    You're not too bright, are you? Skidmark, that's what I will remember you as. By the way, Obama and Biden are the crap-stains of our presidency. Norcaliskidmark.

    Trump is in the process of cementing his place among the three worst presidents in history and may have locked in his spot as the worst US President in history behind even Andrew Johnson and James Buchanan. Historians will rate Biden similar to the way Truman and Carter are rated, both left office with very low approval ratings although in retrospect they were rated much better and in the case of Truman among the top half of all US presidents. Obama was responsible for the ACA, one of the most consequential pieces of legislation in history and oversaw recovery from the worst recession since the Great Depression. Interestingly Trump took credit for the trend of declining unemployment and economic growth that began under Obama and characterized most of his term in office.

    Maybe he can report us all to the DHS and get us charged with treason for failing to adequately kiss the orange skidmarks's ass. Oh the humanity.

    You should run for president. Then we'd have a president who actually valued the institution and people he's the head of, rather than the current one who can't wait to burn it all down.

    Now Elon has taken over the entire database of federal employee information at OPM, all as part of destroying the federal workforce. What could go wrong?

    "The systems include a vast database called Enterprise Human Resources Integration, which contains dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades and length of service of government workers, the officials said."

    "We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems," one of the officials said. "That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications."

    "The acting head of OPM, Charles Ezell, has been sending memos to the entire government workforce since Trump took office, including Tuesday's offering federal employees the chance to quit with eight months pay."

    "No-one here knew that the memos were coming out. We are finding out about these memos the same time as the rest of the world," one of the officials said.

    Exclusive-Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say

    Trump swore an oath to destroy the federal government.









    January 6th wasn't enough.

    And what happens when thousands of federal workers are displaced from their jobs and livelihood. If rehired, it will likely be under private contractors, with likely reductions / losses of pay and benefits.

    Those effects will ripple down to all the states with untold consequences.

    This must be the pain that smart guys like Elno think we should all go through.
    To get us on "the right track", so we can all just deal with it, right?

    Buckle up buttercups. Your government is being hijacked before your very eyes.

    President Musk's next step
    Senior U.S. official exits after rift with Musk allies over payment system
    The highest-ranking career official at the Treasury Department left the agency after a clash with allies of billionaire Elon Musk over access to sensitive payment systems, according to three people with knowledge of the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private talks.

    David A. Lebryk, who served in nonpolitical roles at Treasury for several decades, announced his retirement Friday in an email to colleagues that was obtained by The Washington Post. President Donald Trump named Lebryk acting secretary upon taking office last week. Lebryk had a dispute with Musk’s surrogates over access to the payment system the U.S. government uses to disburse trillions of dollars every year, the people said. The exact nature of the disagreement was not immediately clear, they said.

    It's for a much more encompassing reason than you might think. Real changes are happening that you will be absolutely stunned to find out about soon enough. Our "silent" intel part of our government is being rearranged.

    Sadly, I think the stuff Rick reads on www.rightwingkookoobirds.com might have some accuracy these days.

    Funny how all of a sudden everyone is supporting government workers. Similar things happened when a government shutdown occurs. Nobody cares if the government shutdown until the national monuments are shutdown or a national park is closed. We’ve all heard how we’re lazy and overpaid.

    If you were truly worried about America's children, you would not support the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

    The Dems and the pharmaceutical industry have a lot of explaining to do. Screw the Dems and the status quo. Kennedy plans to Right this wrong.

    There are also several cures to many different cancers than you know already discovered that are kept from the public.

    This! Totally this!

    After all, I'm old enough to remember when both Barack Obama and Joe Biden started their presidencies by bringing in unqualified sycophants to implement a "policy" of sending disparaging emails and trying to induce a seemingly large amount of the federal workforce to quit!

    Oh, wait. You're just trying to establish a false parallel between the actions of, well....anyone, and your scummy hero Trump.

    Sorry, your effort did not succeed.
