The dumbfucks have just been rehiring many of the workers that they discovered the government can't run without following the DOGE debacle.

Now they think they can fire more federal workers and blame Democrats. Even their base isn't that stupid.

There is no statute that gives the president the ability to fire federal workers just because the government is shut down.

It's another exercise in seeing what can and can't be gotten away with from the most lawless, reckless, and incompetent regime in US history.

I think the fact that we allowed cops to lie openly with no real consequences is part of How We Got Here. If the people with the ability to shoot others in the street are allowed to lie about it, you can't expect other officials to abide by a higher standard.
