Trump firing tons more Gov workers tonight

At least 1000 more government workers got fired tonight—as Trump threatened— because the gov is still shutdown.

It looks like the GOP is not negotiating at all. Instead Trump is holding back Dem state funding and firing workers, hoping the Dems backdown.

The Dems need to amp up their demands. Now, instead of just healthcare credits, all these people need to get their jobs back.

Claims to be hitting “Democrat Programs,” whatever the fuck that means

He's just going to have to hire them back, like the ones he fired earlier. Democrat programs are thing that benefit ordinary people, not millionaires or corporations.

I wonder how many of those getting canned were happy peppy Trump voters.

Then the Dem states should stop sending taxes to the Federal govt.

Trump is claiming that a few thousand are vulnerable to being fired.

I’m hoping this is just a threat to the Dems and all these people Will be hired back

When given a notice of firing (a RIF-Reduction in Force), civil service is put on administrative leave for 60 days, after when they are formally fired. They get paid for those 60 days and, during that time, it’s easy to reverse the decisions.

I’m going to assume (thinking positively) that these will be reversed when the gov opens again. Also, there will be tons of lawsuits that may hold up the process like last time there was a mass firing.

I'm glad the democrats have principles and are not caving on no health care for Americans. Do the people realize this is what it's about?

R7. Just once. After they fired him into a tree, no other gov workers would do it.

When asked to trump about Habeas Corpus he thought he was being asked about a person. No shit, I'm not lying.

Kristi Noem aka freakish plastic surgery face is the one to tell Trump that there are violent protests in Portland Oregon. Not true. New Englanders, we need a massive protest of our own. It would get attention and we'd do it in class.

CNN: More than 4,000 federal employees received layoff notices Friday as part of the Trump administration’s broad effort to reshape the government while it remains shutdown, according to a court filing Friday.

It means anything that actually helps people.

These 4.000+ fired employees have been on the chopping block for a very long time - Trump has been waiting for the right time to do it. And the right time is during the shutdown, and blaming Dems for the shutdown. Yet the shutdown has NOTHING to do with the firings at all (as explained by Velshi on MSNBC last night).
