a personal review and approval of all contracts, grants and mission assignments over $100,000 which reduces FEMA’s authorities and capabilities to swiftly deliver our mission. Consequences of this manual review became tragically clear during the July 2025 floods in Kerrville, Texas, when mission assignments were delayed up to 72 hours; FEMA’s Urban Search and Rescue Branch Chief resigned, citing these delays as cause.

PKEMRA §506 (6 USC §316) states: “the Agency shall be maintained as a distinct entity within the Department” and the “Secretary may not substantially or significantly reduce the authorities, responsibilities, or functions of the Agency or the capability of the Agency to perform those missions, authorities, responsibilities.” Noem's review of contracts is superfluous, given that FEMA is already required to develop "pre-scripted mission assignments", per PKEMRA §653 (6 USC §753), in conjunction with federal partners that also have legal responsibilities to ensure rapid federal disaster response.

Additionally, PKEMRA §506 (6 USC §316) states that transfers of assets are prohibited, “except for details or assignments that do not reduce the capability of the Agency to perform its missions." Despite this prohibition FEMA employees have been detailed and reassigned to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when the agency is already operating at reduced capacity due to staff losses through deferred resignation and voluntary retirement. Any who refuse the transfer to ICE are threatened with termination.

 

[Marener]

I know the entire program should be gone.

Fine. We are tired of subsidizing the disaster responses in shitty red states. They can pay for their own problems.

 

[Godboy]

They already were.

Im talking about real indictments based on real information. Real indictments send people to prison for MANY years. Buckle up.

 

[jknowgood]

He is their boss to the extent he can fire them. But their responsibility to do their jobs is to the public. If trump is compromising public safety, as he so clearly is, they are obliged to tell us. Not protect an incompetent prez at the risk of people's lives.

Biden's fema skipped over houses in North Carolina that had Trump signs. You have no credibility.

Bullshit. Trump is telling them to do their jobs as his policy directs them.

Nothing corrupt and illegal about it on Trump's part.

He is doing what we elected him to do.

You think “their job” is to do anything Trump tells them to do, even if it’s corrupt.

Civil servants want to help the country, not a shitty politician.

 

[berg80]

You don’t want them to be apolitical. You want them to obey anything and everything the administration tells them to do.

Spot on.

 

[Godboy]

Of course they have..............

It amuses me that you think Epstein is going to sink Trump. Do you see ANYONE talking about Epstein anymore? Its old news. Nothing stays in the news cycle for very long anymore. Welcome to 2025.

 

[martybegan]

You keep adding the word corrupt as a qualifier. He is asking them to implement his policy.

These Civil Servants are choosing party and political positions over their jobs. **** them.

And if that policy is a threat to the safety and well being of Americans, they’re supposed to just do it and not tell anyone.

Right?

Cool narrative, PSYCHOPATH.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Is that why FEMA skipped checking on homes with Trump lawn signs?
You're a ******* CLOWN.

Poor SeaSwab.

They were getting death threats from the loony tune Trump cult.

Biden's fema skipped over houses in North Carolina that had Trump signs. You have no credibility.

A Federal Emergency Management Agency worker has been fired after she directed workers helping hurricane survivors not to go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump, the agency’s leader said in a statement Saturday.

“This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values and principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said. “This was reprehensible.”

It was one employee, not policy. GFY.

 

[martybegan]

And if that policy is a threat to the safety and well being of Americans, they’re supposed to just do it and not tell anyone.

Right?

They are making up bullshit because they are against the policies politically.

Just like you add the accusations of corrupt and illegal when zero evidence exists of such conditions.

 

[Rogue AI]

If their contract agreement calls for their silence on matters of threats to public safety and the regime being in violation of the PKEMRA then it isn't worth the paper it's written on.

If they signed it, they are subject to the consequences of violating it. So, just another 'liberals are above the law' thread. How pathetic.
