The Trump Presidency 2.0

No. This is what happens when you have multiple system upgrades and multiple portals controlled by multiple orgs and agencies within the DoD. Fixing that would require probably a few hundred million dollars and manpower we don't have or can't fund (contractors).

Kind of why they should have run this through the DoD and its branches first.

But we're all lazy shitbag thieves too scared to get "real" jobs in the "real" world according to the broad narrative from many on the Right.

When you cleared in, did they give you the same link to update your info? If it was this quick of a "fix" now, it was a quick "fix" then.

I don’t recall if it was auto populated or not. I know for a fact we were never told to update our email and in fact I still use my old email for certain support functions. Too many databases not talking to one another.

I have. As stated, it was to bring a a broader conversation about when we decide someone gets a position for "merit" versus a "who you know" job, seeing as that has been a big topic of contention with "DEI hires" not being qualified.

Again, nothing against Caine.


I agree with this take. I'm just as annoyed when #myside puts up people that don't meet basic qualifications as when the other side does it. I'd much rather get "we are hiring person x for yz reason unrelated to the job" than trying to bullshit up how they're super qualified.

Anyways I think this horse is dead. I've gotta finish my five bullet points I may or may not be required to send. At least I have a computer to work off of, unlike all of our wage grade mechanics; fun times!

Ladies and Gentlemen...Caine is nothing. He's a 3 Star that wrecked ISIS.

How about MacArthur's star from WWI became permanent when many others who held higher ranks reverted to Lieutenant Colonel...or how about this one. John "Blackjack" Pershing.

Teddy Roosevelt wanted to promote him to Colonel, he was a Captain.

Well Roosevelt nominated Pershing to Brigadier in 1906. And presidents seem to get what they want.

Pershing was appointed to lead the expedition against Pancho Villa, and then appointed commander of the AEF all over higher ranked and "qualified" individuals.

Being a COCOM Commander doesn't make someone a good CJCS. Being a COCOM Commander apparently makes shitty SECDEFs though.

Consider this: you’re a federal employee. You’re a professional who enjoys your job. You put in decent work.

On a Saturday afternoon, you hear about some stuff going on in your work group chat. The Tesla guy, who has been shit-talking you for months, woke up from his K hole and fired off a tweet threatening to fire you if you don’t complete some trivial task. You’re used to dumb tasks coming from bosses. It’s not especially unusual.

But you don’t work for the Tesla guy. You’ve already got 15 layers of oversight, and he’s not a part of any of them. Not to mention he’s been tweeting 600 times a day that you, personally, are a lazy sack of shit and deserve to get fired.

Oh, and after all that, the ACTUAL agency head you DO work for instructs not to do the trivial task. Very cool. You love to see it, folks

To sum it up, I think there would be considerably less resistance to this if: 1) it came from literally anyone other than Elon Musk, 2) there was at least some attempt made to conceal the naked contempt this administration has for its federal workers
 
We should all just be thankful that we even have these jobs.

Its not like any of us worked to get one of these low work/high pay government jobs.
We certainly don't deserve to have them.

In fact, I'd like to offer an open apology to the American people for taking so much of their money when I do so little.
I aplogize for the amount of avarice and greed that my shitty attitude brings to the table.

Please forgive me for being so ungrateful for the opportunity that your tax dollars provide.
I'm not worthy.
Thank you.

No fam. It wouldn't. Because we have the GAO and the CBO and how those are organized nothing ever gets done.

The issue though is Congress needs to do their part and remove the slot authorizations that are being cut.

You guys remember that Clinton RIFd the Federal Workforce by 250k at a time when we had a much smaller population so the negative impact was far greater? Who decided which person went back then when computer screens were barely color and most didn't have email?

Point to the agencies on the org chart that didn't hire you.

Aside from the standard bit of bad AI (those belly dancers had beards) I was suprised it had more scenes of Elon and Trump was mostly merch/status.

It reminded me of the propaganda videos when Jong Un took over.

On the other hand... um... no one has access to the old downrange classified MiRC Chats, right? Asking for a friend. ;)

There has been a spike in Google searches of “how do you delete JABBER history if you’re retired” and it seems to be coming from my address in Vegas…
Lol

But seriously Tulsi is firing all those folks and that’s *hilarious*. We don’t need the Elon email, there’s plenty of cause literally everywhere in the .gov circles, just gotta look.
 
I know my company was targeted because of a belief that we were conservative. We were debanked by Chase, our satire site got taken down by Facebook for sharing a political meme that was clearly a joke, and our page views plummeted from a couple hundred thousand a month to a couple thousand. All because we dared feature some "conservative" content IN ADDITION TO our progressive content.

I'm glad to see that companies are being called to account for this behavior and I'd love to have some accountability for what happened to us.

EXCLUSIVE: Ted Cruz Subpoenas Big Tech Company He Says Targeted Conservatives​

You know what the irony is? The way that I was treated, at Yale, here on the site, by the media, by progressives and leftists of all types, for the crime of trying to be moderate, is that I am now firmly and perpetually a conservative. And based on the results of the last election, a whole bunch of other folks feel the same way.
