I’m sitting on the bus right now, listening to an old man rant to amother passenger about how he loves Trump and was happy to vote for him, but thinks it’s wrong that he’s deporting “Spanish” people and that they should be making them legal citizens instead. I have no words. ---

Basically, Kentucky’s governor requested a federal emergency declaration due to the widespread severe flooding, and Trump approved the declaration, which opens up federal assistance programs [not to exceed $5 million](https://www.fema.gov/pdf/media/factsheets/dad_disaster_declaration.pdf). Note that Kentucky is a red state but has a Democratic governor. ---

He’s all for firing the human beings who are “cancer”, but is worried that Trump voters might also get fired. They have no idea how awful they are. As if the pain and worry that the deserving Trump voters are experiencing is bad, but when applied to a non-Trump voter is of no concern whatsoever. ---

How completely stupid ARE these people? "I’m so grateful that the election went the way that it did, and specifically because people like [Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.] and [director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard] are now in there, and confirmed, and can do the work,” What work would that be? Bringing back infectious disease epidemics? Eliminating mental health treatment? Giving everyone brain worms? Giving our intelligence secrets to our enemies? ---

I voted for you, Sir, three times, and I still support you,” the post reads. > “I was encouraged by the DOGE to see they were getting rid of wasteful government spending; I support that too.” > > “My termination letter said I was being let go for performance reasons. I know that’s not true; I am an excellent employee. I’ve been with the Federal government for almost 16 years.
