    Democratic Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is a fascist. Sorry, that’s the rule, I didn’t make it up. It was the media and the swath of government workers
    who got pink slips at the State Department this week. You’d think these
    folks were selected to be executed by their reactions, a coddled, entitled
    weep fest as these staffers thought their government jobs were lifetime contracts.

    One thing I never realized until I moved to the DC area is the absolutely insane amount of people who think they are entitled to a job in government
    - forever.

    It is part of the rot in DC and they need a reality check about how the
    actual world works.

    State Department staffers have been leaving little notes, like “resist
    fascism” over the cuts, so it’s funny that while everyone melts down over Trump’s modifications to the federal workforce, Gov. Moore is doing the
    same thing (via WTOP):

    Thousands of state employees were notified by email Thursday of a buyout program, part of a plan by Gov. Wes Moore (D) to reduce the size of state government and cut $121 million from ongoing personnel expenses.

    Details of the “voluntary separation program” were also posted on the
    website of the state Department of Budget and Management. The plan, first announced in late June, offers eligible, full-time employees in the
    executive branch $20,000, plus an additional $300 for each year of
    service. It will also cover six months of paid state health benefits and
    pay out unused leave and compensatory time.

    There is no target for the number of employees the state is hoping will
    take the buyout, officials said.

    “The VSP is one of several actions the governor has implemented to achieve
    the $121 million reduction, including the hiring freeze already
    announced,” a spokesperson for the Department of Budget and Management
    said in an email Friday.

    I don’t usually like seeing people get chopped down at the knees like
    this, but I can’t stand it. Working families have endured worse for generations. People get fired every day; it sucks, but we’re treating the
    cuts in the Washington workforce as if Trump were the first president ever
    to terminate employment. Get a grip.

    November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
    forward to America being great again.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
    / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer liberal democrat donors.
