ex-President Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
I guess the whole “opening up the jails and sending us their criminals” thing is an inside job.
bc Dems preferred to do a genocide
The Trump admin saying federal jobs will only go to qualified people is pretty lol. Last time they were incompetent by even white republican standards. Made the W Bush administration look the Team of Rivals.
The problem with using DEI as a slur and as code for unqualified and incompetent is that there are plenty of highly qualified and highly competent people who are not white men. People smarter than lozen will argue that this is exactly why affirmative statements and policies in support of diversity hiring are unnecessary. I don't agree in all circumstances, but I do in some, and I understand the argument. In any case, conservatives rushing to blame DEI hires every time something goes wrong and the Democrats are in charge is pretty gross and transparent.
(This post doesn't really have anything to do one way or the other with the 2024 election.)
Things that are great again.
Insurrection
Destroying the planet
Racism
I'm sure there's more.
Billionaires' bank accounts are looking pretty great.
What if I said to you I only will hire a white person for the job. That is clearly racism .
If Biden had not said that and just appointed her VP than I would have no argument that she was a DEI hire . I may feel she is not qualified
DEI is dying major corporations are dropping it . Lets get back to hiring the most qualified person for the job
But how else are people like Trump or Kushner going to get into college or get jobs? Obviously we need some way for lower performing whites to access places like Harvard or Penn and top financial institutions. That’s literally what the country is based on.
'to bring to trial'...
innocent until proven guilty.

Right so, because Biden did or said something that is an indictment against Kamala’s qualifications to the point you can just brush her off as DEI (incompetent and unqualified) before you learned a thing about her.
I dunno, sounds like her being black and possibly a woman were massive marks against her from the start

Biden never should have said he was going to pick a BlackWoman. He should have just done it.

Probably. He certainly didn't get any sort of credit for saying it and then doing it.
But Republicans would have denigrated Harris as a DEI VP either way. I wonder if they felt that Palin was a DEI running mate.
And that's what the main objective is. If Musk did the salute on purpose, it's to get everyone arguing and taking sides so that people aren't asking each other, "So a bunch exploitative billionaires are running the country... how does that benefit me?"

It's not like the people complaining about that wouldn't simply go on to something else. People literally complained that Obama got into Harvard Law because of affirmative action when he graduated with honors.
Did Trump and Musk stop the war in Ukraine yet?
