    'Crippling our future!' MAGA mayor turns on Trump amid whispers of mass purge

    President Donald Trump's federal purge may be coming for hundreds of civilian employees at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma — and even MAGA-supporting officials in the Oklahoma City area are begging him to reconsider.

    The outlet This is Topeka reported over the weekend that about 600 federal civilian workers face termination this week. The outlet cited a "credible tip from the National Vice President of the American Federation of Government Employees for the 9th district.

    .............................
    Christy Gillenwater, president of Greater Oklahoma City Chamber, also said she was concerned."We're trying to focus on Tinker, the FAA, the other federal entities and their employees right now," she told the newspaper. "We've taken steps to make sure the families of these employees and all these individuals out there know they are supported."

    And Choctaw Mayor Chad Allcox — a supporter of Trump — wrote on Facebook that federal workers are "under attack."

    "To be clear, I support the movement President Trump has built, but I do not support what his team is doing to federal employees, especially in the Department of Defense," Allcox wrote. "Those who work to protect this country deserve better than this treatment. If we don’t implement a phased, structured approach to fixing our government, we’re not just hurting today’s workforce — we are crippling our future. At this rate, it could take decades to rebuild what’s being recklessly torn apart right now."

    Once again quoting Joni Mitchell from her song "Big Yellow Taxi" , "You don't know you've got till it's gone", a lot of Trump voters as well as Republican politicians who supported him are going to find out that the Federal government has been playing a significant role in the economies of their states, cities, counties and congressional districts and that its reduced presence will be very painful.

    Maga has such a sense of entitlement & selfishness. Literally laugh at others losing their career until it happens to them.

    An updated version of that song includes 'They put up a windmill and killed the whales'.

    Yeah, but so many "libs owned". Given this is the Prime (and singular) Directive of MAGA, I'd say this administration has been a resounding success!

    I don't buy this shit for a second. Probably just bussed in some liberals with thick accents to try and appeal to the Marjorie Traitor Green crowd. It's Georgia. The state is a lost cause and the heart of MAGA.

    LOL. What a total hypocrite scumbag.

    "I support everyone else getting fired and/or mistreated ...... but I'm all upset if it happens to anyone in my own district."

    That's the "movement" you support buddy - disregard for the law, consequences of actions, or what's even best for the country. Just so you can "own da libz" in service to your clown, Porno Don.

    Hypocrite.

    Maybe. But it’s not just Georgia. That article talks about a few red districts where federal employment opportunities are key, and I think some are starting to realize that untargetted mass cuts — like saying “fire everyone hired in the last two years” — are going to disproportionately hurt white people. Saw another article a few days ago saying Trump supporters are overwhelmingly trying to get messages to Trump, begging for their jobs back.

    No they won't. They'll never admit it. We've now entered into the clownshow cycle and MAGA will probably be replaced by something equally stupid from the left. Citizens of this country are too spoiled and lazy to be bothered to care anymore or even pay attention to the world around them. Luckily, they live in Eden, so even their dumbest actions won't "ruin" everything.

    Sadly, though, MAGA has a chance as it appears we're entering into Russia/China territory with our citizenship and perhaps MAGA can strike a similar "grand bargain" with lazy clueless Americans. I suspect a large portion of our citizens would gladly just cede politics to an oligarchy so long as said oligarchy gives them jobs, yearly vacation, things to watch on TV, etc.

    Again, I'll believe it when I see it at scale. I have ZERO faith in people this willfully stupid to ever admit they're wrong. So, I'll believe it when I see it.

    That’s pretty much it, these people thought Trump would only hurt Mexicans and “DEI hires” (non-white people, gay people, women, etc) … ‘not us Christian white folk who done voted for ‘em.’

    Yes I think that’s pretty much their only goal since every time I see an outraged Democrat railing against every DOGE email, and every EO signed has them gleefully displaying the reactions on FoxNews. In this case it might be best if democrats just sit back and let them collapse under the weight of their own trolling, and take away what they want the most — a reaction.

    Yep, a lot of folks about to discover that the bloated gov that they complain about isnt all in DC. These R congressmen just reinforce the saying " the rules are for you not for me".
