[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New shutdown plans from the White House: fire everyone who is not essential.

These guys are so dumb.  They're already canceling DRP and rehiring from Musk's dumb hatchet job.  So dumb, it's pitiful.  [/quote]

Restricting it to mandatory appropriations and law enforcement means that everyone is RIF'd (GSA, Interior, HHS etc.) And once things open up, they'll have to find all those employees and rehire them? How will they RIF people if HR is furloughed. [b]These guys aren't the sharpest pencils in the box.[/b] [/quote]

Be that as it may, I think this ends the shutdown threat.

Remember allll those people who said things like, "Trump can't just close agencies." "They can't just fire people." Tell that to all the people that are now out of jobs.

There's no way Schumer and Jeffries are going to risk this. The base can be frustrated and scream, but the practical reality is that the Dems don't have a lot of plays here.[/quote]

"EnD The ShuTDoWn oR iLL ShOoT mySeLF iN tHE HeAD" is even more insane than trying to call Democrats insane for merely wanting to extend ACA and Medicare programs.  Rather than negotiate, Trump piles insanity on top of insanity.[/quote]
