What makes it so incredibly different is it is OUR tax dollars that pays THEM. We're their boss behind their paychecks and if 50% of the nation isn't paying taxes, we just cannot keep going the way they were with the fraud and abuse of the system.
With banks preparing for a Black Monday with deep margin calls...these types of protests seem to display a level of ignorance at the castle workers in D.C.
They are government employees that’s all most don’t seem to care or understand that they are part of a 36 trillion dollar problem.
“I am wondering if these government employees truly understand how much the country really doesn’t care? “
No need to wonder. Since the end of Reagan’s presidency private sector employees have experienced the job killing impacts of technology (personal computers and the Internet) and globalist one sided free trade policies resulting in the deindustrialization of the U.S. and the loss of millions of middle class jobs. At the same time federal government direct employment, and employment at NGO’s, lobbying firms, consulting firms and law firms dependent on government spending exploded.
Politicians and federal bureaucrats told jobless private sector employees to “learn to code” while at the same time greasing the tracks for hundreds of thousands of foreign IT workers to obtain work visas to take those coding jobs.
To the extent people care about fired government workers, it is a feeling these cuts were long overdue.
All this time wasted whining and marching could be spent looking for a real job. I saw for 21 years all those career civilian employees who had it made in their jobs sitting on their fat asses, taking their own good time getting anything done. Made me want to puke. You could not fire one of them. If you counseled one of them for a lousy job, you had to keep doing it for a year or more, every 90 days, telling them what they were doing wrong, how to correct it, repeat, repeat. BUT, if you left that supervisory job, you could not give their file to your replacement so he/she could keep the ball rolling. NO! THEY GOT A DO OVER!! The new person had to see what was going on and start the process all over again. So, you never got rid of one of these bums.
The district of corruption bed bugs make themselves visible.
If they were pro-Trump under biden, they’d all be arrested as *insurrectionists*.
I watched Penguinsix regularly. He shows a lot of the “behind the scenes” stuff in D.C. Now that he has a Whitehouse press pass, it’s interesting to view things from a reporter/photographer side of events. I got tickled at him showing a “Save the penguins” sign at the protest rally. I agree he seems apolitical.
Another good inside view of government workers and lobbyists was by youtuber Peter Santenello a few months ago. Search for his video in D.C. Lady on it was govt worker and said she was basically punished for working hard. To much to explain, but worth a watch if anyone wants first hand view of why so many got fired recently.
I went to high school on the DC metropolitan area, it used to be said that DC metropolitan area was recession proof.
Over the years, it has proven that it actually is recession proof, but it has also grown exponentially larger and the sprawl is far reaching.
I’ve kept my eye on that area, visited ma and pa occasionally, even work there for several years. But when I left the first time in 1970, the greater DC metropolitan area “Mixing Bowl” at I-95 & the 495 beltway in Virginia was a Yield sign.
So things have changed... I wonder if it will still be recession proof post slimdown.
Are they “anti-Trump” protests or are they “pro-government fraud and waste” protests?
Exactly.
My joke to my wife....
“Do you know who was protesting in Washington DC?”
“The same people that protested against the Vietnam War in the sixties.
The exact same people.
They were 18 then.
They are 73 now!”
Where was all the J6 terror, screaming and crying? Where was the FBI. This is insurrection and we’ve even got Muzzie terrorists like Illhead Omar preaching against America and the losers who lost in November where throwing tantrums and doing the hokey pokey in the streets with all the sexual deviants. A bunch of Geezer Twerkers doing the Beetlejuice Conga. These protest shows me why none of them had any idea what they do with their civil serpent stay at home jobs.
Correction: PAID protestors protest president Trump- George soros uses unsaid money to pay the protestors”
Burning cities are all Dems are good at.
Old leftist whites.
I live in the Ypsi-Arbor area of Michigan and there was a protest in a small town in between of Saline. I’ll give them credit, it was probably more grass roots because the signs were unique. They are still ignorant and I have a funny suspicion a lot of them are government workers.
