Another Trumper falls victim

[NameAlreadyTaken]

Hiring freeze ruins their plans...

[choie]

2. Oh but it was an "unintended consequence"

The delusion continues.

[keithbvadu2]

64. Yep! Definitely intended. The result does not care about your insignificant being.

[Aussie105]

73. Consequences were supposed to be fine tuned . . .

to only affect Dem voters, Repug voters weren't supposed to be affected at all!

I don't know where that delusion came from, or how such a system of favoritism/selectiveness could even be applied.

[Quanto Magnus]

75. how such a system of favoritism/selectiveness could even be applied.

Declaring oneself as MAGA was supposed to be enough.....

Bonus points for being a J6 insurrectionist

[Meadowoak]

76. probably Bidens fault

[NameAlreadyTaken]

91. Or Obama. Or Hillary. Or socialists. Or...

IMMIGRANTS!

[dweller]

3. Are the

Leopards circling your house now ?

🤔




✌🏻

[Ocelot II]

15. *burp*

[Bluethroughu]

58. Leopard is looking full.

A chewed up red hat would be a nice touch.

[magicarpet]

118. Oh my,... I'm a full on DJT supporter. I did not expect to get tangled up in this mess.

.... are squirting BBQ sauce and ketchup on her face. Is it too late to start a Go Fund Me account? Or just lean back and let the leopards enjoy their cheek and lips buffet ?

[sakabatou]

4. The leopards ate another face

[RussBLib]

5. Wake up, John Basham

...she probably would have had that job if Kamala were president. Oh, but then it would have been such a woke nightmare! Right, John? Idiot.

https://russblib.blogspot.com/?m=1

[tanyev]

6. Yeah, Trump will get around to fixing that in a couple weeks.....

[mobeau69]

102. "Two weeks"

[Klarkashton]

7. Oh tough ass.

[tulipsandroses]

8. LOL. I have been meaning to post how much his madness will affect healthcare. I've never worked for the VA but

I worked for two clinics that had government contracts.
What made him think that trump gives a shit about veterans?

[NameAlreadyTaken]

14. Maybe that thoughtful, tasteful visit to Arlington last August did...

[Cha]

21. Yeah, that probably did it.

[tanyev]

18. There are so many anecdotes of Trump bad-mouthing soldiers who were missing limbs,

needed a wheelchair to get around, or even had the affrontery to get themselves killed. Donny only likes veterans that a) look like they came from central casting and b) have professed their loyalty and adoration to Donald Trump.

[uponit7771]

97. The time he called them losers

[LisaL]

9. That didn't take long, did it?

FAFO.

[yourout]

10. They got what they voted for. Do stupid things and you win stupid prizes

[Meadowoak]

85. they never learn though, they will just double down with trying to blame the democrats.

[Wounded Bear]

11. FAFO demonstrated...

[BOSSHOG]

12. Oh I'm inconsolable

The tears won’t stop. Please help this HUGE TRUMP SUPPORTER. lil don would never do anything to hurt a HUGE TRUMP SUPPORTER.

Out of control government spending. You go on about your trump self basham. Tell your god you’re not an Episcopalian. That’ll do the trick.

Is inconsolable a word?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

67. Yes, it is!!! nt

[live love laugh]

13. Sounds propagandistic. I'd like to see them vetted then I will believe it.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

17. Well, his profile describes him as

"Meteorologist, AI, Data Scientist, @USArmy Ret, #IC, Fmr TX Elected Official"

https://x.com/JohnBasham/

[dpibel]

49. And capitalizes all words?

Seems somebody with that claimed level of education would know better.

Then again, maybe he's trying to speak to his god emperor in the god-emperor language.

[Self Esteem]

78. I've met plenty of well-educated idiots in the corporate world...

Anyway, here's his LinkedIn:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnbashamtx/

Does seem to check out.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

89. I've noticed that tendency

of right-wingers to capitalize evey word of something, if they are writing something for publication. I've seen that done in Facebook posts and a few email messages I received.

[yardwork]

119. On his LinkedIn profile, he lists a junior college degree.

He was also a combat medic and had a certification in meteorology.

Edited to note that, according to a Facebook account linked in this thread, neither his claim of being a medic nor the meteorology certification is likely true. Both appear to be made up.

He's also got quite a history as a wife beater and various other things.

He's also seeking a job.

[Self Esteem]

77. His LinkedIn

https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnbashamtx/

[yardwork]

120. Thanks for that.

[Cha]

16. Oh Bullshit with "Unintended Consequence"!!!

Suckers Born every Second with the Cult.

