So Trump reportedly wants to cut government budgets by 10% and reduce staff by 20%. Does that include military budget and staff? Little known fact: military personnel – excuse me, warfighters – no, excuse me again, our heroes! – are federal employees. Betcha didn’t know that.
Well, that’s a very Newt Gingrich idea. That story also says he wants rid of the Congressional Budget Office. Do people still believe him when he says this is about “conservatism” or “balanced budgets”? It’s pretty obvious that he’s about something else.
Kelly Anne Conway beat him to it.
I can’t decide if she dressed up like a toy soldier for this very special day, or is participating in a high school marching band.
Inspired by the city of London. Nice all American wear.
No points for me since Trump didn’t do it. But I imagine tomorrow he’ll have plenty to say about the lying media and all the “fake” pictures of his huge record-breaking best crowd in the history of crowds.
You should get points. Even if he didn’t do it personally, his people knew what was wanted.
And made in Italy, of course. $3600 for that? Well, at least it has cats on it.
Well, he could still do it. He probably doesn’t know they’ve already been busted, or wouldn’t care. Hope springs eternal!
Remember when Obama was mocked as an elitist because he asked for dijon mustard on a burger? Good times.
Crimethink ! Crimethink !
Actually, that’s not what he said at all. Federal employees who sabotage their own agencies in a fit of pique over funding cuts should be fired.
You forgot the actual quote. Very dishonest asshole!
The context is firing employees who sabotage their agencies. The quote is an observation that most of them are Clinton voters.
I don’t believe federal law prevents firing for something like sabotage. Unless sabotage is not lining up to kiss the twin globes.
Who they voted for is immaterial.
By adaher’s rationale, half of Trump’s cabinet nominees should be shit-canned right now.

No, no it’s not. It’s not ‘who sabotage’ It’s who is ‘likely’ to sabotage.
Bolding mine.
Gingrich thinks it’s ‘likely’ that they will sabotage each new cabinet secretary. Probably because it’s something he would do.
No, most of the people who want to sabotage their agencies are Trump’s own Cabinet nominees. What he wants to do is a Soviet-style purge.
In this case, the “sabotage” is preventing the agency from being destroyed.
The context is to fire people who voted for Clinton BEFORE they can sabotage anything. Or as someone up above said, “crimethink.”
