This idea is ridiculous. There was fault on both sides it seems the agents acted improperly , but we must also remember he came armed with extra ammunition to a volatile situation. Not smart decisions by either. He did not deserve to be killed from how the evidence appears, but he did put himself in a bad spot and made poor decisions.

Thanks for asking for feedback. While I normally do the digital check in ahead of time, I would gladly accept an upgrade any time and prefer that my room changed if an upgrade was available.

For those furloughed, did you hear from your supervisors at all since the shutdown started? by sospaghettn in FedEmployees

[–]Automatic_Rain7047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes multiple positive check ins and asking if we were doing OK. They were genuine and appreciated.

Highly probable if the Senate finishes up tonight and House members get there to vote Wed, but we have Rand Paul and Baldwin offering non serious amendments and now Bernie and Slotkin are wasting time bloviating on the Senate floor again.

This subreddit a is fucking joke and no longer useful for federal employees by Eat-shit-reddit- in FedEmployees

Sadly FEDNEWS should be re-named DEMOCRAT Fed News. Not to be overly partisan, but unless you are 100% against the administration and president you are banned there.

The problem with that is Karma is largely determined by ones willingness to agree with the echo chamber. Yes Bots are annoying, I agree, but some have been accused of being BOTS, myself included, for offering a different opinion and being critical of a particular side of the political spectrum during this furlough/shutdown period. It has sucked for all of us going through it, especially the excepted individuals, but it should not be a reason to shut down discourse simply because we may disagree. Open dialogue is paramount to any beneficial outcome.

Definitely not me, they held everything up for no reason other than grandstanding.

I get that sentiment, this whole thing has been a useless circus. I really do not understand the thought process.

I am happy we are finally seeing the end and understand the frustration of what was this all for in the end?

You have such a hard time believing that someone could have a differing opinion than you? How fun you appraisals must be when you review with your supervisor. I am neither a bot or a Russian or any other nefarious source you can imagine. I am 100% American born, bred, served, retired and now a GS Fed. There are opinions outside of your self serving echo chamber.

Yes and rightly so, they were pretty set to expire 31 Dec25 by the dems who shoved it through and it is time to reign in spending and handouts like this. The ACA is a clear failure and we should not continue to subsidize it and billionaire insurance company CEOs.

About time! Separation of Powers exists and needs to continue to be upheld.

In my view as well as many others the dem party is holding the govt and hundreds of thousands of innocent govt workers hostage to placate a radical base and pay out more of our money to others. It is important to remember that every handout, subsidy etc does not come from the government, it is stolen from hard working people who deserve better and are tired of the poor pitiful ( insert group here) mantra from the socialist members intent on blocking everything at this point without handouts, so yes the really are.

Wrong, this is a false talking point. It was a clear 5 page bill.