[Hassler]

19. More "burn it all down" voters surprised when the fire claims their house

[Seasider]

20. There's nothing unintended about this

The cruelty is the point.

[Irish_Dem]

22. We got royally screwed but it is all an accident.

[magicarpet]

23. Just face it,... leopards have too eat too you know ? NT

[madinmaryland]

24. I just sent them thoughts and prayers.

[LizBeth]

25. Selfish son of a gun. Want suppose to affect MY life!!!

[sheshe2]

26. Hahahahahahahahahaha...

Bite me!

You got what you voted for, you thought he would only target those WOKE people. He made it clear what he was going to do.

Go F*** Yourself, Johnnie.

Sucker!

[MustLoveBeagles]

27. Another person has reached the find out stage

Again should have figured it out BEFORE the election.

[rso]

28. FAFO

FAFO

[RockRaven]

29. FYTIWYVF

Fuck you, this is what you voted for.

[lapfog_1]

30. FAFO - Did this dipshit not read Project 2025?

Project 2025 would not only call for the privatization of VA Health Care, but also the Department of Defense TRICARE system for those on active duty in the military and their families. This will increase healthcare costs by forcing those with TRICARE Medical Benefits to use private health insurance providers. Privatizing TRICARE would cut more than $59 million in military health care services. Project 2025 also has Medicare and Medicaid Social Security Health Care Benefits on the privatization chopping block as well.

Oh and this gem -

Project 2025 proposes cutting benefits for disabled veterans, making it harder for them to obtain disability benefits by reducing the number of medical conditions that veterans can claim to qualify for disability status. Veterans currently eligible for a disability rating, but who have not yet filed a claim, could be denied benefits entirely, while those who have already filed claims, and been granted a disability rating, could see their VA disability benefits slashed.

Since he is a disabled veteran... his benefits could be cut... and his wife will never get her "dream job"

[louis-t]

31. And all of these cuts to veterans, firing thousands of federal employees

Medicare and Medicaid cuts, will barely make a dent in the trillions more in debt these bastards will incur.

[lapfog_1]

35. so long as the billionaires get tax cuts for their corporations

they really don't care about the tax rate for income... never did. They don't really care about the cap gains tax rate.

They DO care about corporate tax rates because they cannot avoid paying those.

The other taxes ( personal income, cap gains ) are avoided by "borrow, roll over, and die"

[Dem2theMax]

63. Thank you!

I was yelling 'Project 2025' at his post. I know he can't hear me, but it felt good.

Unintended consequence? Nope. It was a feature he voted for. Too bad, so sad, he didn't pay attention to all of the information that was out there, right in front of his face.

[Wonder Why]

32. John, tell your wife (you are a MAGAt) to get a job helping poor women who can't even get

D&Cs in some states because your false idol doesn't care about them or disabled vets like you and I. Or start an insurrection and see how quickly you don't get a pardon. Meanwhile, quit the whining, stupid!

[dgauss]

33. It's the gullible people that often get hurt the most.

But they can also be some of the most complicit in hurting everyone else.

Tough call on feeling empathy.

[NoRethugFriends]

42. Tough call? Are you actually serious?

[CrispyQ]

103. And just like that, snap! They want some wokeness in their lives.

[VMA131Marine]

34. I hope someone posted that his wife would have still been starting that job

if Kamala Harris had been elected.

[kerouac2]

36. We need signs that say - don't blame me

I voted for Harris .

Saw those trump signs all over.

[Dem2theMax]

70. We need billboards! Billboards in every single County in the country.

All of them to read the exact same thing:

Hey, Republican voters!

The Republicans control all three branches of government, AND the Supreme Court.
You don't like what's happening?
Blame the Republicans.
If some policy change affects you personally, and in a bad way, blame the Republicans.
Oh, don't forget to blame yourself.
You voted for this.

(Or something to that effect.) It pretty much needs to be plastered everywhere, to constantly remind them that they are the ones who voted for all the bad things that are going to happen, to them, and to this country.

[rsdsharp]

37. Oh, you thought he'd just hurt those YOU don't like.

You was wronnnnng, sucker. If the bastard gets enough time, he’ll hurt everybody (but himself).

[islandelder]

38. Thoughts and prayers

Goodness. Who could have known? Enjoy the rest of the next four years.

