Don't worry about it, buddy. 8 months from now when those 77,000 Democrat voting government employees see their severance run out and they don't have any jobs available to them outside of being a Walmart greeter, we're going to have plenty of bitching from the Left about their jobs disappearing.
Same with all those unemployed journalists that will be out of work when their employers run out of cash because the Democrat Run Government isn't paying them for their propaganda anymore.

Quote:Those journalists and government employees think the work they do is important for more than just money. As far as a Trumptard can understand, jobs are only about income for the Trumptards and not about what the job actually accomplishes beyond money. With that kind of small-minded depravity, it is no surprise that Trumptards are shitty at accomplishing anything and also why they steal at work and will cheat or overcharge customers. (Also it is not surprising that 6ix has no job while, for example, my elderly sisters continue working as a nurse and a teacher of blind and deaf students. Their jobs are meaningful to them. 6ix's job was meaningless to him, which pretty much describes every Trumptard and their jobs.)

What to Make of the DOJ’s Attempt to Strong-Arm Its Prosecutors Into Dismissing the Eric Adams Charges
A former DOJ attorney takes us inside the absurdity and likely consequences of this week’s legal dispute.
By Dahlia Lithwick | Feb 14, 2025, 4:23 PM
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/02/eric-adams-charges-dispute
-doj-sdny-resignations.html
Dahlia Lithwick: We actually kind of know a lot of what happened because we’ve got both Danielle Sassoon’s resignation letter and the truly frightening response from Bove. We’re seeing responses from other folks at DOJ. Each of these letters is a love song to the rule of law.
Harry Litman: We know an extraordinary amount, and it’s all exploded into the public. We know that Emil Bove, who is playing the mustachioed villain here, actually in a meeting directed someone to delete notes that they had taken. I’m from DOJ and I spent a lot of time there, so take this with a grain of salt, but this is humongous in DOJ’s history. There are two things that distinguish it to me. The first is: Because of the written record, you see the naked conflict between a good-guy and bad-guy side, between the rule of law and raw politics, because the most unforgettable sentence in all these letters so far has been when Bove said, “Well, we are not looking at the facts and we don’t question the legal theories,” and that of course is the absolute DNA of what happens in the department.
The other aspect is: We’re in free fall here. There are two possible precedents. People think about the Saturday Night Massacre, and then in 2021, the first couple days, the showdown in the Oval Office involving acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen. The lawyers told Trump We’re all gonna resign if you do this, and Trump backed down.
So here we have a cascade of scandals and of very, very senior personnel in the department — the U.S. attorney for the Southern District, a Scalia clerk with impeccable conservative credentials, and her colleague who just filed a blistering letter, a John Roberts clerk with two Bronze Stars — resigning. And then the entire leadership of the vaunted public integrity section too. So this is very high-level stuff. As of now, there’s no stopping point. It’s like the Roadrunner cartoon where they’re just falling off the cliff waiting for the boom at the bottom.
Dahlia Lithwick: Yeah. I want to read just the last couple of lines of the resignation letter from Hagan Scotten, the John Roberts clerk, lead prosecutor on the Adams case, writing to Bove that any federal prosecutor “would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials,” then adding: “If no lawyer within earshot of the president is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”
Harry Litman: White-hot. Right. Wow. Every word.
Dahlia Lithwick: For lawyers, this is screaming.
Harry Litman: An atom bomb across the sky for sure.

Eruption In "BleachBit," "Wipe Hard Drive," "Offshore Bank" Searches In DC Suggest Deep State Panic Mode
Internet search trends in the Washington, DC, metro area have been nothing short of stunning in recent weeks, reflecting what appears to be growing panic within the federal bureaucracy as President Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) root out corruption in non-governmental organizations (NGO) and federal agencies.
Earlier this week, internet search trends for "Criminal Defense Lawyer" and "RICO Laws" went viral on X, fueling speculation that Washington's political elites were in panic mode. The searches coincided with DOGE's efforts to neuter USAID's funding of NGOs that propped up a shadow government, as well as begin cutting tens of thousands of workers from various federal agencies.
Now, more suspicious search trends have erupted among DC residents as DOGE efforts went into beast mode at the end of the week.
"Washington DC searches soar for "Swiss bank" (yellow), "offshore bank" (green), "wire money" (red) and "IBAN" (blue)," WikiLeaks wrote on X late Thursday. (graph)
... the search term "wipe hard drive" across the DC metro has gone absolutely parabolic. (graph)
And "BleachBit" too! (graph)
Searches for "lawyers" have jumped.(graph)
"Statute of limitations" also soared. (graph)
Why on Earth would DC residents panic-search keywords that suggest they are trying to cover up a crime?
[because] The accountability sheriff: Trump & DOGE are in town - and the Deep State criminals who have been misappropriating taxpayer funds for years are in panic mode.
Now DOGE's "Big Balls" member, Edward Coristine, now listed as a "senior adviser" at the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Technology, should focus efforts on those outbound ACH transfers >$1 million in the past few months...

