It boggles my mind that so many people can look at this obvious manchild, who's first to claim credit and last to take responsibility, and think "leader".

Watergate is tame by today's standards.
Working for the US govt, this is highly relevant to me right now.
"Woe is me, who could have thought this would ever happen"

That's easy to say when it's not you that has to deal every day with what abruptly became a very shitty workplace. "Fighting the good fight" from the bureaucracy will only serve to slow things down, and while there is value in that, it's not going to stop or reverse America's slide into fascism. You have no right to judge people who opt to try and be happy with a better job elsewhere.
The wording of the agreement was basically "in exchange for agreeing to quit in September, you can keep working from home." You are expected to keep working and if you get another job they'll stop paying you. Not as generous a deal as the headlines make it sound, but still may be the best choice for some people, especially people who expect to get let go anyway.
The short version of the email is "If you agree ahead of time to resign in September, you can work from home until then." So, if you get another job in the meantime or give them reason to fire you, they'll stop paying you.
Can parts of the US join Greenland, maybe? Please?
A badge of honor that's a significant upset to a lot of people's lives.
I started updating my resume when this administration came in.
I'm a federal worker: the tone of "You can't be trusted to do your job" would be disheartening coming from another administration. From this one, it feels like a mean-spirited joke.
A lot of innocent people are about to suffer so some idiots can learn what it means to say "Regulations and rules are written in blood"
Kidding, of course. They won't learn shit.
