Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI received a copy of this official government message from a friend in the Department of the Interior.
The message was originally posted as two images which I repost here. The purge has started.

(1,272 posts)The GOP is ending the search for qualified folks in order to begin a brand new program
Elevating unqualified incompetent GOPers everywhere because they can
The more incompetent the better
This program has been implemented in other countries.
Stalin did this. Because of the need to only install the most pathetic lickspittles, millions of Russians starved to death. Get ready America. The kakistocracy has begun.
Our biomedical dominance will apparently be the first casualty of the GOP kakistocracy. What an absurdly stupid thing to do.

(976 posts)Trump is going to run this country into the ground just like one of his shitty casinos. This guy has never had a business success that wasn't based on a scam. Get ready.
I have been to Trump Tower. I was not impressed. It was gaudy and cheap.

(16,179 posts)and it won't just be at Federal agencies.
There will be MAGAt employees and customers at McDonald's "reporting" minority workers.
Having been a fed, I can tell you that EEO folks contribute a great deal, are well trained and this is their livelihood.
Start fucking with people's livelihood, and it's going to get ugly.

I suppose the diffusion by delay is what the Retrumplicans are counting on. Its worked for them so far.

(7,631 posts)Our agency has about 30 people in the DEI office, haven't heard for certain yet whether or not they were put on admin leave yesterday, but I'm guessing they were.
Trump's going to run into trouble in two areas here - first, the equal opportunity side. He can revoke affirmative action, as he did by rescinding LBJ's executive order, but he can't revoke equal opportunity, as that's part and parcel of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Second, the "A" part of the EO...accessibility. That's covered (for federal employees) under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
This will no doubt go to court, and he'll most likely win on the affirmative action piece while losing on the equal opportunity and accessibility side.

Nothing brings workplace cohesion like ratting out your fellow workers.
So, please don't criticize me for shunning EVERY STUPID FUCKSTICK family member, neighbor, coworker, fellow veteran, fellow parishioner, or "friend" that voted for this amphibian turd.
If you are still clinging to MAGAts in your life, or MAGAt owned social media platforms and corporations because you think you have to, scrape 'em off!
