When are they going to cut new hires at the Fed Penitentiaries or at ICE?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If the Dems stand their ground, which I hope they do, it will stay shut down until these idiots come to their senses.

And their salaries...

😆😂🤣💯

This isn’t the debate. And why waste time on a “hypocrisy” debate with a cult that has no shame or morals?

THIS. They're fine cutting the insurance budget for the poor, disabled, and seniors, but are they cutting the budget for their own insurance. And some of them are millionaires, they don't even really need that great insurance to begin with but they're fine cutting from people who do.

Democrat and Republican?

They have the stance “Ok for thee, but not for we”.

What is the budget given to members of congress? Do you think most could function with less staff? I have serious doubts about a lot of them.

Cut pay for Politicians. And tax their bribes.

New DOGE standard for Congressman- miss a vote lose a staff member. Miss a second vote you're replaced

Name a date and time for everyone who cares about America and our democracy to meet on the White House steps to effectuate a peaceful transfer of power back to we the people! Actions speak louder than words! We need a solution not continue talking about the problem!

Dude, this is your focus right now? I’m not saying the idea has no merit, I’m just saying there’s a fucking coup going on!

This image is perfect as it epitomizes Republicans backing away from their responsibility and ceding power to Elon.

If you have kids, you better pay attention because this loser is in charge of your health care. If you even have any anymore, they’re taking everything away and they’re giving you the worst options possible look at this fucking clown

Me when McDonald’s says they have no more ice cream

Lmao

Get mad democrats

focus on the real issue: 4.5 TRILLION give away to the Rich, Trillions in cuts to Medicaid and SNAP that keep the poor alive.

You mean congress, not congressmen don’t you?

Yep

Like most of our Congressman, nothing but crickets when it comes to speaking up for the Constitution and allowing the orange mussolini to destroy our democracy.

Democrats need to fix their issues, too ... ishmaelslegacy.com/2024/12/06/w...

Yep!

same in Brazil

Send them notices that even THEYare no longer necessary if they refuse to accept their actual roles as a coequal branch of government.

Why do they need any staff? Trump will tell them what to think and do!

It truly is disgusting and a disgrace to their oaths yo our Constitution🤬

Just like they always get paid during shutdown. Costs them *nothing*.

Hey was that Spicer?

She’s on it, so to speak.

1) TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS 2) TERM LIMITS FOR SCOTUS 3) LIMIT EXECUTIVE PARDON & EMERGENCY DECLARATION POWERS I think this is something every American can get behind^

About right since they are all cowards.

It's pitiful and aggravating

This is Democrat politicians when asked if they agree with Trump’s executive order that there are only two genders. 🤣😂🤣

Not their pay checks

Just imagine how much better we could make the entire world if we judiciously applied guillotines and sledgehammers to congressturds... all of them but the progressives.

Weaklings. Nobody is going to trust either party in short order. We need young, constitution loving, dictator hating, loud, unafraid and unabashed, independent democracy WARRIORS to run and unseat all these cowardly excuses for Congressman. When you start with less, you learn to work with less.

😂😂😂💯

Hedging their bets?

That great philosopher George Carlin once said: The rich own this country. It's a big club and we are not in the club.

Homer could do a better job…

Or they get paid the average of the electorate/district they represent

The same reaction when TN congress people are asked if they support the cuts that hurt their constituents.

I would settle for them blocking Elon's minions from accessing secured federal information systems or protecting federal employees or actively defending the US Constitution from a foreign operative.

Good leaders lead by example therefore Congress should cut their budget and salaries and staff. Since they want smaller government and efficiency it makes perfect sense to start with congressional leaders!

100%

Yeah. Follow dear leader you sycophants.

This actually happened #seanspicer

Just like Congress go hide and don't do nothing. Instead of helping the American people who are suffering. Im not surprised it's been going on for years NOW it's worse because of Cheeto man. 😠🙄☮️❤️✨✝️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

Don't cut you, don't cut me, cut the fella behind the tree

Yup.

😂 but very true

They better be careful if trump gets his coup none of them will have jobs anymore........bye bye cushy paychecks and retirement benefits.

What’s gonna stop Elon from canceling my Social Security

They’re just Donald’s yes men. They’ll find out when re-election time comes.

Millions could saved if Jordan stop his fake investigations with the lies doesn’t have FBI agents coming forward as whistleblowers. I bet they would now if they could but that department is gone. Jordan used a Russian spider lie about the sitting president. Jordan and Comer are so corrupt

Trump and a lot of the Republicans said they were not gonna touch Social Security and Medicaid and Medicare. They bloody lied. The thing is they’re still gonna have all those things. Republicans can’t govern but they still get paid. They got to keep their medical pensions. What about you?

