Text from article:

David Rice, a disabled Army paratrooper who has been on probation since joining the U.S. Department of Energy in September, also learned Thursday night that he had lost his job.

Rice, who has been working as a foreign affairs specialist on health matters relating to radiation exposure, said he’d been led to believe that his job would likely be safe. But on Thursday night, when he logged into his computer for a meeting with Japanese representatives, he saw an email saying he’d been fired.

“It’s just been chaos,” said Rice, 50, who had just bought a house in Melbourne, Florida, after he got the job.

Rice said he agrees with the Trump administration’s goal of making the government more efficient, but objects to the random, scattershot approach being taken.

I don't block them, I down vote them.

I can tell. There are plenty more just like you. Even reasonable articles that deserve consideration get automatic downvotes. How very mature. Ironically, that reminds me of conservative political sophistication.

Until a conservative sub can prove that it's banned all Nazi and fascist content and is fully separated itself from support of the current administration and its attempted coup I will continue to downvote on sight. I refuse to pretend as though there is a reasonable middle ground to be struck and I don't have to tolerate intolerance.

Name one sitting conservative politician that isn't sucking up to Donald Trump. Everything else is hot air.
