Trump Redux: The Death of Democracy, or Overblown Hyperbole?

[Buck_Mulligan]

Trump has issued what appears to be an "ultimatum" to all federal employees:
"resign by Feb 05, and continue on full pay thru Sept. 30, or risk being fired.

[Lucem Ferre]

Yeah hilarious.

Also how do you know she voted Trump?

She doesn't say she did, and the text in the video seems to imply she actually didn't vote for Trump - "is this what you voted for?". Note it says you and not I.

Just found this in the replies:

So she didn't vote for Trump, knew it was bollocks without even seeing that.

There's a photo of ICE taking a guy with a "Latinos 4 Trump" shirt that's fake too. These fake narratives get annoying.

Yummy delicious Trump voter tears. I know what I'm doing tonight. Looking for more videos like this.

Payback is a bitch!

Edit: Damn. JJ ruined it with his so-called truth. Boo. Suppose I should read all posts before replying. Oh well, as Trump voters say

Even if this story isn't true, I bet there are plenty of Trump voters having regrets about things that are affecting them in bad ways.

It's not true. There's no 'if' about it. Someone just completely made it up and gullible people fell for it.

[Trollheart]

So you say. But I choose to believe alternative facts. 
Anyway, DJ is not denying that's it's not true. When people say "even if" it usually implies an acceptance that it is true, for instance "It's raining in Spain? Meh, even if that is true, I'm still booking my holiday there" or "[insert car brand here] is poor value for money? Even if that is true I'm still buying one." It doesn't mean to say that the person doesn't believe what you say is not true, just that their view doesn't necessarily change.

To be completely pedantic and accurate, what we should say is "Even THOUGH that's true..." which is basically what I think he was implying.

Also, you're no fun anymore.

[Lucem Ferre]

I was going to share a picture of 3 suckers with mine, DJ's & Troll's names on them but it wouldn't show but you can imagine it.

[Trollheart]

How about this?

[degrassiknoll]

Propaganda be propagandizing.

I would love to quit my job but get paid through September... but what are the implications here?

Pretty smart way to get rid of any bearacratic resistance. Anyone who isn't MAGA is going to want to make for the exit, I know I would and Trump is effectively saying "you're going to wish you did".

Probably not more than usual even if liberals don't want to hear that. It's all social issues at the end of the day, not really the tangible conditions of people's lives.

You're also not going to hear a whole lot about inflation anymore.

Yeah I hate when those bears start number crunching and refusing to pass laws.

[Weekender]

The folly of trusting autocorrect absent mindedly.

[Trollheart]

You've got to wonder though: where do these words come from? Bearacratic? It's not even a word. I've had my phone offer me suggestions and I have no idea where they came from. It also seems to have murder on its mind. Every time I write a sentence like "I need to see you for the" or "we can talk about the" it offers me MURDER as the next word! FFS! I haven't murdered anyone in weeks! Well, ten days, easy.
