The good ones have probably already found new higher paying jobs. The ones that come back will be the dregs. But what can you expect from a guy who bankrupted a Casino

I didn't know this. But his casino in NY, played out a gambler, they basically got that gambler into the position of owing money. (He had already been draining the casino by winning). When he lost he owed the casino money but the Japanese Mafia killed him before he could pay it.
I think that was talked about in the documentary Hyper Normalization by Adam Curtis. It's on yt if you're interested.
It's all funny until you realize that the people willing to go back will be a bunch of spineless loyal yes men.
I can’t express in words how fucking stupid Trump and his ilk are. I just cannot believe these dumb mother fuckers!
BIG BRAIN.
You would think this is an insult to the Trump administration but it is really a testament to the inefficient chaos that is the government bureaucracy. I worked for the fed government for approximately 15 years when hundreds of coworkers and myself received letters explaining the agency had no idea who we were. We would all have to repeat our background checks and resubmit fingerprints to the FBI. Some of the people had been there for 25+ years.

And you would be right. There's no doubt that some government agencies are bloated and overstaffed. But what this administration is doing is not even close to fixing any of these problems. They set out to allegedly trim a few sick trees and instead they're burning down the entire forest!
Echoes of late 2022 when Twitter abruptly fired thousands of people, then turned around days later and tried to rehire many of them. I'm sure it's purely a coincidence that one person is closely tied to both incidents.

Christ, what a bunch of dumb motherfuckers.
In any other democracy there would be heads rolling and people going to jail over this. But as usual your elected representatives with their thumbs up their asses
Move fast and break things. What could possibly go wrong?
Maybe running a government isn't like trying to start a start up with a 90% failure rate!
Considering they were betrayed by their country after years of patriotic service, you can probably find some of them in Beijing, and I don't blame them.
I would choose France.

Dude is this seriously all that's happening over there? Like this is not just a bubble with jokes, it's literally just all dumb shit bordering on satire?

Looks like the majority of the storage facilities are in Red states. Even though some are near me, I feel like saying screw it, let them stay unmonitored and lets see what blows up. A blunder of that magnitude would shake up even the most die-hard MAGAt.
You sure? That whole maga bullshit sounds a lot like a ruzzian plot to destroy USA.
Really a lot. Exactly like that tbh.
They’d blame the others anyway, fascists always blame everyone else.

you underestimate the power of the hatred that's been carefully cultivated and spread by the right and far-right the last sixty years.
they simply won't give a shit, even if their dick starts glowing green, as long as 'they' get it too.

i'd be ghosting those mf'ers, too.
I bet this dumb fuck pays for a terrorist attack to happen, so he can delcare marshal law. Then he gets unlimited powers, and won't leave the white house. I'm absolutely sure of it. It's ww2 all over again.
this dumb fuck pays for a terrorist attack to happen
bold of you to assume he's actually going to pay for anything
Just because this is a common enough mistake, I'm going to publicly correct you for the benefit of other people who might see this comment. I apologize.
It's Martial Law. Not Marshall Law.
Martial Law and Marital Law is the one that always gets me.
There's a joke in there about strict curfews and domineering personalities, but I can't be bothered to flesh it out.
It’s Martial Law. Not Marshall Law.
No, that's martial arts. Martial law involves less improvisation and adaptability. However, it loses to martial science.
Everyone knows it is Martian Law
Now that explains Musk’s obsession with getting to Mars.
Then the few people who don't are very prolific commenters because it's a mistake I see often.
Spread the word!
oh man, I knew that. I dunno why i said marshal law lol. Mustn't have been paying enough attention.
At the rate of aircraft accidents, it's only a matter of a few weeks before a plane or helicopter crashes into a govt building or installation.

“Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear” oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck “safety workers” ah ok…
I disagree with the "ah ok" part
You didn't let him finish. The oh fucks continue after an ellipsis of relief that it wasnt the literal worst case scenario.
