DOGE for thee, but not for me
Trump was only supposed to hurt “those people”:
“Jennifer Piggott proudly hung a red-and-blue Trump campaign flag outside her one-story home during the November election race. Now, after she was abruptly fired from her civil service job, her days of supporting the president are over.
“Piggott is among more than 125 people dismissed in February from the Treasury Department’s Bureau of Fiscal Service in Parkersburg, West Virginia, unsettling a community that voted overwhelmingly for Republican President Donald Trump.
“Nobody that I’ve talked to understood the devastation that having this administration in office would do to our lives,” Piggott, 47, told Reuters in an interview, saying she would not have supported Trump if she knew then what she knows now.
“As much as I think that President Trump is doing wonderful things for the country in some regards, I don’t understand this at all,” she said.”
Many folks who voted against Trump are experiencing schadenfreude at seeing the axes fall. In this case, I second that emotion. But there is going to be a lot of collateral damage before the midterms, the first opportunity for Congress to assert itself as a co-equal branch of government. Until then, the suffering will continue for both red and blue voters.
DOGE bites Trump voter

Oh brother, we went through the same thing here in Ontario, we all agreed on government cuts, except the people that worked for the government also agreed, as long as it was someone else’s department and not theirs. Lol…
@Franco,
So exactly like my post.
