      Figuring out they've been had, one person at a time.

      Former U.S. Army First Sergeant Nelson Feliz, Sr. was among those receiving a termination email.

      “We’re mistreated,” Feliz told Channel 2′s Richard Elliot. “We’ve been betrayed.”

      The “Notice of Termination” email from the VA to Feliz stated, “The agency finds, based on your performance, that you have not demonstrated that your further employment at the agency would be in the public interest.”

      “I was a first sergeant. My job was to take care of troops, making sure they were paid, fed, and slept. Why is this happening to us? I’ve been here too long for this to be happening,” Feliz said.

      Feliz said he’s been a VA employee for more than 12 years but just started in a new position in which he’s still in his probationary period, the layoff selected probationary employees for termination.

              Talk about salt in the wound. Reading the transparent lie that you’re being let go for performance.

                  The second guy - from the VA. If you read the whole article he was set to retire in 2027 and had filed the paperwork. Now he’s out before he put in his 20.

                      GOP Congress-critters have been very good at getting federal employment in their states and districts, disproportionately so, methinks.

                      Schadenfreude is a delicious sentiment sometimes ....

                        What do you do when a) immigration cases in the courts are backlogged and b) you're promising aggressive immingration sweeps?

                        You fire some immigration judges, just for kicks and grins!!
