I can hear the conservative knuckle draggers chanting "DEI HiRe!! DEi hiRE!!"

Huh, weird. When I heard about those firings (without knowing the demographics of the people involved), I figured Trump was purging the officers who might prioritize their oaths to the Constitution over fealty to his dictatorial regime. It's almost sort of reassuring, in a comprehensively fucked-up way, if it was "just" an act of petty bigotry instead.

(I suppose it's also possible that being willing to betray their oath for Trump could just happen to correlate 100% perfectly with race and gender, but I would be really surprised if that were the case. Surely at least one of the white guys is a genuine patriot, right?)

It’s both.

He replaced Brown with Caine, a man who was quoted as saying, “I will kill for you.” Caine also wore a MAGA hat in uniform, which is against military regulations, showing he puts Trump over his oath.

Some white guys, I assume, are good people. 😉

With a sample size of 6 chosen decidedly not at random this is not THAT difficult a correlation to exist. We can hope that one of them stands up to Trump, but I wouldn't bet on it.

For sure it’s the 2 old white guys.

Why the black old white guy and the female old white guy, of course.

Ah sorry, the administration has taught me to ignore minorities. I should have thought of the female old white guys

Wait, I was aware of Gen. CQ Brown, who else was fired?

Heh you're right I had to research her name (she is Adm. Lisa M Franchetti). There were not many articles about her, like Gen. CQ Brown.

Oh the old white guys right?
