Sucks man, but sounds like you are one of the capable ones that should have no issue finding another role quickly.

Best of luck

It sucks, but I'm not bitter about it. I am still a proud Trump supporter. I think my biggest thing is, if all of this government fraud and waste had been curtailed many years ago (or never allowed to happen in the first place) we wouldn't be in this situation.


I bet you'll find a job pretty quick because of your work history and your MAGA attitude .....good luck friend.

The storm is here already. Families are already suffering. Whole generations of graduates to.

I hate to see anyone lose their job, but let's not be blind to the suffering already caused by government spending. Washington is not part of the real world and it needs to join it.

No doubt there will be hard working good folks caught in this crossfire but let me tell you, those folks will be hired up in no time. Massive shortage of hard working good folks.

This is why I'm on the fence.

Washington DC is a corrupt cesspool.

We need to try and cut as much as we can IN Washington DC and the Capitol areas.

Maybe not the everyday employees that work for the public in other locations that aren't also cesspools

And I say this because there is going to be some poor souls in resource managememt agencies that work out in the field in remote stations...taking a job nobody else would want....and they are going to be shite canned and stuck

This isn't a storm, this is a light rain compared to what is coming. This is much much bigger than just Washington. The amount of Federal money that feeds into red areas is quite a bit. This is the entire country.

I wish you and your family the best and thank you for being a patriot.

This is seriously a sacrifice, so thank you and sorry you have to go through this.

Sorry to hear Elon fired you, especially since your past performance reviews were great.

I wonder if someone else is now responsible for those 800 webpages that you managed, or will they just delete those?

Sorry you lost your job man. There will be lots of stories out there like this. Sucks. Unfortunately, it had to be done at some point.


This is going to be the hardest part this next year.

We are going to have to hear from good government employees, immigrants who were non-violent trying to get status, and legitimate Medicare and Medicaid recipients that get hosed.

I don’t wish ill on them and hope we get things cleaned up to where we can not live in fear. But the fraud and abuse just goes too deep that you can’t fix the problem without innocents getting caught in the cross fire.


There is a vocal member/leader of our church that has been screaming bloody murder about each and every domestic action Trump has done.

Mind you, she hasn’t worked in 30 years and has 3 adult daughters. She is married to a football coach. 2 of the daughters are single mothers to mixed race babies. All are on snap.

They adopted a girl from a war torn country and have given her a better life. But the adoption has allowed them in their late 50s to go on snap/wic,/medicaid.

She’s sky screaming that her adopted daughter is going to lose Medicaid… never mind that she willfully (and I support it) brought her into this country knowing their financial situation. She also is yelling that her daughters will lose SNAP.

I legitimately don’t want SNAP/Medicaid/hell… even all well intentioned foreign aid to go away.

But if you can’t survive a few months without handout, then it’s a YOU problem.

Yep, change is coming, and it’s going to hurt, but it will hopefully give our kids a fighting chance.

Imagine all the trump voters being a few months away from being able to retire and being dumb enough to vote for Elon and his techie kids. They steal your data while shitcanning you. Then saying you’re still a real real proud trump supporter. Lol

Cry me a river
