President Donald Trump's mass purge of federal workers from the civil service accidentally swept up safety inspectors on the front lines of containing a bird flu outbreak — and his administration is struggling to rehire them.

All this would be far more interesting and entertaining if any amount of "shredding" would result in any consequences.

But I've reached the point where both his base and the legal system have proven to me that nothing he does will be a bridge too far.

Laws, court orders, likely deaths of US citizens, likely deaths of non-US citizens, these are all things that hold no sway for the Trump admin because we the people, as a nation, have demonstrated that neither his popularity, his prosperity, nor his freedom will be impacted by anything he does, whatsoever.

So yay, he was shredded after doing a monumentally stupid thing that will probably kill some people. Again. And there will be no other ramifications.

Just another day ending in -y.

I just wish they’d actually shred him at this point.
