Reminder from 2016

CNN: Florida is considering removing child labor laws due to the lack of immigrants in their state who were once able to do work

I didn't have allow the GOP to make children clean rich people's toilets in 2025 on my Bingo card but here we are

And there it is. Putin’s lifelong dream. After years of relentless Russian propaganda, now fully embraced by the American president and the world’s richest oligarch, millions of Americans are convinced that this is a good plan because Europe is an enemy and Putin is our friend.

Awesome.....

My friend can’t sign up to access his social security money so he can retire. The SS computer system is not allowing it right now “due to current events” and phone calls to them are saying the same. So I guess that means no one is allowed to retire now?

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far once and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in power fuck workers over, the French stop working. Don’t forget your real power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

Americans will learn how much the "deep state" does for them only after it can't do it any more.

Count me in, ladies!! 💙💙

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

It's not insane. WAKE UP!

Nazis did the same thing.

I'm in banking and I assure you they will be draining all bank accts, 401ks, IRAs (retirement savings gone!) of ordinary citizens, too.

Then, all assets -- property, valuables, etc.

Why is anyone shocked at this point?

It's the Fourth Reich.

Wasn’t there a line in Die Hard that went “it was always a robbery.” DOGE was always out to steal government money.

Thou shalt not spend millions on Super Bowl ads about Jesus when you could’ve used it to feed the hungry.

Imagine making all your decisions based on how much it pisses off a group of people. What a sad way to live.

Donold’s supporters don’t care if they lose their jobs or their freedom as long as he is performatively ‘owning the libs.’ That’s how much they have been taught to hate you.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Inside Musk’s Aggressive Incursion Into the Federal Government The billionaire is creating major upheaval as his team sweeps through agencies, in what has been an extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual.

So, Musk is the King and Trump is the Cuck. Oh, MAGA, you got played.