[JHB]

39. Fella, just because you didn't intend THIS consequnce when you supported him doesn't...

...make this an "unintended consequence." This is all part of putting him in power. It's a package deal. He hates sick people and he thinks veterans are suckers & losers. Less money for the VA means more to funnel to him and his cronies. You and your wife don't mean anything to him.

[dchill]

40. Dear John: He wants to kill us all.

Thanks, but FAFO.

[LeftInTX]

41. It hasn't stopped him from supporting Trump

Still bashing Democrats...4 hours ago. His OP was from yesterday.




I wish one of these guys would change their support

[Strelnikov_]

43. "Out of control government spending elsewhere"

What is entitlement for me is welfare for thee.

[Baron2024]

44. Suckered By A Conman

And now the whole Country is going to suffer because of ignorant people like this. They brought this on themselves but they also brought it on the rest of us. So I don't have a lot of sympathy. Maybe they will wake up and oppose Trump. I doubt it though.

[Baitball Blogger]

45. They keep on talking until the leopard eats their tongues.

[UTUSN]

46. K&R

[Demobrat]

47. The funny part is

he actually thinks his idol would give a shit if he JUST KNEW what was happening.
Dude.

[Native]

48. Laughing myself to sleep.

[Buddyzbuddy]

50. Oh my gosh. Mr. Basham please know that

I am typing out a letter right now to the Whitehouse. I'm sure it will get priority handling once they realize their mistake. Oh by the way will that be cash or check for the million dollars needed in order to get priority handling.

[struggle4progress]

[damifino10]

52. Your not alone. H conned a bunch of you

He doesn't need your vote now

[Duncan Grant]

53. Cause, you know, libruls are the enemy.

I should probably feel some empathy, right? I do, but they knew exactly what they were voting for. They’re not really victims.

[Blue_Tires]

54. He can chew on it for all I care

Fuck his feelings

[flvegan]

55. This message was self-inflicted by its author.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

87. Love it

[JT45242]

56. Zero sympathy....he said what he would do

The laws of stupidity keep going through my head tonight.

You did something that hurt yourself because you perceived it would hurt groups you hate more.

That is stupid.

Your stupidity did more damage than my good acts and intelligence.

I hope they arrest you for being a homeless vagrant.

Fuck you and your "entitlement mindset.". What makes you think that you get healthcare forever just because you were a sucker and loser who got wounded in the military? Pay for your own healthcare you worthless leach.

He said he was going to cut entitlement at the VA. He said guys who went to war and died and got wounded were losers and suckers.

What was in it for you? Oh yeah making the lives of brown people, LGBTQ people, and other groups you hate mindlessly bad. Oh, that's not really in it for you.

Find out stage commencing. Enjoy living in your car you asshat.

[Bluethroughu]

57. Another trump supporter not paying attention.

He said he is cutting VA BENEFITS. Yes, that means medical!

[defacto7]

59. It's like a circular irony.

Musk/Trump said there would be necessary casualties. The MAGAs still asked for it on a silver platter. Now they have what they didn't know they asked for but think it can't possibly apply to them. They want to be bailed out of what they could have avoided. I suppose they think only "they" and not "us" should be saved from the pit they themselves dug.

Goddammit, I wish these people weren't so stupid. I have empathy for anyone who is suffering, but I have no desire that their consequences be alleviated. It's a lesson for the rest of their kind to see and feel what they have wreaked on us all. So be it.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

99. Collateral Damage

[Greg_In_SF]

60. If she was already hired

why was she affected by a hiring freeze that took place after her hiring?

[Justice matters.]

69. She was hired then fired before she even started.

Get ready for millions of stories like that.

A Depression is something nobody alive experienced.

Because of these cultist idiots, everybody but the top robber barons will know how bad it is to live through in 2025.

[Woodycall]

72. It's coming

Either later this year or next, it's almost impossible for it to not occur now. And I know much about such things...

[Greg_In_SF]

74. But her hiring was complete

and the employment contract was in force. It doesn't matter what day she was scheduled to begin work.

[wishstar]

93. Still just a job offer, not a binding contract and can be easily rescinded

She was going to be an employee, not a federal contractor and hadn't yet officially started her employment.

But new administration is targeting all new federal employees who are still in their one year probationary period and can be fired with little of no justification.

[tulipsandroses]

115. Yep, just read that somewhere - there are 220K new hires in their probationary period. - 25% nurses.

They are all at risk. I have no empathy for the ones that voted for trump like this asshole.
He thinks its a mistake for it to happen to him, but the nurse that voted for Kamala would not be a mistake.

