Only a complete idiot would lay off 3,400 forest service workers.  There are needed as is the case for the others.

Gomer trump is laying off thousands of workers but he's making his buddy Elon filthy rich with the billions of dollars in US government contracts for companies like Space x.  What a waste of tax payer dollars!  Send elon and Donald on a one way tickwt to space!  Throw in tax breaks for the rich and his buddy Elon is doing just fine.

Claim:  During his time in office, U.S. President Bill Clinton oversaw the termination of 377,000 federal employees.
Finding: According to testimony from Elaine Karmarck, the director of Clinton's initiative, it eliminated 426,200 federal roles between January 1993 and September 2000. Looking back on the 1990s, it's strange to imagine a time when a presidential campaign was won on a promise to balance the federal budget. Bill Clinton did it, too — the U.S. federal budget had a surplus between 1998 and 2001, the only time there's been a surplus since 1970.

https://www.politifact.com/article/2025/feb/06/yes-bill-clinton-offered-mass-federal-employee-buy/............President Bill Clinton issued an order in February 1993 telling government departments and agencies with more than 100 employees to cut at least 4% of civilian positions over three years. In 1994, Congress approved the Federal Workforce Restructuring Act, which allowed $25,000 buyouts of workers.  Clinton’s effort to reduce the federal workforce stemmed from his campaign platform as a "new Democrat" who said the era of big government was over, said Elaine Kamarck, who helped lead the Clinton-Gore review and is now at the Brookings Institution’s Center for Effective Public Management.
* Bill Clinton did not have a $36+ TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT when he was voted into office.

* Like l said " low IQ" Maga supporters
In their world, all the corruption, fraud & waste in govt is carried out by people who are in not conservative or maga- it's Dems, illegals & others. It's like saying crime does not exist in Red States, only blue. Poverty, food stamps & other govt hand are unheard of in Red States.

* It’s not for me to offer solutions it’s for the politicians on both sides- but all this “ finally we getting things done” is MAGA BS. You guys carry on as though waste in govt only happens under Democratic Presidents. Your felon added to the deficit when he gave tax cuts to the wealthy on his 1st term & he gearing up to give them more- but he needs to find the money to do it, suddenly doge is the answer. You honestly think Elon is doing this as a free service because he loves the country? I have no problem in finding waste & cutting it- but the idea that the problem always lies with those opposite the aisle is misinformation. Those deep cuts are going to affect folks in Red States as well- but hey, you voted for this crap, so live with it.

Thanks Mr Zeldon for finding and canceling the $50,000,000 grant money that was scheduled to go to "Climate Justice Aliance", who believe that climate justice runs through a free Palestine.
What I am sorry to see is that $160 million payment was sent in advance to a Canadian electric bus manufacturer between between October 2022 and May 2024,. Unfortunately $95,000,000 worth of buses were not delivered to the school districts before the Company declared bankruptcy. Lion received the funding and became a Biden administration favorite even as it struggled to turn a profit and took on millions of dollars in loans. In fact, less than two weeks before the EPA gave Lion $82.7 million in October 2022 as part of the first tranche of Clean School Bus program awards, the company reported to investors that it had lost $17.2 million during the prior three months.
Since 2020, Lion has reported staggering net losses totaling $301.6 million and, since January 2021, its stock price has plummeted from $33.48 per share to $0.08 per share. The company abruptly stopped reporting its share price on its website in December.

* Since you so good at searching for stuff on the internet: How about a search on the WASTE in Trump’s first term, in fact let’s go back to Reagan & Bush ? It’s easy to point a finger & say look here. Besides- the Republicans controlled the purse strings the last 2 years of the Biden administration, they approved a lot of that stuff. We expected to believe that laying people off is the way to go about it. What would be interesting to know is How many of those folks losing their jobs voted for your guy in these actions?

Deporting some of the most dangerous criminals, closed the border, sighed a EO stopping men from participating in girls sports and is keeping them out of the locker rooms, Laken Riley's law,
What he's done for the collective is amazing, he's keeping his promises, .
He's committed to making Americans healthy again, we got a lot of crap in our food that doesn't belong there.

