Examples of GOP Leadership

Republicans consider veterans DEI employees.
Around 30% of federal employees are veterans. This is significantly higher than the percentage of veterans in the general civilian workforce, which is around 5%.
So all these federal job cuts effect veterans at a much higher rate. So much for the republican BS about taking care of our veterans. >:(
Vets are one of the DEI categories. Companies in the private sector got a huge tax break for hiring vets. Most of the time the vet never knew this.

War heroes and military firsts are among 26,000 images flagged for removal in Pentagon’s DEI purge

The vast majority of the Pentagon purge targets women and minorities, including notable milestones made in the military. And it also removes a large number of posts that mention various commemorative months — such as those for Black and Hispanic people and women.

It's all revenge tour, with a "make billionaires richer" sideline. Unfortunately, the revenge is on the"deep state", which is known otherwise as government beaurocracy, which is just, the government, that serves the people. So, instead of surgically removing waste, fraud and abuse, the chainsaw is removing folks without determining any merit to removing them.

Then the foreign diplomacy. Allying with Russia I would think would be a problem with a majority of Americans. Retreating from, and abandoning an ally during a hot war will make other nations less willing to work with the USA, trust being destroyed.

Then starting a trade war with its closest ally, Canada has got their back up vowing not to buy anything American where possible, and traveling to any destination OTHER than the states. Canadians love America, and Americans, but being continuously insulted by the 51st state remarks, and calling our prime minister the governor pisses people off more and more, every time it's uttered. ( Which i saw from press briefings as recently as yesterday.)
You know I keep hearing the term "DEEP STATE" used to describe Fed. Govt. employees,people of various political persuasions who do a job serving the nation. Many could make more $$$$ in the private sector and many are vets.,my late dad worked in a bland concrete building in Newport RI as a clerk for the navy's torpedo program, a navy vet who'd prob be a prime target for Elon. It's all BS and is NOT going to make a dent in the 36T debt, it's another Trump diversion "RAH,RAH,RAH". The DEEP STATE as I define it is ALL THE BLACK BUDGET PROGRAMS RUN BY CLANDESTINE AND SHADY DEFENSE CONTRACTORS IN UNDERGROUND FACILITIES, WHO"S WORK IS CONCEALED FROM CONGRESS AND THE PRES. AND WILL THREATEN AND MURDER TO KEEP IT"S SECRETS.

Trump Admin Slammed As ‘Stupidest’ Ever After Linking WWII Plane ‘Enola Gay’ To DEI
Just to be clear, Enola Gay was the aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan, not... a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Enola Gay was the name of Paul Tibbets mother.

Most likely the word “ GAY “ freaked out the Red Hat Moron. Which ironically used to be a rather common female name.

oh the horror

'There is literally no one': The fallout coming to Lake Tahoe after forest service gutted
The U.S. Forest Service manages 78% of the land in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Yet, a hiring freeze on seasonal workers and recent firings of key staff have gutted an already-stretched-thin agency, putting on hold critical work in water quality, environmental restoration and forest fuels reduction projects while also diminishing the forest service’s capacity to manage the millions of visitors who come to Lake Tahoe every year

Trump's 2.2 billion-gallon dump from California reservoirs just got even uglier
The Washington Post snagged a memo written by an Army Corps of Engineers official who worked on the releases
The memo was written four days after the releases by Col. Chad W. Caldwell, commander of the Army Corps’ Sacramento District, Caldwell also told a California water official that he had been told to take photos of the water being released and send them to Washington, D.C., the Post reported, citing an anonymous official. Sure enough, on Jan. 31, Trump claimed his political win with an image of water flowing from Lake Kaweah.
“Photo of beautiful water flow that I just opened in California,” he wrote in an X post that has amassed tens of millions of views. “Today, 1.6 billion gallons and, in 3 days, it will be 5.2 billion gallons. Everybody should be happy about this long fought Victory!
Rather than actually assist Los Angeles County with firefighting, the water was used downstream of the reservoirs for “limited irrigation demand” and “groundwater recharge,” according to a joint statement from local water agencies.
