  1. Maybe more gang than gangster Le Haine City of God A Prophet Gomorrah (film)
  2. Headline should be "Republicans in Congress Still Total Brownnosing, Scared Little Bitches".
  3. Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024). Great. Best cartoon villain ever. Hearkens back to Nick Park's earlier, great first three short films. 30 years ago...
  4. Count me in as staying on to be a hunter gatherer. Will be so nice without those motherfuckers here, even if I'm only gathering two headed crawdads.
  5. GOP (and possibly surly, motto): You can never be too much of a dick.
  6. Fuck that. I'm intentionally wearing one of my chapulin costumes every day for the next four years, NOT carrying any identification, and NOT answering any questions. Resistamos!
  7. We're not worried and you shouldn't either TexHam. Elon's got this.
  8. Visited my wife's 99-year old uncle in Scottsdale a couple of weeks ago. He's cock of the walk at his posh independent living residence. Yes, still independent living. His wife passed away last year. We heard him comment on some of the "swell gals" at the facility.
  9. ...sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads...
  10. They are intended to improve the effectiveness of "government" by eviscerating the federal government.
  11. I'm just in full vichy france mode and I can't seem to shake it.
  12. If that happens, we can discuss. Fork in the Road Doesn't look like any promises made.
  13. Not really. He said he'd to honor Twitter's prior severance plan and then broke an oral promise to do so. That case that attempted to say that the promise created an ERISA plan. I'm not assuming that anything is offered until the employees are provided some written document that promises the specific pay. Is Trump a liar and full of shit? Agree with you. Am I going to automatically assume that any deal an employee takes is unenforceable? No. Because I haven't seen the deal.
  14. The benefit of the buyout is usually morale. This administration is not concerned about efficiency - they might be if they end up deciding that the particular agency should sitll exist with a skeleton crew.
  15. Not wanting to sidetrack too much, but it's kind of hard to limit the offer without it raising possible discrimination claims. You want the people who most want out to leave. You want the people who want to stay to stay. I was a fed for eight years. Some very fine people. But some people that are mailing it in, just like any large organization.
  16. Okay, and then maybe he'll kill all the jews, too. But that's not the debate I'm interested in. That's more of a leopards eating faces kind of thing. And I'll leave it to that thread in a couple of weeks.
  17. I guess I'm focused more on the actual idea of the buyout than the "validity" of any communication. If it purports to come from management, then any employee relying on it would likely have a case for detrimental reliance. I will agree that there is probably no limit to how much Trump can fuck someone over. I'm more focused on all the things that we clearly have evidence that he's fucked someone over.
  18. Do you have any evidence that either offered a severance package or an exit incentive and then didn't pay it? Certainly that would be easy to find for Elon. This is completely win-win for the Trump Administration.
  19. Just don't fuck with the unfrosted brown sugar cinnamon Pop Tarts.
  20. I'm curious why many of you think that the retiring feds would get screwed out of their payment? Tiny price to pay to shrink the payroll -- most of the younger folks would find another job and be more likely to vote Republican next cycle. Congress would gladly fund it.
  21. Something tells me I'm the only guy on this board whose primary thought is "I wish Clinton had offered me this buyout when he got elected and they were talking about the government closing and I was ready to jump ship from the feds."
  22. Loss of trust is a perfectly acceptable non-discriminatory business reason to terminate someone. When it's based on a legitimate belief in conduct which reflects the same. We will see what the new standard is.
