Alsup absolutely based, yet again. Common Alsup W. This is the same guy that has repeatedly bitch slapped the tech giants like Oracle and Google by learning how to develop software.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Empty victory. Sec. 1113 (b) of the CR that's likely to pass today.
If a sequestration is ordered by the President under section 254 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, the spending, expenditure, or operating plan required by this section shall reflect such sequestration
This will formally authorize the President to begin sequestration. Which legally allows him to start firing people. And as you can in the language of the bill, the budget will automatically correct to be whatever value that sequestered amount the President decides on.
So yeah, they get to be rehired only to be legally fired this next go round.
If they pass it Trump has a legal way to fire people and if they don't pass it Trump has a legal way to fire people. In a government shutdown Trump gets to decide who is essential and who gets fired.
Gods damn the spineless dems for caving into this shit.
Why is it always the fault of the people not in power, rather than the fucking shitheads doing bad things?
Nobody said it’s their fault. We’re saying it’s pathetic that they keep just rolling over and enabling it while campaigning on resistance. We’re calling out the lies and hypocrisy, and pointing out that they are just controlled opposition in the one-party state.
Isn't Schumer helping them pass their bill?
Yes. The shit-weasel caved in less than 24 hours.
Yes
We can celebrate if and when they're actually reinstated and the people who put them out of a job are put out of a job themselves.
Considering it takes ~18 months to get hired by the federal government, we might be waiting a while.
Don't you wan't yours then? I'll have it.
We celebrate when they actually receive a paycheck.
We celebrate when the workers that were betrayed are better compensated and at least 50% actually come back (they may have already found new work or may not want to go back just to be fired illegally again).
We celebrate when there's actual accountability for violating the law.
Damn right. Non-management federal jobs get absolutely pissed on as it is now, where pay is concerned.
Although unfortunately, I have my doubts that they will be reinstated.