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

108. Yes it does... I'm a retired Federal Employee. The personnel office issues an offer of employment;

all the official paperwork is done on your first day of work. Until you actually START your employment it's only an offer that you accepted.

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

110. She was NOT fired. The job offer was rescinded.

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

109. She was offered a position, but she hadn't started. Consequently, the offer could be rescinded which is what happened.

[Ilsa]

61. Lots of face-eating leopards have been released

by the Project 2025 administration.

FAFO!!!

Too bad, so sad.

81. Oh, that is good!

Very good!

[Aussie105]

79. It's sad.

So sad when voters base their voting choice on nothing deeper than the need to 'own the libs'.

Seriously though - All the best there in Waco.
All of America will be doing it tough under Trump, no exceptions.
Skin color, voting habits, job type, legal or not, Trump hates everyone equally. He is the leopard out for revenge!

I'm hoping someone will keeping a detailed list of all the damage Trump does, for the next administration to fix.

[Lucky Luciano]

80. LOL!! Hope it's real!

[fierywoman]

83. What's that phrase they used to like? "Useless eaters?"

[FB47243]

I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers…….

Life’s tough.

Wear a helmet.

[LPBBEAR]

86. F**k em

F**k ALL Trump supporters.

[boston bean]

88. Here is an answer they would give. There are plenty of other nursing jobs. Too bad.

You trusted Biden and took a job.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

90. Exactly

And a quick search showed around 200 nursing jobs available in Waco. It won't be difficult for her to find one. Apparently she's the breadwinner of the family. I'm surprised he didn't try to blame Democrats.

[dalton99a]

92. Use your fucking brain and find a temporary nursing job in the Austin-Temple-Waco area

Hospitals in Central Texas are desperate for nurses and temporary nurses

[XanaDUer2]

94. Exactly

They'll be fine. Hope this is a true story tho cause i love seeing Trump supporters ducked over.

[wishstar]

95. She wanted all the perks of federal employment that are criticized by Repubs

Good pay and benefits, decent hours with meal breaks and job security with eventual retirement pension.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

98. It should be easy for HER to find a job around there

HIM, well, that's a different story...

[MarineCombatEngineer]

96. Well, you fucked around and found out,

so, no fucking sympathy from me you trumpian losers.

[tblue37]

100. So much FAFO.

[sop]

101. Set up a GoFundMe site. Maybe Trump will throw a few crumbs your way.

[CrispyQ]

104. That "WE NEED YOUR HELP" sign looks like Oscar Mayer's logo.

Just sayin'. Guess they'll be eating a lot of hotdogs. I just don't feel sorry for these people. You're getting what you want with trans people & abortions so shut the fuck up!

[NameAlreadyTaken]

105. At least they'll have cheap eggs to buy!

Oh, wait.

[Paper Roses]

106. Dear Ms. Besham,

NUTS!
You may be upset but what about the rest of us who did not vote for this idiot we now call president.
Beg all you want, we will not send you money...if that is what you are asking for.
Many of us will be in dire straits soon. You just got there a little earlier that the rest of us..

[gab13by13]

107. I have a plan for you and the wife,

Since you are in Waco you may need help finding where to go.

You and the missus head on down to Buzzard Billy's, order some gator tail. You start drinking Guiness on tap and wife can splurge on cocktails.

Keep drinking until you can't remember what happened or where you are. You will have a few hours of blissful ignorance until you sober up.

[Buns_of_Fire]

111. Well, John, being ex-military, I'm sure you're familiar

with the term "collateral damage."

So welcome to Collateraldamageville. Population: You. But I'm sure your messiah will soon correct this injustice to one of his disciples. Feel better now?

P.S. Sucker.

[EarthFirst]

112. Unintended consequence?!

The plan to dismantle our country was there all along; in print form!

We tried to warn you…

[ajmstpete]

113. It's Totally Intentional - You are getting exactly what you voted for

Same thing happened to us in Nov. 2016, (except we voted for Secretary/Senator Clinton) wife got her psychology doctorate and we moved from St Petersburg to SW VA for a Veterans Administration job. After her two years were up she was all set and planning for a permanent job offer. Nope, sir shits his pants was elected and instituted a hiring freeze across all Federal agencies.

Our lives turned upside down and we came so close to losing everything. It took us years to recover. My wife is also a disabled veteran, he doesn’t care. Just wait until he comes after VA healthcare and disability.

In other words they are getting exactly what they voted for. Fuck all of them!
