Robert F Kennedy Jr Screws Up And Fires Too Many People

“Robert F. Kennedy Jr., aka Brain-Worm Bobby, secretary of the Health and Human Services Department, told reporters Thursday that he plans to reinstate many employees and programs he began cutting last week. In head-scratching remarks, Kennedy said he knew he was firing more workers than necessary when he announced 10,000 job cuts by Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency.” 10,000 cuts. Because of DOGE. LOL wut? That’s a lot of people and I think it means the cuts were indiscriminate, like so many have been, instead of looking at the actual work being done and what people are needed to continue that work. DOGE is turning itself into a laughingstock. How many other places have had cuts made that were *wrong*??

““There were a number of instances where studies that should have not have been cut were cut, and we’ve reinstated them. Personnel that should not have been cut were cut ― we’re reinstating them, and that was always the plan,” he claimed while speaking to a press gaggle at an elementary school in Alexandria, Virginia.” Excuse me? That makes no sense – cut people only to turn around and hire them back, maybe trying to give them a lower rate? Reinstating them? Reinstating any tenure they had? How many of them are going to say eff off and take their chances with unemployment and a new job? You know there had to have been some highly skilled people in there.

It sounds to me like he’s trying to cover a really big blunder. “Always the plan”, right. “Those job losses, which left thousands of Americans scrambling for work and brought life-saving research to a standstill, are all a part of “streamlining the agencies,” he said.” It was always in the plan. Always? Then why did you cut them in the first place? “The part of that, DOGE — we talked about this from the beginning — is we’re going to do 80% cuts, but 20% of those are going to have to be reinstalled, because we’ll make mistakes,” Kennedy said. ““The part of that, DOGE — we talked about this from the beginning — is we’re going to do 80% cuts, but 20% of those are going to have to be reinstalled, because we’ll make mistakes,” Kennedy said. “And one of the things that President Trump has said is that if we make mistakes, we’re going to admit it and we’re going to remedy it.” Admit … and … remedy. Oooookay. Your public speaking isn’t doing too well there, boyo.

Teams hit hard by layoffs were focused on tobacco use, gun violence, air quality, occupational safety, infectious disease, HIV, hepatitis and tuberculosis. Ooof. “When asked about the gutting of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention program focused on monitoring lead exposure in children, Kennedy said he thinks that’s coming back, but isn’t actually sure.” How did this idiot get into this position!!???

To close: “This isn’t the first time Trump (who PAINTS HIS FACE ORANGE) officials have admitted to mistakenly cutting government jobs. In February, the Department of Agriculture said it had erred in firing employees working on the government’s response to bird flu ― a growing outbreak that’s caused egg prices to soar. And last month, the CDC asked about 180 fired employees to come back to work. The email to employees said, “We apologize for any disruption that this may have caused.” Oh, please. There’s no apology in that. Also, remember all the people in our nuclear program that were fired?  will admit I’m kinda curious as to how this will shake out. Of course, we shall, as always, have to wait and see.

*****And now, please read a very special request from our awesome boss******

Zoomers, if you have any spare change, please, we could use it. We are now entering month five of Trump Depression Syndrome, the moniker given to the phenomenon of a lot of Democrats tuning out from politics to save their sanity. I understand and respect that. I also know that somebody has to stay on the front lines, or there won’t be an army left to fight this war. So, that’s us. Please, we could use your help. And thank you for coming here to read about all the events. Ursula
