Fascists lie like they breathe.
Poor metaphor. They don't breathe.
Good fascists don't.
They're the best fascists, really.
Yeah, I got one from the VA in email form. The Hatch Act is dead I guess.
The Hatch Act is a U.S. federal law enacted in 1939 that restricts the political activities of federal employees and some state and local government workers connected to federally funded programs. Its main purpose is to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan manner and to protect employees from political coercion in the workplace.
That's the one. I learned about it in basic training. It's why troops aren't supposed to wear their uniforms to political events.
That has zero teeth for any administration. The worst punishment is firing. Not sure how you fire the POTUS with shitty people in Congress
Funny, I thought Trump's party had control of all three branches. I didn't think their opposition had control of any of it.
They do, but theyre 7 votes shy of being able to pass this without it being filibustered by dems. And theyre refusing to give even an inch to get 7 democrats on board.
The majority can remove the filibuster
I love that people keep saying this and no one has disputed that judicial is one of the branches and they "shouldnt be aligned to a political party" because everyone knows they're political too
I would bet by three branches he means white house, senate, house of reps. The three involved in passing legislation.
But those objectively arent the 3 branches of the us government...
Executive (president), judicial (supreme court), and legislative (house/senate) are the 3 branches
Yes, but i understand context.
LOL I've been seeing those notices on various government sites, I'm glad more Americans are waking up to the fact that Trump is the problem (a symptom as well of what has been happening in America for years). Too bad, the cycle of knowing and most of them forgetting will happen all over again after we make this overgrown man baby fuck off.
I would argue the opposite. People, sorry animals, are buying this crap that they put out. They generally believe this garbage.
Nah. The side who is in power has always taken the flak for a shutdown.
That is such an obvious and sad and petty thing to put on your web page.
I can't imagine the person who would fall for tha... Oh wait, magats will totally fall for that
every time I see these things I see the old man yells at clouds simpsons in my head.
T.rump: I can do what I want!
T.rump with government shutdown : uwu radical left meanies stop me I can't do anything
I saw something like this on the whitehouse.gov website. Blaming the dems for shutting the government down. Fucking arsehat.
Weather.gov has an apolitical message which links to commerce.gov/news/blog with the most recent blog post calling it a "democrat-led shutdown" (but at least that's in the body of the blog post rather than the headline and not a big popup containing a partisan message)
same USDA the orange turd and ketamine kid completely de-funded and gutted? riiiiight...
I'd be surprised if anyone bought into this... but Muricans did elect a convicted felon, pedophile as President TWICE
I often imagine the people who actually believe this and live in the manufactured reality bubble where fascism seems perfectly fine. It would require a substantial amount of personal strength to break free from it and accept the actual reality.
Talking with this lot it feel Like its like an iron will to keep head in sand and refuse to listen to anything I say, videos of politicians, or late night TV.
These fucks have the intelligence of a rock. They cannot comprehend the situation and lack the awareness to realize their mistakes.
Is anyone keeping a list of these Hatch Act violations?
