I don’t recall any articles by AP about the suffering of tens of thousands of private employees who were laid off during the four years of the Biden regime.

They should learn how to code.

Reminds me of the silicon valley story about how the entire staff was riffed and someone went and got beer and while they were commiserating in the parking lot, here came their bosses, carrying their own cardboard boxes...

Keep going!

With border security and deportations coming along nicely, there’s plenty of jobs in gardening, landscaping, roofing, carpentry, drywall, painting, pressure washing, concrete, nannies, or picking fruit and vegetables.

So many new opportunities!

My company was “downsized” in the late 1990s and I saw many of my close working colleagues pack up their stuff in a box and be escorted to the door. Yes it is a gut wrenching experience, but it happens to many of us in our working careers.

From the article: ...moved swiftly to shutter the foreign aid agency...

No. It's not a foreign aid agency. It's a kickback program and agency used to control foreign governments, not aid them.

“It is really sad to see such an important agency and it’s best and brightest, kicked to the curb for money laundering and not be prosecuted.”

Oh well, really terrible! Hey, Spring training baseball is in full swing.

The leftist trick is to create an agency with a noble purpose.

Then they selectively throw in a few poison pills.

After a few decades the poison pills vastly outnumber the reasonable elements of the agency.

Don’t fall for their games.

Worthwhile functions can always be re-instated in some form if they survive close scrutiny.

Washington DC is the only place in the world where 88% of the population are unindicted co-conspirators and accessories to a very Long list of felonies. The remaining 12% are the toilet cleaning, grass cutting, trash removing, dish washing, babysitting, shingle toting, "new arrivals" straight off the slave markets at the border.

Really. Everyone knows ones coworkers. Where I worked they would fire you in an instant if you knew or witnessed unethical behavior that ran afoul of company policy or the law and didn't report it straight to HR. Don't stop at your supervisors desk either! Straight to HR.

Nominated for best post for flawless brevity and accuracy in the fewest words needed! You sir, are a dangerous person in today's society. They fear you bigly.

"This article I further proof why AP was booted from the press pool."

Just going to post that. They never learn, do they? On the upside of media shakeup, Joy Reid is out at MSNBC and looks like Maddow may be looking at the door as they cut her staff.

Also, Bezo who owns Washington Post has instructed his editorial people to write more pro-America opinions. Then you have Musk buying Twitter and turning it into a fair social media.

Seems there are some legacy media reading the writing on the wall that their audiences are tired of their negative bias.

Oh, and don't forget the Gutfeld show that has bigger numbers than all the late night shows combined. If you haven't seen Gutfeld, you're in for some entertaining and LOL comedy. Although it is a little risque at times, he has the most clever, witty, informed, intelligent guests. Three or four of President Trump's Cabinet members have been on the Gutfeld show and I was impressed with their America First positions and demeanor, plus they can be funny off the cuff. It's kind of like a roast because they all mess with each other.
