    More than 1,100 anti-Trump demonstrations planned in all 50 states this Saturday

    More than 1,100 “Hands Off!” protests and meetings are planned in nationwide demonstrations across all 50 states on Saturday in what organizers say are a response to the dramatic cuts to the federal workforce overseen by Trump adviser and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

    “Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them,” the organizers say on their website. “They’re taking everything they can get their hands on, and daring the world to stop them.”

          I can only speak for the V.A. regarding Fed. jobs. So my V.A. pain clinic director who I ended up being friends with after some serious debates regarding pain meds. So a load of V.A. employees were allowed to work from home when the 'Chicken flu clot shot' sheet started. O.K. fine that is over finished done.
          Well great their STILL working from home including her. How would you like to work from home have a recorder answer your phone when you call and if your lucky get a return call some day? That is the kind of B.S. P.T. and Musk are after. Call the V.A. any V.A. and ask for a specific dept.. Cardio, phys. therapy, vision etc. etc..
          NOBODY answers the phone you get a recording. Now some V.A. might I have had NO luck in my 50 yrs. with the V.A.. As soon as these affirmative action mother friggers get to work? Recorder instantly turned on and feet up on the desk. Your tax dollars at work that is what they want to stop across all the Fed. Jobs..
          Hell If I had a job like that I would be protesting also I damn sure would not want to give that up..

            This is what political chaos brings. It should be no surprise with the barrage of bureaucratic changes, firings, and economic upheaval taking place.

              Government "workers" believe our tax money belongs to them. I have never met a hard working government worker. They are all incompetent lazy slobs. I do not mean essential workers like ATC or some of the government regulators but the endless bureaucratic supporting machine workers like you find at the DMV.

                Go to a protest.
                Find the most whacked-out protester.
                Tell them that you can't believe that you're being paid $20k to protest.
                See if they completely lose it.

                  Once their in for 90 days at the V.A.? Good luck getting them out of their. They just transfer them to another V.A. and let them worry about the useless A hole. I had blood tests at my local clinic and this fat porch monkey man was snorting and hacking and making me frigging sick. I asked the monkey if he was sick as that is frigging disgusting.
                  "No its the after shave you boys use makes me sick." I almost said you should try bathing sometime. It was quick in and out but I could see the nurses getting sick listening to the monkey..

                      There is a large county park facing a major road near my house, maybe 2- 3miles and for the last several years it has been the site for Trump supporters, it sure would be interesting if they decide to congregate there as well, Cubans don't take communism lightly and that area is 90% Cubans.

                      This is old but nothing has changed: https://www.nbcmiami.com/multimedia/...-park/2314859/

                        🙄😴💤

                        My Give A Shit Meter isn't moving .

                        White Democrats haven't change a hair .
                        White Dems used to burn crosses in people's yard to
                        intimidate and force their will through fear .
                        Now , White Dems fire bomb car dealerships and
                        burn / vandalize privately owned vehicles to intimidate
                        and force their will through fear

                          I don't see this going anywhere. At best, they might get small groups of agitators in the big cities. As always, rural areas will be completely unaffected.

                          Today's the big day, so we'll see if I'm right or not.

                              It was a big nothing-burger just like we all thought.
