doge fired thousands. where are they now?

thousands of skilled employees without jobs.

i'm sure results vary widely, but by now these people are being foreclosed and if they ever had unemployment benefits, that must be running out.

"we need police. the fbi just fired a bunch of skilled cops. can we help each other?"

if anything happened i never heard.

also appeals. we (i'm a federal retiree) have several venues to appeal a termination. i would have gone to my union, esp if 1/2 the local had the same problem.

my guess is that trump has used his super power to delay court proceedings and nothing will be decided until after he is dead.

for such a great business man, his deals, his contracts don't seem to be worth much more than his oaths of office or wedding vows.

if he can't keep a deal with AFGE how can an ayatollah believe him?

He and the Israelis blew that guy up.

And believe me that action he took to neuter the union still stands. At least until the court says otherwise.

And my guess is if the Democrats ever do get back into power, they’ll never go after the people who inflicted all this damage onto the federal workforce.

we need to have these prosecutions and investigations ready to go.

if it takes 2 years to hire a special prosecutor who then has to spin up a temporary law firm in a glacial legal system it is no wonder that that time runs out and the regressives run amok.