I know you feel like a man calling me low IQ, but that's you insecure with who you are, guess you have to feel important some how, maybe the people in your life just don't care about you,
He's making my Country Safer, He's making my nieces safer, he's making sure I have my rights and my freedom.
Your just a nasty attention seeking assshole , you know full well prices won't come down over night, he never said overnight, but he's keeping promises. I hope you get deported.

* He ran on Day one actions, are you that obtuse?Just get your head out of your A** and revisit the Real
World. You have been brainwashed into believing that America cannot exist without your convicted felon in charge. That sort of thinking is 3rd world mantra. He is not President of the planet as you would like to believe & your A hole thinking of deporting people as a solution to problems is shortsighted. Do we need better borders, absolutely- but he pressed the right buttons to trigger your responses. It’s why the racists  openly showed up on his watch because they say their kin in power. Keep making excuses, they will run out eventually. The felon already thinks that your vote entitled him to ignore federal judges because you idiots want a dictator running the country- perhaps your ilk should self deport to destinations unknown. America will not allow this country to fall to dictatorship! The founding fathers left Europe to escape that bs thinking- time for your ilk to re visit history.

* l dealt with the maga minions 4 years denial of your felon’s loss in 2020. What was the point in listening to you guys crow about his victory? He won, we all accepted that- if only you could have accepted his loss 4 years earlier, but you live in a bubble where your felon can do no wrong. I guess when he passes away you guys will blame Biden for that as well.

Hey LB. You keep complaining about Elon getting billion dollar gov't contracts. Why don't list them?    
Why aren't you complaining about this TOP 10 list of largest gov't contractors of 2024?

Amazing how 4 of the 10 are health care related. And that Pfizer and Humana are contracted by the DOD.

* No, that's the spin from the RNC. Listen up gullible one- do a Google search asking that exact question and you will see that Joe " lowered" the total of debris, he did not ignore their ruling, besides, Gym Jordan pushed that notion & once again your ilk fell for it.
* Anything the cult says you guys believe. Your felon said he was going to remove criminals from the country & that's great, but then he saw the numbers were not up there & started going after folks who failed DUI etc to show his deporting people- your President of the Planet earth thinks he can control other countries by ordering them around, so the hypocrite is him cause he didn't run on that. He ran on shxt he knew he could ram down your throats & you wouldn't know the difference because you gullible as they come. He floods the zone with bs to make himself look busy (Executive S) cause he knows he has you guys eating out of his hand.

GR....He/she/it can't help having someone do her work for her. She depends on other like the sponge she is. She has never done anything for anyone else...Ever....Not loved as a child or held enough as an infant, coddled enough as a teenager and expects people to do the work for her. Basically, supercilious but we know it's more along the lines lugubrious and mendacious. Just better to ignore the computer brave nocturnal emission specialist. Karma will have its way with her.

Yep CD neither one of them likes facts. One never posts a link and the other posts whatever the msm is telling them. And that's their problem the believe the msm. There's a reason every anchor person on every channel/network says the exact same thing. They have their marching orders to set the narrative.

* Seems like you made my point- brainwashing is alive & well in the maga community. I tried to explain in simple terms how no matter the proof l provided, you would reject it because you have every right to, then you threw yourself into the arms of a fellow cult member for comfort. Yep, you in a cult.

You haven't provided proof of anything ever. Not one single link.

*  If you guys believed in PROOF, Trump would never have left the WH in 2020
because the Trump team would have presented its proof that it won the election & not Biden. Why did the maga brand of “ proof” not survive the courts?  Why did the Conservative Supreme Court not agree with your proof that he won & override Joe’s victory. After all, that same bunch of folks had no problem stating that Trump had some executive powers while in office to avoid being charged?

* Your response is garbage. Providing links is just another bs excuse to avoid admitting you wrong. You do know that people read posts & if they not part of the cult- they have figured out that you pretty much full of it. You trying way too hard to sound intelligent.
