Another use of the "radical"  "woke" and "left" thing, oh, and combined with "virus", and whatever. Such incisiveness, and so many wide ranging thoughts in this 'debate'. 

 

 

 

 

Nup! Radical, progressive left woke ideology is an actual political movement. Here's an AI generated image of what it looks like after Trump's inauguration.

This will be tested in the courts.  Had he immediately laid them off, we'd be on the hook for back pay and huge claims of compensation for pain and suffering.  Better to pay them to stay home (as if they were coming in anyway).

 

 

Lay-offs are imminent for cut-backs to happen in the Gov spending. These people hired simply because they are trans or woke got out of hand. It had nothing to do with qualifications and experience to get the jobs done as seen with the current Fire Chief in LA.  Also, lay-offs does not mean paying them without coming to the office. Lay-offs will allow them to claim unemployment and benefits and assistance to find another job. That is all. 

By the way, Trump also said this in his interview about signing the decree. As it also was said it is within his legal right to lay off anyone he chooses in the working GOV. So there will not be any pain and suffering compensation as you claim. 

Later to be known as the "Era of common sense".

Finally....

 

And here's the swamp, doing what swamp creatures do.  She's no longer the ATF "Chief Diversity Officer", she's now a "Senior Executive".  And it's no longer the CBP “Diversity and Inclusion” webpage, it's the “Special Emphasis Programs” webpage.  At least it was until they took down the entire website.  I guess they don't know that the interwebs are forever...  And Musk's team is pretty good at the interwebs.

 

The ATF changed Chief Diversity Officer Lisa Boykin’s official title to simply “senior executive” under the office of the director as late as Thursday, according to archives of the agency’s official leadership page.

 

CBP renamed their “Diversity and Inclusion” webpage to “Special Emphasis Programs” (SEP) at some point between Jan. 21 and the early morning of Jan. 23, according to a web archives. The agency has since taken down this webpage, instead redirecting to a section on equal opportunity employment.

Every time previous when I've posted DEI is dead always got the obligatory, anonymized, laughing/sad/confused emojis. Well let me reiterate. DEI is dead starting from now with Trump. This will spread internationally. 

Oh God, lets hope so. The patriot American voters voted against the unconstitutional diversity plan by overwhelmingly rejecting word salad Kamala Harris as President. Kamala was a few beers short of a six pack and the only reason that Biden choose her as VP was her race.

Didn't need to be a patriot to vote for Trump. Indeed Trump was victorious because of the voters that voted against Harris (left the Democrats). 

"Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you" A nice piece of political advertising.

In simple terms it is what caused the dems to lose the election.

 

 It usually pertains to a tiny segment of the democrats that were insane mean spirited zealots that bullied everybody that didn't agree with them.  How the majority of dems let this happen is beyond me. Until I'm confident the majority of dems have eliminated the woke culture, I won't be voting for their party members.

No, that's just repeating another asinine term. Not sure the Alien would understand that. The alien might take the literal meaning, which is close to 'awake', but then get confused because the alien keeps hearing the word used to insult other people, so clearly not understood by the person using it.

 

The alien would then probably decide that humans are obviously stupid, not worth assimilating with, then go ahead with destroying them.

So, you don't understand what 'woke' means, or you don't want to tell me?

Okay, “woke” refers to privileged,  narrow-minded condescending  people that are generally racist, sexist, heterophobic, ignorant, arrogant, gullible, incompetent, over-educated,  misinformed cultists that project all their traits onto anyone that dares to disagree with them.

 

Is that more clear?

I told you what it means to most and your type just don't get it.  Until dems do get it they will keep losing elections. It isn't the definition of woke that caused many centralists to vote for Trump.  Think I'm just wasting my time.... 🙂

The humour here comes from the fact that the donkey believes that DEI had anything to do with preventing discrimination.  (Its effect was actually quite the opposite.)

Lame deflection. 

The price at which investors are speculating on the Beijing stock exchange futures market is not the current price of eggs in the U.S.  😆

 

This is the price in the U.S. and its doesn't decrease. It increases!
