My department was down by double digits well before Trump taking office. A hiring freeze penalizes us.
We were down to 60% manning, including one supervisor and one who is about to PCS back to the states in a few weeks because her husband has orders. Our previous Deputy knew we had vacancies but held the job certs on her desk for a year. Since she left, we have worked hard to prioritize getting bodies here. Sadly I looked at it from the wrong lenses at the time as I took the what’s best for the enterprise approach. That meant my teams got filled last. Well guess who is the only Division now that has hiree’s frozen?
TLDR: don’t always think one level above you.
I’m stepping off my soap box. Cuts are good but I don’t think this was the right cut given how many organizations are already undermanned.

I understand the frustration with the hiring freeze. We're under one up here and the wife's department let to many transfer out and now they're filling 24 hour shifts for other jobs. The difference is our government isn't doing anything to find waste and reallocate funds where it's needed. I think both of our governments for the past few years have gone spend crazy on bullshit and let critical areas get near failure.
It seems like all you need to do is tag Musk on X with major issues and he'll bring it to Trump. Maybe some of you need to utilize whistleblower protections and start spamming X.

I'm not a Democrat or Republican.
The fact that the cunt pigs couldn't even stand for a kid that beat cancer displays the absolute hatred they have in Trump, in fact, I dare say, anything wholesome.
God will judge each and every one of us, especially those hoodlums that refused to honor a kid that beat cancer, all because, orange man bad.

The best part about Trump's speech was his calling them out on this.
Remember in 8 Mile where B. Rabbit opened his final freestyle by painting Papa Doc (who later went on to be a PJ and then Captain America, blessup) into a corner by making fun of himself, breaking the 4th wall and telling the audience he couldn't actually rap if he didn't have anything to say about Rabbit? And Papa Doc froze? "Everybody from the land of the free, put your hands up and follow me! Notice while these dems sit tough, notice not one had their hand up!"
That's what the president did. He painted the Dems into a corner by telling America "they won't stand for anything good I do because they hate me, and by extension, they hate YOU."
Then, he paraded objectively good things time and time again- and when that camera had the faces of democrats sneering at cancer survivors and grieving mothers, the American public could see who these people are.
My feelings on the SOTU aren't changed, it's all a show- but this was the Trump show.
"Fuck this speech, I'm outtie... now take to CNN and complain to 23% of the country about me."

No idea, but when we went to the Readiness model in 2017 (whatever that is) in the Army as I was leaving active service, readiness went down.
This... this is a masterpiece. It's as if someone put together the best snark, satire, and pop fiction references of Box and AWP, took out the Nickleback, and produced... this.

So this is now fully confirmed: Hegseth halts US offensive cyberoperations against Russia
I read a story just this morning saying the opposite. Let me see if I can find it.
edit:
Pentagon denies reports Hegseth ordered halt in cyber operations against Russia

So apparently President Trump threatened Hamas again recently?
I mean, I'm all for it. Give back our hostages or our military is going to start doing house calls.
But don't say things like this, unless you mean it.

Yeah so apparently the same day we did a thing about Ukraine we supposedly did a thing with Israel...I had a few friends subtweeting/subposting about that without context.
I'm going to give my right hand a break, the left hand GF could use a few dates.
Well, this was interesting. New Zealand's high commissioner to the UK got fired over a comment he made about the president of America.
Top New Zealand diplomat fired for what he said about Trump
I'll be honest, if that was the extent of the shenanigans I'm not sure that's what I'd consider a fireable offense. But maybe the now-former diplomat had a long-running case of TDS and this was just the last straw.
At the same time though, imagine losing your prestigious and presumably well-paying international-level job simply because you couldn't not insult the leader of your country's most important ally.
...at least the Finnish foreign minister had enough sense to not jump on the anti-Trump bandwagon:
Hm, imagine that, not going out of your way to insult someone that your country is probably going to need something from real soon.
