Democrats and Government Unions opposed to shrinking government

Good day all. True to his word, President Trump has started nuking the Deep State Bureaucracy from orbit. The Democrats and their media organs, aka the Democrat Propaganda Corps, are trying to build sympathy for all the bureaucrats that have already been laid off.


Since the layoffs are directly affecting the Democrats and the Government Union’s bottom line, they are trying to put a stop to it. Here are some of the details from the Epoch Times:

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) headlined dozens of Democratic lawmakers on Feb. 11, gathered at a rally against the Trump administration’s proposed downsizing of the federal government.

It’s an all-hands-on-deck effort, and we’re fighting on your behalf in the Congress,” Jeffries said, speaking to members of the American Federation of Government Employees outside the Senate Russell building. “We’re fighting on your behalf in the courts, and we’re going to make sure we do what we need to do in the community.”

You will notice that the Voters aren’t among that list of people that Jeffries claims he’s speaking for. You might be wondering about that. The reason is simple. The voters actually support the gutting of the Washington D.C. Deep State bureaucracies.

The American Federation of Government Employees is the largest union of government employees, boasting over 800,000 members.

I think that number is going to start dropping rather precipitously in the next few months.

One after another, the lawmakers decried the shrinking of the federal government, while touting the virtues of civil servants and unions.

What’s disgusting?” Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) chanted. “Union busting!” the crowd answered.

Well, we can see just who Frost supports, and it certainly isn’t the American taxpayers. As for that pack of “Protesters,” if they think that shouting out how great the government unions are is going to win them support, they need to put down the crack pipe and sober up. What is going to happen, or at least should happen, is the end of government employee unions. Even the Democrats sainted Franklin Delano Roosevelt knew what a bad idea it was to let the bureaucrats unionize on top of their civil service protections.

As part of its efforts, government workers have been offered a buyout allowing them to resign with eight months of continued pay and benefits. The deadline to accept the offer was originally Feb. 7, but has been extended twice by a federal judge in Massachusetts.

That judge was yet another Democrat who has never actually read the Constitution of the United States and doesn’t seem to care about the Separation of Powers. In any case, some 70K workers took the package. (Smart of them to do so) The rest didn’t and last week a couple of hundred thousand were shown the door. They will only get what is required. Basically 2 weeks pay and whatever money in lieu of vacation time they are owed. Nice work Judge. You didn’t think about that happening now, did you?

The buyout offer and other downsizing efforts were described by Jeffries as an “attack” on civil servants.

What it actually was, was an attack on another source of money for the Democrat Party. Most of the bureaucrats are Democrats and send money to the party. Then there are the government unions. They also send large amounts of money to the Democrats. That money came from the mandatory dues government works pay. No union members, no dues, less money for the party.

Explaining the move, Trump told reporters at the Oval Office on Feb. 11, “What we’re trying to do is reduce government, we have too many people.”

The Bureaucratic state built primarily by the Democrats, (Yes, there were some Republicans who helped), is a direct threat to the United States Constitution and the people. They are, for all intents and purposes, ruling by decree. They have been carrying out the Deep State’s power grab for decades. Now, finally, we have a President with the right people in place to do something to rip the guts out of the Bureaucratic state, and that is what’s happening now.

Backlash from the government sector against Trump, Musk, and DOGE has intensified following the administration’s attempt to close down or reorganize entire government agencies.

Around 2,200 employees of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) were set to be placed on paid leave at midnight on Feb. 7, until that order was also halted by a D.C. federal judge hours before it took effect.

That was an illegal order by a corrupt Obama/Biden judge. (I don’t recall which one issued the order) The President administers the United States and that includes hiring and firing. The Senate vets and confirms certain offices under the Executive branch, but that is it. The judicial branch has very limited authority here.

The Trump administration is also looking at either severely restricting some departments or shutting them down completely. One of these is the Department of Education. That department was set up under the failed presidency of Jimmy Carter and has yet to actually educate a single child. Instead, it’s been seen as a Democrat slush fund to launder money through the teacher’s unions. (Which they send back as campaign donations, less their rake off the top)

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said on Feb. 9 that she would like to see the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) shut down, or reorganized in such a way that aid distribution is handled by the states.

The debacle of the hurricanes last year, especially in North Carolina is one major reason to scrap FEMA and rebuild it. The reports, now confirmed, that if someone had a Trump sign in their yard they were to be ignored is another. Finally, FEMA sending all it’s budget to house illegal aliens is being seen as the straw that is going to break the bureaucracies back.

The administration’s efforts have been met with a flurry of lawsuits, as well as public demonstrations by Democrat members of Congress.

The lawsuits are a desperation move of the Democrats and the Deep State. The Department of Government Efficiency’s finding tens of billions of dollars of waste and fraud has struck a nerve with the taxpayers. The Democrat Judges throwing up roadblocks, or attempting to, is probably going to lead to the eventual removal and possibly actual criminal charges of a few of them.

Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Feb. 10 unveiled a plan to oppose the government cuts, and other changes being imposed by the Trump administration.

Speaking of corrupt scum.

His four-part strategy includes extra oversight by members of Congress, more lawsuits, withholding Democrat support on funding legislation, and rallying public support.

One problem for Schumer on the oversight is that the Republicans control the senate now and they are actually doing the oversight thing in a way that Schumer and the Democrats never will. President Trump and DOGE are putting out the information as fast as they can. Transparency is the watchword of this administration. This is the last thing the Democrats want since it’s showing the country what a pack of corrupt scum they actually are.

As to withholding support for funding legislation? Go right ahead. The Republicans are working on a bill that Schumer and his minions won’t be able to filibuster. Even if they did, it only plays into the hands of President Trump. He is ready for Schumer and the Democrats to play that game and will use it as a bludgeon against them.

As for public support? Has Schumer actually looked at the polls? The ones ones are showing more and more support for President Trump and less support for the Democrats policy of “Loot the taxpayers and the treasury.”

President Trump and his team are already laying the groundwork for the 2026 midterms. They are going to put up Republicans and simply use the Democrats own statements against them. There are also a few RINO Republicans that are going to face Primary challenges, and others who are being threatened with challenges. We are seeing the initial stages of the destruction of the Deep State. I wonder where things will be in six months?
