DOGE Cleaning out DEI Military hires in government jobs worrying elected Republican officials

[Delldude]

The crowd at McCormick’s town hall Thursday night was decidedly liberal.

My first thought here was how many are organized visitors from the left.

It's one of their tried and true tactics.

 

[Contumacious]

clueless comment

seriously

WHY don't you learn a MARKETABLE SKILLL and go to work instaed if sucking up to socialist communiy organizers

 

[Dante]

So, you're dropping that point about the woman from the linked article? Just moving on to next attack?


LOL.

The op is not about that woman. try keeping up

 

[Thinker101]

Wow! Your imbecility knows no bounds. Your weird attempts at an equivalency goes beyond being absurd.


Neil deGrasse Tyson (NdGT) & Patrick Bet-David (PBD):

PBD: from what we knew at the beginning of covid to what we know today, what do we know about the vaccine today that we didn't know while we were all testing it on America, taking it, what have we learned now

NdGT: what do you mean testing it on America there were tests before it was released

PBD: nine months is not a long time to tell

NdGT: but it was tested

PBD: yeah the name of the average is 30 the average is five to ten years I mean nine months is not enough

NdGT: so you have to -- you have to ask -- hold on -- it was tested on - in Trials okay, by the way I'm not claiming to be the expert on all this, I read all the same things you have but I'm a scientist, so I read it as a scientist okay

0:34 NdGT:
there were trials that's what the point of phase one two three trials are all about, they are tested enough to get data on how to then advise the larger population, yes it was tested if you just say it wasn't tested is it is a gap between your awareness and understanding how things work and what actually happened. it was tested

NdGT: if you wanted to be tested on millions of people instead of thousands, you can put in for that, you can say I don't want this unless it's Millions, that's okay

PBD: totally fine with me okay I'm okay with that but but

NdGT: so so based on that, do you say let's keep testing it, while this virus keeps spreading okay, right so this is this is the contest between the information you have available to you at that moment, and what's going on outside the lab, people are dying, hospitals are becoming overloaded, so do you say we have good data on the thousand, it's not yet at a million in case you wanted a million, are you going to say let's still do it on another let's wait another six months so we get another million in here, will you do that as a public health professional


no I I would have said allow the individual to still have a choice that's okay with a thousand instead of a few million, leave the person have the choice not force them to take it or else you're going to get out of the Marines and you've been doing this for 14 years, not force them to take it or else you have to quit your job as a nurse

----------
interruption:

NdGT: there's a public health

It's Force versus there's a choice

NdGT: no um there's a public health contract that you have signed implicitly as a citizen of a country, where in part we depend on each other for health, our wealth, our security and the like, and that contract is in the best scientific evidence available at the time, if you do not get vaccinated you will put other people in this organization at risk, and that organization does not want to take that risk, so you do not have this job anymore if you decline it - so, in with any public health decision there has to be a consequence to you not participating in that social contract, is it your job - in some cases it was, but no we're not going to have the Army bust into your home and force a needle into your shoulder that's not going to happen

PBD: we pretty much did that

NdGT: well only put your job at risk, yes

PBD: 67% of Americans took to covid, that's Force, that's not a choice that's, a that's a lot of force and coercing again pushing going on


NdGT: but that's that's the yeah you you can't go to the school unless you're uh vaccinated against

What!!?? You don't like it when the shoes on the other foot? I'm sure they'll hang onto their contact information, just in case things change in 3-4 years.

Or the 10,000 who lost their jobs on Biden’s first day because he cancelled the Keystone Pipeline?

4 year old bullshit? o'tay

Our ruling - We rate it Half True.

A Facebook post says that Biden’s executive order revoking the Keystone XL pipeline "is destroying 11,000 jobs."


That number is an estimate, and the claim lacks context about the longevity of Keystone jobs.

TC Energy said more than 1,000 people are out of work because of Biden’s executive order. In October, the company said it expected to employ more than 11,000 Americans in 2021 and generate more than $1.6 in gross wages.

But both TC Energy and the State Department have said the majority of those jobs would be temporary. A 2014 report found that the company would need only 50 employees to maintain the Keystone XL pipeline once it’s finished, 35 of them permanent.

Temporary jobs are still jobs. But this post could leave the wrong impression without full context. We rate it Half True.

No, but we were talking about it, and then the moment you it was pointed out that her story didn't make a lot of sense, you just dropped it.

No admission from you that it didn't make sense, you just moved on to next attack.

That's you revealing that you didn't care about that woman, and you didn't care about whether or not her complaint was real or not.


That means that you don't care about the one you want to move onto, or the one after that.

