Democrats keep trying to make federal worker victimhood happen. No matter how often they’re told it’s not happening, they keep tripling, quadrupling and decupling down on it.
Next up is Trump’s speech to Congress.
Some Senate and House Dems are planning to boycott it.
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), one of the most senior Democrats in the Senate, will not attend Trump’s speech on Tuesday, Axios has learned
Neither will Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), who will instead host an online town hall.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) told Axios he is leaning against attending the speech because “when Trump does it, it’s not a serious event.”
“We want to make [clear] that things are not business as usual. Things are falling apart,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.), a DPCC co-chair who is undecided on attending.
Nearly a dozen House and Senate Democrats told Axios they are either leaning against attending the speech or undecided.
Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) all declined to commit to attending.
So did Reps. Don Beyer (D-Va.), Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) and Mark DeSaulnier (D-Calif.).
At least that’s a smarter plan than trying to bring America’s least favorite victims in it for media coverage.
Democrats on Capitol Hill have bashed President Trump over mass federal firings since the first dismissals began in January. On Tuesday, they’re hoping to hold a human mirror to what that policy has done.
When Trump addresses a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, he’ll be staring into a packed House chamber featuring not only Republican allies and Democratic adversaries, but also a host of former federal employees who were recently laid off by Elon Musk and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The fired workers will be there at the invitation of Democrats in both chambers — a strategy that represents just the latest piece of a broader campaign to highlight the real-world effects that Trump’s early policy moves are having on Americans who live far outside the Beltway.
Oh the horror, the humanity, the hollowness. How many Americans lost their jobs when Democrats shut down entire states during the pandemic? Three-quarter of a million Americans lost their jobs last year in the Biden economy. Only D.C. Dems could imagine fired federal workers becoming a crusade.
I hope the Democrats do boycott the speech. They aren’t needed and they spoil the ebullient mood of the room.
If you ever wondered what never growing up looks like, behold these democrats.
I’ll have my tiny violin ready to play
“We want to make [clear] that things are not business as usual. Things are falling apart,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.),”
IOW, the dims aren’t getting their way and are throwing a temper tantrum.
These people are out-of-touch fools
Every American NOT in government has been fired, laid-off, had their company fail or go bankrupt, or was made redundant at some point in their lives.
They also know that their taxes fund bloated government.
there is zero sympathy for such a stunt.
Do you think the average American cares about an overpaid federal employee griping about the gravy train ending?
”We want to make [clear] that things are not business as usual. Things are falling apart,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.), a DPCC co-chair who is undecided on attending.
The only things that are “falling apart” are your easy avenues to corruption, making you bloated jackasses rich off of our backs. And you don’t like it one bit.
Federal Worker “Victims”.
LOL!
Tone deaf. Keep it up, leftists!
This will make great meme fare!
Acting like spoiled brats is all they know. They assume Americans want to pay for this dead wood.
HoChill was just on Fox. It sounded like she was promising them all government jobs with New York. Had a Lady Liberty, biberty, biberty, Uncle Sam poster saying New Yawk Wants them.
Ask anyone if they care.
They're just entitle minded, spoiled brats.
And acting like it with their temper tantrums.
So much for "bipartisanship".
Of course, for democrats, *bipartisanship* always meant giving the democrats everything they want.
“The fired workers will be there at the invitation of Democrats in both chambers — a strategy that represents just the latest piece of a broader campaign to highlight the real-world effects that Trump’s early policy moves are having on Americans who live far outside the Beltway.”
Let me get this straight. The idiot left Democrats want to put on a ‘show and tell’ at Trump’s speech to Congress... which will, in effect, clearly illustrate the progress that Trump has made towards cutting government waste and overspending, by having the former government employees that represented a lot of that government waste and overspending on unnecessary jobs, front and center at that speech?
So, the Democrats are helping Trump by showing America that he is already fulfilling one of his campaign promises. And they actually think that they’re hurting Trump’s agenda by this little circus performance? These morons really are not that bright, as we have known for decades. Apparently and incredibly... they’ve gotten even dumber over the past decade. Who knew that was even possible.
Pink, according to morning news.
All this nonsense does is highlight how childish and unprofessional the dims are, and straight up nuts.
Bear in mind that the Constitution means nothing to these people. They rely on corporate media and TDS billionaires to cover their crimes. They haven't learned from losing at the ballot box and they won't learn when their TDS judges loose in the SCOTUS. They personify the adage, "If you don't learn from your mistakes, you're bound to repeat them."
Fire a hundred thousand more today just for this stunt!
Near as I can tell from what I read and hear (not just this thread) everybody’s got it against the “do nothing” workers but nobody seems to care about the supervisors, the chain of command, that allowed for them to have “do nothing” jobs.
The RAT pols might be smarter to forget about bringing these whiny snowflakes with them. Itmight save time if they’d bring their attorneys as their plus-ones.
The supervisors are the same as their employees. They came from that same group. Their sole goal is: PENSION.
Their sole method of operation: DON’T MAKE WAVES.
The nail that stick up gets hammered...............
