Instead of exchanging apple pie or vegetable casserole recipes, or tackling weighty issues like discussions of sportsball stats, or deep, late night discussions on the world wide waste with near complete strangers about the possibilities of them being your twin soul, some Americans have located their inner intolerant asshole and are at least doing something.

Federal employees from nearly two dozen US government agencies will walk off their jobs on Tuesday in protest of President Biden’s full-throated support for Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza, Al-Monitor reported on Friday.
The Biden administration has faced significant internal dissent over the Israeli slaughter in Gaza, which has killed nearly 24,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. Officials from across government agencies have signed onto letters protesting the US support for Israel, but a walkout will be the most dramatic step yet, besides the two resignations from administration officials.
But such drastic actions of walking off from your government job to protest your government bombing, killing, murdering and blowing up mostly women and children has to be dealt with…and sternly.
In light of the Al-Monitor Report, House Republicans are calling for any employees who participate in the protest to be fired. “Any government worker who walks off the job to protest US support for our ally Israel is ignoring their responsibility and abusing the trust of taxpayers,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), according to Axios. “They deserve to be fired.”
What stage or circle of Hell we’re living in where rat bastards rule most of the world, only the gods know for sure. At least some are finding something in them… to say something.
