Summary

The Trump administration is set to fire hundreds of senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees this week, targeting those seen as obstacles to its policies.

The firings follow broader workforce reductions that began Friday night, affecting FEMA, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

High-ranking career officials, including Senior Executive Service and GS-15 employees, are expected to be removed.

    How the fuck hasn’t the TSA stopped sexually assaulting people yet? Wild that you need to either have a naked picture taken of you by the government or get felt up by the government.

    They can’t keep shivs out of prison, and they look in your arse in prison. Give it up. We’ve got the locks on the cockpit doors.

      This doesn’t make any sense. How is a lock on a cockpit going to oppress people? Think before you type.

        One of the things I’ve learned is that folks struggle with satire that is ironic or bitter rather than outright foolish. It’s like there’s a blind spot for ironic double speak.

        It’s about 60/40 on whether someone is going to come along, miss the subtext, and lead a charge against your tone without actually giving your words a second thought or whether someone is going to offer support for or explain your statement.
        Once that first response casts the die, you’re just along for the ride. No one else can see any perspective but that first interpretation.

        A+, though. I see you.
        Funny and sardonic.

          Lol thanks homie. I refuse to add an /s or highlight that it’s a joke because that’s just comedy suicide.

          Good looking out.

          Issa joke, we need the TSA because the locks cannot oppress people, like I wrote in my very legible comment
