Necks in the Noose Exec Order signed today [View all]

45/140 pronounced a death sentence on (quite likely) a SIGNIFICANT number of federal workers.

I've watched this before and this will be CHILLING. Federal workers, no matter what and where, will be far more nervous about their positions than they deserve to be.

Ironically, a guy who lives on the property behind mine works for the feds at a "3 Letter Agency". He told me, kinda sheepishly, that he voted for 45/140 because "Hillary might be bad for him because she might cut some jobs from this guy's agency." I wonder how he and his wife (also a 45/140 vote, also a fed) feel about things now. I feel bad for them, actually, as they're good people, great neighbors, and generally caring for those with less.

No link. Live TV.
