Does hosting a fake news show qualify as a real job?
Unfortunately. And it's more unfortunate that so many people believe it.
Nah she just larping as a journalist
Got a sharpie, a map and large boobs? You could be a famous weatherman! Al Rocker has large boobs and a sharpie and a map. I rest my case.
...Says the talking sex doll masquerading as a reporter.
Must be a cheap model. Fox should spend a little more on their sex dolls.
I can’t put my finger on it but something about these people look like they’re wearing human skin. What polluted swamp did they crawl out of?
The lowest paid federal worker is still more important than any Fox shill
Federal workers to Fox: "Get fucked."
That's a bold statement coming from a actor on Fox news
The irony that a News Anchor is telling Federal Workers to get a "real job" when she could get one herself
A Fox anchor at that. Like, you literally have a job because you're a blonde moron. Take a seat babe.
Are you saying she's a DEI?
"news"
I'm a federal employee and have been for 25 years.
Some years back my parents were visiting from Florida and asked to borrow a car (I had two), and I said sure. Then, later, I said something about how busy work had been, and my father starts laughing at how funny that is - and calls my older brother - so they can share a laugh about me "working hard". Both lifelong Republicans, I will note.
I was like, hey, did you want to borrow the car that my hard work paid for, or not?
When I called them out on it, they said I was absolutely correct and apologized.
Bold card for someone who puts on makeup and reads a teleprompter for 3 hours a week.
Bold to think they can read, and aren't just ad-libbing whatever wet fart of a thought enters their head.
Every federal employee I know could easily triple their pay by going into private sector.
I anticipate we'll need to rehire them as contractors at triple the pay.
AF vet here. Big govt personnel cutbacks followed by "Oh shit!" followed by hiring expensive contractors that do half the work is a tale as old as Uncle Sam.
...that said, I dunno if there will be an "Oh shit" moment this time around: Trump is acting on malice, not stupidity. Weakening the US is his goal.
It's actually a very common right-wing idea to take anything publicly owned and turn it into a profit-driven private entity. Chances are, if they don't own that entity, someone they know does. When the contract goes over budget, you know they're enjoying the spoils.
Even if it's owned by nobody they know, at least it's profit-driven enough to bribe politicians for better contracts.
I'll hold judgment either way until I see a law repealed but I share the same fear.
That's the plan and one of Trump's buddies will get their share for holding the company that organises it all.
Imagine saying this to someone who works at NASA.
The moon landing was fake. Unlike all the blonde hairs of the fox hosts. These are all totally naturally blonde and wavy.
"Totally, tremendously real. Trust me, I know real. I can, 100%, totally confirm that her hair—like my tremendously great hair—is real. No doubts. Everyone else saying it's fake—they're fake. Fake news. Don't believe what the Democrats are saying. It's Hillary's fault. With all this AI, nobody can tell. They think it's fake. They think everything is fake. I'll tell you. Her hair, my hair. It's real. All real. True American hair. Didn't even need a hair dresser. Just wake up with great hair. All day. Every day."
Right back at ya bitch
I think that comment works better the other way around.
Crazy that Village Idiot is one of the most coveted jobs in America.
Huffing Donald Trump's farts isn't a "job."
Funny how they’ll say this to federal workers, but they won’t say shit to the military who are living the socialist dream.
Yeah, and if you ever ask a vet what they did, unless they'd been to literal war, they're going to tell you that they were basically just put in charge of stocking a broom closet and were bored 95% of the time.
Edit: just want to add that I do respect the military, and if anyone wants to tell me why I'm wrong, I'd love to hear lol
It's okay, you're allowed to not respect the military if you want.
Truth. Lol
They won't say shit to the military yet.
And many of the people I've talked to among different agencies are taking this offer. Those that were sort of close to retirement, for example December and the like.
So wait, is this dumb bitch expecting us to believe these people are forgoing their entire retirement for a few months pay? Or does she expect us to believe that retiring them a few months early and saving one or two months pay (basically fucking pennies) is saving significant government money? I genuinely don't know what else she could mean.
I guess that's what they do though. Throw out useless anecdotes, say it's a good thing, and let the user generate feelings based off it while having no idea what it actually means.
Right, these are likely people with fully vested pensions basically taking terminal leave above and beyond their accumulated leave. Most feds can accumulate 240 hours of leave to be cashed out on retirement. Trump basically offered people nearing retirement the opportunity to cash out 1280 hours. Much efficiency. Very cost savings.
Agreed! Making sure I receive my Life-Saving Social Security Payment is a Job for Teenagers to get their Feet wet! REAL JOBS are the people yelling at me on the TV that I can EASILY survive without!
"Get a real job" says person to audience who view her as a walking uterus
I hope someone punches her in the mouth.
Right back at you.
Even if I wanted to take the deal I'd have to work until 5/15 anyway because of the agency I work for. I haven't heard of anyone taking it around me.
I haven't heard of anyone taking it around me.
That's good!
Just to be sure you're aware, Elon Musk frequently ends up in court trying not to keep promises, notably including severance pay
Exactly why I didn't take the deal.
Really hoping a lot of those federal workers were active voters that were on the fence..
You think votes are ever going to matter again?
The federal government is the largest employer in the US, and I believe I read, the largest employer of each individual state as well.