You are just throwing out poo like a monkey, hoping that making enough noise will create the illusion of a problem.


The entire left is with you on this. I'm not buying it.

DOGE Cleaning out DEI Military hires in government jobs worrying elected Republican officials ​

I don't believe that either the Musk families, or the Trump families have ever experienced the sacrifices made by those families who have answered a call of military service. I may be in error here, but...

For decades now most every government department and agency as well as consultants, contractors, vendors to local, county, state, and the federal governments has been required by favor and by law to select military service veterans to be included in hires, with preferences favoring them. Let us be totally honest here: "included" equals inclusion, a much dreaded by some, goal.

Middle class lifestyles, which include no fear of food in the pantry and on the table, home mortgages, car payments, school tuitions for children and for college educations, vacations, healthcare, death and burial costs, and more have been a staple of the lifestyle that comes with a government job.

It appears that both Musk and Trump are tone deaf, or purposefully completely deaf to the concerns of many Americans in government service - especially those with a military service connection.

What Republican backers (at least publicly), from the MAGA peanut gallery are hearing when they go home -- home, meaning their electoral districts -- is...

Let the record show it and tell it: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going be an effective town hall' - 'But we’re pissed'


“If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going be an effective town hall,” McCormick said, five minutes into defending Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service.

“But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted.

ROSWELL, Georgia — The crowd packed into City Hall and filled an overflow room with one question, above all, for their Republican congressman: What did he think of Elon Musk’s slash-and-burn mission to shrink the federal government?

Their Atlanta suburb in a solid-red district was hardly a hub of the liberal resistance, but hundreds had shown up to confront Rep. Richard McCormick in person. Now each argument from the lawmaker brought a new round of shouts, groans and boos.

“If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going be an effective town hall,” McCormick said, five minutes into defending Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service.

“But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted.

​

Town halls this week for congressional Republicans from Georgia to Wisconsin to Oregon grew testy as voters showed up to vent, outraged at the firing of workers and the Department of Government Efficiency’s access to sensitive data. Protesters showed up around the country at lawmakers’ offices.​

​

The backlash extends far beyond federal workers in the Beltway, reaching purple districts that will decide control of Congress in 2026 and swing states like Georgia that helped return Trump to the White House. Layoffs just hit the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Funding freezes have halted clean-energy projects championed by President Joe Biden.​

​

The crowd at McCormick’s town hall Thursday night was decidedly liberal. But new Washington Post-Ipsos polling suggests some of Trump and Musk’s moves are unpopular beyond the Democratic base. About 6 in 10 Americans surveyed were opposed to shutting down the U.S. Agency for International Development, which Musk bragged about feeding “into the wood chipper.”​

​

Republicans have overwhelmingly backed DOGE’s mission and even moved to replicate it at the state-level, including in Georgia. But they’re also struggling to justify the scope of some cuts and scrambling to get exceptions for their constituents — in some cases lobbying the Trump administration to restore federal funding to their states.​

​

Anna Foy teared up as she waited with her mother to watch McCormick’s town hall from overflow. The 33-year-old Army Reservist said the Bureau of Land Management had abruptly rescinded a job offer wrangling wild horses; she spoke to someone in McCormick’s office, she said, and was here to follow up.​

​

“I’ve worked six years to develop my resume around this job,” Foy said. “I don’t know what to do.” When the town hall finished, she waited to speak with the congressman’s staff.​

​

She didn’t want to talk about politics because of her Army role, she said — she just wanted her job back.​

And it's not just the DOGE Cleaning out DEI Military hires in government jobs that is worrying elected Republicans officials. They are getting an earful.

Again, reminds me of the Tea Party people when Obama was elected and when legislators went home, organized attempts to corner elected officials were staged. Though this stuff see,s more organic, more grassroots, more credible and prophetic. The midterms are coming.

Republicans Face Angry Voters at Town Halls, Hinting at Broader Backlash​

​

After a monthlong honeymoon for the G.O.P. at the start of President Trump’s term, lawmakers are confronting a groundswell of fear and disaffection in districts around the country.​

There are no DEI hires in the military. There are standards that must be met for promotions.

I don't much give a damn on their sexual dalliances. What I do give a damn about is their need to turn the workplace into a three ring circus.

I don't much give a damn on their sexual dalliances. What I do give a damn about is their need to turn the workplace into a three ring circus.

And we sure don’t need any woke general talking about “white rage” and other leftist crap. We need the strongest military possible, period.

As far as sexual dalliances go, EVERYONE should keep them in the closet and not make a circus out of them.

Because you thought that her story was relevant to the "focus of the article".

Now you want to run away from it, without taking the small L, that you should take.
