The good ones have probably already found new higher paying jobs. The ones that come back will be the dregs. But what can you expect from a guy who bankrupted a Casino

I didn't know this. But his casino in NY, played out a gambler, they basically got that gambler into the position of owing money. (He had already been draining the casino by winning). When he lost he owed the casino money but the Japanese Mafia killed him before he could pay it.
I think that was talked about in the documentary Hyper Normalization by Adam Curtis. It's on yt if you're interested.
Move fast and break things. What could possibly go wrong?
Maybe running a government isn't like trying to start a start up with a 90% failure rate!
Considering they were betrayed by their country after years of patriotic service, you can probably find some of them in Beijing, and I don't blame them.
I would choose France.

It's all funny until you realize that the people willing to go back will be a bunch of spineless loyal yes men.
I can’t express in words how fucking stupid Trump and his ilk are. I just cannot believe these dumb mother fuckers!
Dude is this seriously all that's happening over there? Like this is not just a bubble with jokes, it's literally just all dumb shit bordering on satire?
We left satire long ago. I feel sorry for satirists, parodists, and other humorists who can’t keep up with reality
They are in a war with reality, and reality went and invented the nuke.
They are extending tax cuts for ultra-rich and corporations behind the clown show.
It's scary and sad as fuck. We are in for dark days i feel.
I've been doing my best to stay present with my family and know how to protect them first. Next I'll find ways to throw sand in the gears of this shit.

Yep.
I bet this dumb fuck pays for a terrorist attack to happen, so he can delcare marshal law. Then he gets unlimited powers, and won't leave the white house. I'm absolutely sure of it. It's ww2 all over again.
this dumb fuck pays for a terrorist attack to happen
bold of you to assume he's actually going to pay for anything
Just because this is a common enough mistake, I'm going to publicly correct you for the benefit of other people who might see this comment. I apologize.
It's Martial Law. Not Marshall Law.
Martial Law and Marital Law is the one that always gets me.
There's a joke in there about strict curfews and domineering personalities, but I can't be bothered to flesh it out.
It’s Martial Law. Not Marshall Law.
No, that's martial arts. Martial law involves less improvisation and adaptability. However, it loses to martial science.

WW3 even.
I've heard WWIV is expected to be pretty lame in comparison. Something about shitty weapons in the future. So we're really lucky to get to enjoy this one.
I'm kinda looking forward to that one. No more overpowered one-hit bullshit.
Has anyone asked Marshal for a statement?
At the rate of aircraft accidents, it's only a matter of a few weeks before a plane or helicopter crashes into a govt building or installation.

“Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear” oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck “safety workers” ah ok…
Good time to ask for a raise!
ask
that's an odd way to spell demand, and not take no for an answer
Everyone thought they were electing a rooster into the henhouse, but the rooster brought in a fox and no one has a shotgun.
no one has a shotgun
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was America
Fuck his stupid ass. Keep far far away from him
This seems like the type of job you could be patriotic about. Real patriotic, not fascist clown show. You have stuff with unmatched danger to millions of people for potentially centuries. This is real shit and this job might be among the most important on earth. (Or maybe it’s just my imagination since I have no idea what the reality is)
I’m proud of my job, yet all I’m doing is helping other employees generate more bits. If I help other employees do more with less, more quickly, do these clowns count it as waste?
BIG BRAIN.
Lol, man, I hope they're seeing these articles.
