Now people on my retired military board [View all]

all concerned because Trump put a freeze on federal hiring. Oh my husband is retiring soon and trying to get a federal job. Or my husband was in the process of being hired and I’m so concerned. No sympathy. They should have been concerned before they voted for him. And yes..majority of them voted for him. 🙄 Now that it affects YOU, you are so concerned. Fine when he targets immigrants, other minorities and lgbtq. 🙄
