Protect civil servants because they protect you!”

Yeah its a protection racket but the taxpayers are not feeling very protected

“In science we trust.”

It's "the science." Sheesh. They cannot even keep their own propaganda straight.

[rktman]

Learn to turn a wrench. Just sayin’.

Hundreds? Back when USAID was paying the rent-a-mob, it was 10’s of thousands.

Ellen Bak, a former NIH scientist, said she was terminated over the weekend and that her research into stem cells and blood cancer had essentially been lost.

“The sheer amount of money and time and testing and care and effort,” she said. “Is it all just gone?”

Ellen, if you had been keeping proper notes, the research is simply on hiatus. You WERE keeping good notes, right?

Came here to say the same thing. “Hundreds”, rotflmao.

I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning.

Science - The observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.

Science is a process, not a deity.

With the border being secured, there will be lots of opportunities to learn roofing, concrete work, framing, drywall, landscaping…..
So many options!

[BipolarBob]

Tombstones to read “I died because there weren’t enough bureaucrats to keep me alive”.

[Macho MAGA Man]

The anti-Trump banned Associated Press is reporting this. Go figure!

[dragnet2]

Maybe they’ll release more cooties on the pubic to get their point across.

[rktman]

True but pretty hard to do from home. 😊👍

Trillions already spent. Yet cancer, heart disease and diabetes still plague us. They pull this “you’re gonna die crap every time their rice bowls are threatened.” Yet these maladies get worse.

There is no money in curing disease. The big bucks are in never ending treatments. The worst is the mental health industry. No one is ever cured. Just a lifetime of legal drug addiction. With the side effects of mass shootings, parents murdering their children, etc.

Out(house)sourced...yall's gravy train?

Taste of Clinton...remember it well.

Perhaps ya'll can get TWO or THREE of those (bullshyte) "23 million" (minimum wage) jobs.

"welcome to the party, pal"

[AbolishCSEU]

They forgot to mention that their “cancer research” is how to PROLONG and EXPAND cancer.

[Parmy]

Well, federal workers have never shown any sympathy to all of the workers who create the wealth and have lost jobs. Even when the government shut down and they were laid off, they went back to work (joke) with retroactive pay for the time lost.

That doesn't happen for the above mentioned creators of wealth.

[fella]

Some courageous reporter should ask them how it feels to be reduced to being one of the mere plebs that they hate so much.

“In science we trust.”

-
They believe humans can change the earth’s climate. So much for science.

[Retrofitted]

You see images of these rejects? Shoot, I wouldn’t trust them to protect my favorite spot on the couch, let alone me and mine!

Dahum!

[vespa300]

Public threats alright.

As in....Give us our cushy, no -show, work at home, which is really shop and facebook at home, etc......or we gonna Eff you up on the streets. We’ll Burn this mutha down!
