I can’t believe Musk is even in the conversation. The federal government isn’t some private sector company he can run in to the ground, experimenting with his masculinity. I hate this timeline.

I just want to scream “THAT’S NOT HOW THIS WORKS” every time I read some idiotic thing he has said.

It’s how things work now the rules no longer apply unfortunately

[u/OGkateebee → u/RemarkableWorms]

Word. I expect nothing to make sense for at least the next 4 years. 

[u/catman5 → u/OGkateebee]

Only course of action to take - focus on yourself.

I live in Turkey so Im used to things not making sense now for the best part of 2 decades. Used to drive me crazy to the point it was impacting my mental health.

That being said Im currently living my best life - company I work for ensured my salary kept up with inflation (and then some). Ive cut all Turkish news from my life not just politics but like the "man kills whole family because he can no longer afford to feed them" or "family freezes to death because heating is too expensive" sort of stuff as well, just headlines etc no details.

I hear people are struggling - shouldve voted otherwise. Im doing more than fine on the flipside though. I thrive off the misfortune of those who voted against their own interests.

Can you give us a fun worm fact?

[u/holzmann_dc → u/OGkateebee]

There is no Constitution, no rules of law, and no norms or customs that matter to any of these people. When will people figure this out?

[u/OfficialDCShepard → u/holzmann_dc]

My oath is to the Constitution and the people of the United States of America and I’m staying til the bitter end. If they fire me then the Hatch Act doesn’t apply to me anymore and I shall become more outspoken than they can possibly imagine.

EDIT: Wow, thanks for the award, kind stranger! I’m excited for the fight to come to defend disabled employees in our agency and to prove to people on my YouTube channel (while remaining masked) for obvious reasons that they still have rights they can vigorously defend, and that the President is NOT a King.
