Pretty sure no one will be building factories here in this climate of 90-day certainty. Eyeroll.

Why don't we just quit with these pressers? We all know the lies they're telling...why give them an audience.

If the idea of introspection scares you that much, maybe also a "you" problem?

Apparently, no one like this guy and he's been relieved of his position. πŸ‘

Or you can do a Google search. And since you're a data person--FOTUS is discontinuing DEI in the military starting 4 days ago....meaning we won't see ramifications until probably a year or more out. Here is some reading for you: www.armyupress.army.mil/Journals/Mil...

I am a statistician and data analyst. I can get #'s from all over the place (& I worked for a company that helped the US Census bureau project demography). Only a dope (or someone with dementia) would think you have to be enlisted to see the racial and gender stats of the armed forces.

You have 5 followers...and I'm sure you served for a short time at a single base location, so that is really all you can tell me about. You're just noisy. And incidentally, DEI initiatives started in the military in the 1970's--if you truly served before then, maybe it's your dementia speaking.

With each reply, you sound more ignorant...good luck to you. Hope you're enjoying your newly cheap eggs and gas. Jk

But DEI were in place while you served! Duh. That's the point.

Fact of the matter: without DEI, it's a typical 1950's white "Christian" man's club in the USA. Wake up.

You clearly don't understand what DEI initiatives mean. You're just parroting your leaders. If people had actually been considered and promoted on merit (color-blind, gender-blind, no consideration of religion or creed), there would have never been a need for DEI.

So you think Black Americans and American women are going to want to join up if they know from the start that they will not get the same consideration for assignments and promotions? How much of our current volunteer forces are minorities or women? That's who DEI affects mainly.

Does he not understand we have a volunteer military? This will make more volunteer? He's the dimmest bulb...and dangerously dim.

Good luck attracting an all-volunteer force. Smh

I'm not buying from their links. Now they're adding ads to Threads. Don't bother...no one going to buy from those.

The plan is to crash the economy to suppress wages.

I'd like to remind the Speaker that fixed houses in CA will kick in lots of income tax dollars, whereas fixing a damaged house in his state will actually cost the US money because he's from a "taker" state.

People dumping subscriptions and losing advertising? What other ways does media make $$?

Yes...maybe send their polls with a preface "you will not be directed to ActBlue" after answering the questions?

From the clips I've seen, she let him say whatever he wanted.

Maybe she can hang with both her pals in Moscow for a couple of weeks...get her marching orders.

And I bet they're underrepresented/overrepresented by the electoral college. Smh

Hopefully, if he tries all this on day one, he'll be running like Assad on day two.

I was kind of tired of only white men holding that office. I'm sure you thought it was a-ok.

Well, despite your heroic efforts, he won. Time for you to paint a model wheel.

A) that happens frequently and b) you can't vote based on a premonition of what will happen in 2 years. So????

thanks for that, but the "suddenly" from her quote is not related to the case, but to the role of the court. The way the caption is worded, it made it sound like she didn't realize this was a civil rights case. But thanks for the citation.

Yeah, he changed his mind after people like Matt Gaetz and Kash Patel are floated as legit cabinet members. I think most sentient people would have done the same. Hope he pardons a ton of people before this vindictive mob takes over.
