He doesn't take his oath of office seriously, and is a national security risk even if he wasn't messing with the military
Just what daddy Vlad wanted.
Hey DEI military hires, you might consider moving to a blue state and joining their State Guard.
In fact I would call it a duty to your oath to do so
The declaration of independence says "all men(and women) are created equal". We know this is untrue. For example, Donald Trump was born the son of a millionaire, while the majority of Americans are not. Donald Trump's parents were able to afford to go to send him to private school and get an ivy league education, the majority of Americans cannot. We know that people are born into different advantages and disadvantage. Thanks to the history of slavery, and racism/sexism as a whole, minorities typically start with fewer advantages. Minorites were turned down for promotions, loans, and hiring while the majority reeped the benefits which are passed down to the next generation. "DEI" programs are a way to help level the field, to make everyone more equal. If everyone has the same upbringing and advantages we would not need it. But this is not the case. DEI helped remove systemic disadvantages that minorites face in hiring.
Maybe Trump should've served. Then he might have more respect for those of us who VOLUNTEERED, or at least didn't draft-dodge
Trump's mere existence compromises security on every level.
This DEI label which implies bias in favour of minorities over the deserving majority is wrong when it says Trump is purging DEI. What he is doing is purging the majority of Americans, not “white”, female and foreign. A lot more of them than the good old white boys.
Well, that's what they put Krasnov in the white house for, isn't it?
this is by design. trump hates the military and is actively working to weaken America’s global power.
In equally surprising news, gravity still a thing and Wilhoit's Law still in effect:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition ... There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
