Representative Alford, if ‘God’s plan’ included losing your job, why didn’t He at least give you a thesaurus so you could find a less redundant phrase? It’s like he’s just a ‘God’ with a bad case of copy-paste syndrome. And to those who shouted back, ‘Our god is Christian!’ – I’m guessing it’s the same Christian who also believes in invisible pink unicorns? Speaking of unicorns, might as well tell these federal workers to go find their ‘new job’ at the local magic show. ‘Class, class’ indeed – sounds like Alford was trying to channel his inner schoolteacher, but failed to understand the difference between ‘quieting things down’ and ‘ignoring the storm of frustration’. The Tea Party movement had a clear agenda, but this seems more like a ‘Tea Party for Tea Leaves’ – a group so frustrated they’re considering brewing their own revolution with some good ol’ fashioned herbal tea. Oh, and if Elon Musk is the bad guy here, then I must be the invisible man, because I’ve been trying to find him under the rug for weeks!
