  • Why did Trump get rid of all of that DEI stuff again? Wasn’t the claim that it was lowering our standards? So, if that’s true, then getting rid of DEI should mean we can meet our hiring quotas while still maintaining high standards, right?

    Because if they get rid of DEI and they still had to lower hiring standards for the military, just as they also recently did for the DOJ, then that’s pretty conclusive evidence that their objections to DEI were completely about bigotry and not about the competency of the candidates.





  • So he didn’t do any of the work for originally coming up with the idea or making the site, and then he also didn’t do any of the work in making the site’s popular content.

    I do see there is some risk and some value in investing in a company, but it seems wrong that he became a billionaire when the people who did the actual work didn’t. More evidence that we don’t need billionaires.






  • Okay I read until it started getting kooky, which is the election denial shit and defending Trump after the insurrection. I get it. He’s an insincere nutcase.

    But I would like to say that there are a lot of people who counterintuitively supported both Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders, and I think I can explain why. Both Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders clearly believe on a personal level that they are doing the right thing. It’s rare to see politicians who don’t give the impression of being slimebag liars.

    Of course, their politics are completely incompatible with each other, but some people don’t care about that. They just want a politician that they can trust to do what they said they’re going to do.

    But since he went on to support Trump, that reasoning all flies out the window. Maybe he was frequently dropped on his head as a child.
