Summary

The Trump administration is facing backlash after reports that the Defense Department flagged over 26,000 images for deletion due to alleged connections to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Among them are photos of trailblazing pilots, including the Tuskegee Airmen and Col. Jeannie Leavitt.

Most controversially, an image of the WWII aircraft Enola Gay was flagged, seemingly because its name includes the word "gay."

The revelation has sparked mockery online, with critics calling this "the STUPIDEST administration in American history."

So...

Nixon (corrupt and rotten but did some useful things)

Fold (unelected)

Reagan (jelly beans, stupid phrases, blatant lies)

Bush I (Actually cunning, but did throw up on Japanese Prime Minister)

Bush II (Stupid, bushism )

Trump (Worse than Bush II)

The Republicans are not sending their best.

    At this point I don't blame political parties or even individual politicians .... I blame the American people who just keep putting up with this bullshit, justifying it all, half saying they are for it while the other half does nothing ... and all of them saying its someone else's fault.

    America is generally just a nation of morons with nuclear weapons at this point.

    Maybe ancient Rome was right, not every idiot with a high school education should be able to vote.

    Not to mention the founding fathers. There were two camps, you had the Jeffersonian camp that was all about the people should be free to vote and do whatever, then you had the Federalist camp like Alexander Hamilton who didn't trust the people and felt the gov needed a buffer against the mindless mobs. It is looking like Hamilton was right.

    it's a callback to

    “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

    So far the administration has been slammed, dunked, embarrassed, imploded, rebuked, and many more horrible-sounding synonyms fifty times over! One can only imagine they're on their last leg.

    Right, The Humanist Report, The Damage Report, TYT, Bryan Tyler Cohen, Secular Talk, et al.? 🙄
