Nephew just lost his government job

Welcome to Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana when oil was $10/barrel. Life sucked, but we got through it. Didn’t hear all the “Reeeeeeeee!”-ing about layoffs back then, either.
 
Ok. I'll bite. What is this Reeeee thing you speak of?
Sounds like a honest question. Back at the Poke political board, during Trump 45, it was an endless chorus of “Reeeeeee! Orange Man bad!!!!” Not so much anymore. The Reeeee crowd pretty much went into hiding after the 2024 election. They actually started trickling off in 2023 after one of their regulars died suddenly. Here’s a link to urban dictionary that offers several different definitions with generally the same theme. See also, “triggly puff”. Probably applies far more to other threads than to this one.

 
So niece sent me a text last night that her husband is now family job loss number 2. His entire department of which he was the manager was shut down. She's now waiting for the final axe to fall. Both are/were 15+ year GSA employees. Doesn't know how they're going to keep their house. It's a really shitty situation.
I wish I could be not happy about this, but I just can't. I don't mean to be a dick towards you, but I'd laugh my ass off if this were my own niece's family if they were MAGAts. Millions of people are going to be severely hurt before this shit show is over. The more MAGAts the better.

So, I think if you've been on here awhile you'd know where I stand on things. Some folks are really shitty, but I don't really wish bad on anyone. Trump people aren't all bad people. They're people who have been led to believe that he's an answer to the country's problems. Being in Olathe Kansas and Airforce veterans, they are primarily a product of what they are surrounded by.

It's a good thing when people announce for everyone that they're completely reactionary in nature.
