"I refuse to accept constructive feedback and will spend a lot more energy and thought to make that clear."

I'm sure they're fun to work with.

I had to block the entire ML instance from seeing too much of their crazy. I didn't for a long time thinking, "Eh, let's hear them out." But I had heard enough.

Progressive policies are by definition in support of the "working class." Which is a much bigger class than most blue collar workers think.

Reminds me of the scene in 300 when he asks how many warriors they brought. We brought real comments.

Don't blame just Republicans, 100,000,000 people stayed home on election day. Not voting is a choice with consequences.

"I'm going to intentionally make it harder for you to sell stuff to the US."

"Okay, so we'll just sell to each other."

"That's an act of war!!"

Wait until veterans learn that DOGE is planning to cut their pension and disability benefits. Their current plan is to only let you get one or the other, but not both.

 

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.
