DOGE job cuts shake Trump-voting West Virginia town Jennifer Piggott proudly hung a red-and-blue Trump campaign flag outside her one-story home during the November election race. Now, after she was abruptly fired from her civil service job, her days of supporting the president are over.

Backlash against Trump & Elon from his voters is very real, folks. This is just 1 story out of Parkersburg, WV; a state in which Trump won w/70% of the vote. His voters even joined Democrats in protest. Itโ€™s only 1 loc & group amidst the myriad of issues. Momentum. โœจ

America Chose the Monster We all make mistakes.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of colorโ€”and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.

I enjoyed having a loving husband for 44+ years. We each took the lead on what we did best: finances, me, plumbing & computers, him, kids, both of us. He changed diapers, bathed kids, cooked, did laundry. He was a unicorn. He could also be a PITA, but so could I. We actually liked each other.

I gave up Facebook for Lent and am missing the opportunities it gave me to tell Trumpers how stupid they are. On the plus side, I started writing a novel.

Elon Muskโ€™s temper tantrum lawsuits made me lose my job and then he and Chaya Raichik sent hordes of chuds to harass me and my colleagues who were also laid off.

None of us have shut up, so maybe people on the Hill should also do their fucking jobs.

2 confirmed cases, after โ€˜patient 0โ€™ visited not 1, not 2, but 3!!! healthcare facilities.

Cases from โ€˜patient 0โ€™ can still occur thru March 6. Idk what the window is for exposure to those currently infected.

Itโ€™s not like Bergen County is densely populated or near a major city or anything ๐Ÿคก

Right, because Trump would never dishonor such a document...unless it was to line his pockets.

Fox News Suddenly Starts Panicking about Trumpโ€™s Economy: โ€œWeakening!โ€ Yes, theyโ€™re still blaming Joe Biden, but the talking heads at Fox are getting awfully nervous that President Trump might be on the verge of sending the economy into a tailspin.

How ominous are economic indicators? Well, this is what theyโ€™re saying on *Fox* these days:

โ€œThe boom times are over.โ€

โ€œWe are sliding towards a recession.โ€

โ€œThe jobs picture is weakening!โ€
