Yep. Republicans in Congress went along with impoundment and rolling back funds with the simple majority vote, so fuck them. Their deals aren't worth shit.

Johnson was talking about a new rescission package. There is zero reason to cut a deal with these people and they should be made to blow up the filibuster to get a CR passed. They need to own the entirety of the terrible shit they want to do and have done without any cover from Democrats.

The democrats won’t negotiate with us because we haven’t honored past agreements is some brilliant governing by Moses Mike.

Trump said late Friday afternoon that he plans to fire “a lot” of federal workers in retaliation for the government shutdown, vowing to target those deemed to be aligned with the Democratic Party.

“We figure they started this thing, so they should be Democrat-oriented,” Trump said, placing blame for the shutdown on Democratic lawmakers.

Trump did not provide details on what qualified the affected workers as “Democrat-oriented.”

Trump wants to screw the government, firing the competent ones would make the incompetent and nepotists ones looks that said organization is not necessary to exist...
 
I see Trump handles domestic policy like he does foreign policty.

The damage is done. From what I hear, this was the last straw for many. I know some folks who already had offers abroad that they are likely to take now.

It's particularly gauling that Vought is behind all this stuff. His kid with cystic fibrosis greatly benefited from US government public health and research, and he comes along laughing like a supervillain with a chainsaw to the entire apparatus.

He really should get the day that he fucking deserves [derogatory].
 
WHY FUCKING CLEAN UP THEIR MESS??

LET THEM ROT.. LET THE COUNTRY FAIL.

When it's ready to break apart.. save what you can of what you have!

Seriously we're like Ukrainians at this point needing to be independent of Russkies and can't be trusting of them like giving them our nukes and shit.
 
Trump and his lackeys running around in their sinking ship plugging the holes they drilled moments after they drilled them. Wash, rinse , repeat. No real planning other than fuck with the libs, grab as much cash out of the treasury as possible before the midterms roll around and like the sniveling thieves that they are, rig elections any way they can to keep the robbery going while their millions of accomplices act like it's not happening to them.

Brings new meaning to the term the "Silent Majority" that voted these creeps into office.
 
On behalf of the rest of the world, we would like to thank you for putting end stage capitalism on display.
We have watched the far left.
We have watched the far right, and we are ever more comfortable right there in center.

I don't think that some of the scientist would even try to return, specially if they are on critical projects. That's without going the Russian way.

It's hard to say.

Despite conservative propaganda about government workers, many, particularly in agencies like CDC, EPA, etc believe in their agency's mission and don't necessarily want to leave. But yes, some surely have been looking at other opportunities and leaving. I imagine it will also depend where each person is. If you're near pharma hubs and stuff, it can be easier to jump; but if you're further afield, leaving means also likely moving, which makes it harder to go.