Seven times Trump’s DOJ asked Prosecutors to sign documents dropping bribery charges against Mayor Eric Adams and seven times Prosecutors resigned rather than sign. An eighth prosecutor signed to protect others from having to resign:
Order by Trump appointees to drop bribery charges against New York City mayor had drawn protests from career prosecutors
By Corinne Ramey and Sadie Gurman | Feb. 14, 2025 6:57 pm ET
https://www.wsj.com/us-news/another-star-u-s-prosecutor-quits-over-eri
c-adams-case-94858730
The Justice Department asked a judge Friday to dismiss the bribery case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, following a standoff between career prosecutors and top Trump appointees that prompted a wave of resignations and exposed deep divisions over the department’s pursuit of politically sensitive cases.
The filing in Manhattan federal court was signed by Edward Sullivan, a veteran prosecutor in the Justice Department’s public integrity section. He agreed earlier to put his name on it to protect others in the unit, people familiar with the matter said, following an ultimatum from Emil Bove, the department’s acting No. 2 official.
(Bove represented Trump in his election obstruction case, classified documents case, and falsification of business records case. Bove lost the only case, falsification of records, that got to a jury.)

We know. Propaganda and their Ideology is more important to them than their very own lives are.
Unfortunately, when the Government isn't funding them, nobody else is.
Because nobody believes in any of their causes.
Prove me wrong. Write these people a big check right now.

Criminalized FBI
Quote:
...former colleagues of the terminated “G-men” say this narrative is backward. FBI officials, past and present, have marshaled significant evidence via whistleblower complaints and testimony indicating that several terminated leaders routinely used their offices for partisan purposes.
These include allegations that at least two of the fired officials, Jeffrey Veltri and Dena Perkins, manipulated the security clearance review process to personally and professionally punish conservatives, COVID-19 vaccine skeptics, and Jan. 6 whistleblowers who reported suspected bureau malfeasance, and retaliated against those who came to the whistleblowers’ defense.
A third, Timothy Dunham, is also alleged to have improperly suspended security clearances.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) read numerous accounts of alleged misconduct perpetrated by these and other officials into the record this morning as the committee considered the nomination of Kash Patel for FBI Director.
One subordinate of the three terminated individuals, a former supervisory special agent in the Security Division, “SecD,” from which Veltri and Perkins hailed, and whom Dunham oversaw, told the committee:
I witnessed abuses committed against multiple employees by FBI senior leaders, particularly by Jeff Veltri and Dena Perkins. I also saw SecD retaliate against five of its own employees for protesting these unlawful practices. Because I spoke out against these abuses, Perkins and Timothy Dunham suspended my security clearance, costing me my job and continuing employment, totaling approximately $700,000 in lost wages and retirement benefits.
Another former FBI official, Marcus Allen, told the committee that Veltri and Perkins “caused the suspension of my security clearance because I questioned whether the FBI Director was truthful to Congress and whether the FBI was obeying the law and Constitution in the January 6, 2021 investigations.” What followed left “financial and emotional damage to me and my family will never be completely restored.”
A third, Special Agent Garret O’Boyle, who has been indefinitely suspended without pay for well over two years in alleged retaliation for whistleblowing, told the committee that Veltri, Perkins, Dunham, and other leadership up to Christopher Wray, are responsible for what happened to me and my family. Ensuring that they no longer work at the FBI is not retribution; it’s responsible leadership.”[ì4]

By this time next year, a lot of people are going to feel pretty fucking dumb.
And I assume even more of them will just finally plunge their heads deep inside of the earth one final time and never come up for air again, because to do otherwise might completely and irreparably destroy their Ego.
