The problem is that for many of the nearly retired folks a job in the government was the promise of a good wage with great benefits and good retirement options. They want it gone because it forced other companies to play catch up in pay and benefits whenever the government could pay better.

It’s also not easy to walk away from a pension program when you’re so invested in it. It’s designed to make people stay long term and put in the work.

It seems like most countries are heading in the same direction with their own flavors of fascism. It's also not that easy to get visas for decent places to live.

I wish it was as easy as just bailing. I very much want to, but I can't afford it, and with the coming depression, I especially won't be able to afford it.

Can they not make a legal claim given that their employer is putting words into their mouth in communications with the public, especially given that it's highly politically charged wording that would damage their reputation, plus in a normal country saying such things at work like that would get you sacked.

I don't know the legalities, but if my employer made it seem like I'd said something like that I'd demand an immediate apology, a reprimand for whomever did it, and a public redaction and apology sent to everybody that had received the fraudulent message.

That seems reasonable and fair.

Yes leave GS vacancies for MAGAts to fill good plan

This pissed me off until I remembered that all these positions were replaced by partisan shit-suckers and opted to ignore it instead. The fact that republican mouthpieces can lie to the faces of their supporters and still get believed means they're hopeless to learn anything else. They live in a reality that is going to crash and burn in a few months, and they can blame none of it on any opposition but their own rejection of reality.

I think we're way past what's legal or not in this shithole. His whole point from the beginning was that he could shoot someone and nothing would happen and americans were like: wow. I like guns too.

Hatch act, it is in fact illegal.

it may well be illegal, but when has that stopped the 34 time felon rapist in chief?

He's too dumb, also near death, but mostly, he's just too dumb. All of them are. Our saving grace is that the evil isn't smart enough to succeed at evil.

Call me when any future Democratic AG's do anything to prosecute any of this.

I'll be holding my breath.

that 30% is looking more and more like a sexual deviant masturbating on a playground at 3am.

70% if the US is not buying this bs and wants all these idiots to start doing their damn jobs.

70% of the US didn't vote like that though.

Pedo king is fitting.

Trump the King of the pedophilia, protector of corruption, leader of the racist white army.

I doubt it will change much, the rest of the party is still in tact. They'll just move Vance to to king dipshit and continue as they were.

this is terrible for computer security. It encourages users to install third-party programs onto government machines

I'd be more concerned about the programs the government is installing onto the machines
