The #fakenews is publishing story after story about the "protests" of federal employees trying to erode Trump's will and his base of support by making it seem "everybody" wants the government reopened. I have been busy today at Yahoo and other sites responding we support Trump, and not only that, the shutdown is a good time to re-evaluate ALL "non-essential" positions and get rid of most of them. "Essential" employees who are working will get paid retroactively, and I know banks that depend on federal government and military paycheck deposits are working with their clients etc. "Non-essential" employees are essentially "The Resistance" who are no longer be paid to "resist" the policies of this Administration. Please take some time to post a comment, and to upvote anyone who is supporting Trump, the Wall and immigration enforcement, and to downvote the whiny union bitches who are trying to shift public opinion. TYIA fellow Anons.
YES.
And, most of the furlough jobs are bullshit jobs. The Obama Regime "plused up" federal employees by some estimates more than 30% as a wealth redistribution scheme. For example, one very small, non-essential dept in an agency was split in two, so there were two "leadership" positions, two sets of identical staff, etc etc. One position was "filled" by someone who never showed up for his actual job interview and only occasionally checks in. "Non-essential" employees here in the DC suburbs love to brag how they can "never be fired" It's good for the average American to see how much fraud and waste takes place and the longer this shutdown continues with ESSENTIAL services being maintained, the better while revealing the Dems as Communists bent of a top-down centralizing system that uses patronage to reward and to punish dissenters like shutting down their access to Paypal, credit card payment systems etc.
We have a neighbor who was complaining that those who are "on furlough" (ie: deemed non-essential) WON"T be getting back pay, just those who must report for duty, such as air traffic controllers, etc. I have no problem with "essential" employees like ATC, CBP, Coast Guard etc getting paid, but I have a huge problem with the non-essential bloat getting paid. At the beginning, most of them were laughing and bragging on their FB feeds about their paid vacay but now they are starting to get worried. I hope the shutdown continues with essential personnel on the job getting their pay, but the bloat finding their jobs permanently shuttered. That includes most of the BS "research" our money is wasted on, "arts" grants etc etc. I hope Trump exploits this opportunity to the max.
Trump needs to make an emphatic statement that the "Big, Beautiful Wall" will be, as he stated, "at the request of the Democrats", a STEEL barrier that MUST be 100% US made steel. I will happily donate to the STEEL BARRIER and definitely want it to be 100% Made-in-America steel. The heartland suffered alot, and they need and deserve this. America First, #MAGA, one steel slat at time. The shills are working overtime on the "market analysis reports" to drive down the price of steel shares to try and fuck over Trump's economic recovery. They are assholes and Trump needs to use his bully pulpit to exploit this opportunity to support the Deplorables in steel country and coal country who supported him. 100% American Made, baby!! YAAASSS