Because, they are cowards!

No

They are not afraid, they agree with him. These Republican lawmakers & the quiet Dems are complicit. They want this dystopian hellscape. And they will gaslight us about freedom & patriotism all day long.

Exactly 💯

Or any accountability.

I say that sounds about right. Need to do something people are dying. Because of services that have been cut it's not good for the working class or the middle class. 😠🙄☮️❤️✨✝️🙏🏾👎🏾

Exactly

Naturally. F’ them! Support UKRAINE! #DefendDemocracy #FightFascism #fputin #SupportUSAID #supportcfpb #UpholdJustice #TaxTheRich #TaxBillionaires #PurgeProsecuteAndImprisonElmoMusk #ImpeachTrumpForTreason #SaveFederalJobs #CodifyRoe #HealthcareForAll

You can bet the USSS is going to gain funding, and Trump will force them to hire from The Oathkeepers.

Can you imagine Marge Traitor -Green without anyone to actually read and comprehend for HIM?

If the Rethugs want to decrease the budget, all Senators & Reps should work for free. Right?

From 61111... while I stopped voting GOP (never was a straight party voter until now- principles over party) many years ago, you're rational. I can respect that- and miss you in IL politics.

Congress doesn’t prosecute laws. You almost have a clue

Yeah. Regardless of their party, the pricks aren't cutting their own pay, are they? Not that they make THAT much anyway. Even the president, at $400,000 / year, could be making more in a moderately successful business. Of course, that's not accounting for whatever they make on the side...

I've been waiting for this. When I heard that my new senator is paying for offices all over the state, but that none of them ever appear to be open, I wanted to know why the Musk boy toys weren't all over this waste. Maybe that's what will get Congress to pay attention.

Yes.. the whole lot of them, @adamkinzinger.bsky.social !

If one ever paid attention to America's founding, we need more government not less. We should not have a government control every aspect in life taking money and spending on expanding government and bureaucracy. I 100% support downsizing government and laying off politicians as a means for more.

🤣🤣🤣

They aren't going to screw themselves...because they enjoy screwing everyone else. They hide behind their evil masks.

Exactly

To clarify, “serious problem” with the federal budget. Cuts were largely not needed, greater investments are. All pales in light of the coup, of course. Thus, railing against the distraction.

what time is never?

And, sadly, it appears to apply to a big chunk of our Democratic Senators and Representatives in DC. It’s one of three things: 1. They’re scared of donor retribution. 2. They’re the laziest pieces of 💩 on the planet. 3. They’re complicit. I don’t want to even *think* that it could be all three…

I have a suggestion each congressman gets paid the median income in their state. Build a dorm with a cafeteria for all to live, no per diems and ban stock trading. Healthcare is through ACA. Staff is limited to 3. Docked if you don’t make a committee meeting or a vote you get docked.

Crickets

The Dead GOP is a party of LOSER! America should go there & bring pitchforks & eggs (hard mashed potatoes) when confronting these cowards. The GOP cares more for their private security over America's Security! Elona & FOTUS is the 3rd branch of government since Congress is impotent, literally!

Ummm…..nope.

Congressmen when you ask them about insider trading -

Yep because Hitler sent some of his closest leader to concentration camps

Of course not! Because Americans are "lazy", if every single member of the family isn't working like dogs 24/7 for a pittance, including kids. While these MFs keep just enough immigrants to clean, cook, maintain their lawns, drive their cars, pick up their kids, food & laundry at $4/hr!!!

What a great idea you have. Everyone should share in the pain.

Ask Congress to have the same health coverage that retired professionals on Medicare have

Or stop giving themselves raises. Or cut their health benefits... Or, or, or

Yeah, where is all this money we're saving? Have they reduced taxes yet? You know, you do not have to pay federal taxes out of your paycheck. You can go exempt on that, but save the money and pay it in April. In the meantime, starve the beast. If we all did that it would be powerful. We have power!

No salary increases?

Facts!!

Ha!

Musk will cut the Democrat staff if he can. It will certainly be a one sided thing.

They should. If we gotta burn, then so should they

Pass it on....

Congress folk in general these days 👀

They are not, Speakers Office posted on LinkedIn that they were looking to hire more people mostly legal counsel

Nailed it.

You voted with Trump 93% of the time including Trump's Tax Cuts which added 8 Trillion to the National Debt.

Congress: DOGE is coming

Hmm, while I theoretically agree that Dems should take the lead on something like this, this doesn't seem like the time to cut staff and budgets. We need more boots on the ground, more truths being told. Like a campaign. What could be more important right now?
