Friendly reminder: If a president can take your rights away and your only hope is to replace that president with a one who will give them back, you don’t have rights; you have conditional privileges.
Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.
Step 5: Deploy US National Guard to stop people from taking photos of the swamp as a perfect metaphor for the administration.
Step 6: Blame someone else.
This is the direct OPPOSITE of a "meritocracy."
Navy leadership believed that Admiral Stephen D. Barnett was the top choice for a command position that would oversee our US Naval bases "at home and abroad."
He was due a promotion.
He had more experience than the other candidates and he also successfully presided over the clean up of one of the Navy's "worst messes" in recent history—a fuel spill that contaminated an aquifer on a base in Hawaii, causing thousands to get sick.
But the admiral didn't get the job because he was black.
"Instead of Admiral Barnett, Mr. Hegseth selected a white officer who was the Navy leadership’s third choice."
"So far this year, Mr. Hegseth has blocked the promotions of at least 40 senior officers to general and admiral ranks. About half of those are women or members of minority groups."
There is nothing meritocratic about Hegseth's decision.
For years, conservatives have been complaining that the "DEI" boogeyman is responsible for discriminating against qualified white candidates.
This was, of course, not the case.
But now these same pearlclutchers are on board with an administration that's actually discriminating in hiring based on race.
Every accusation a confession.
@EinienX@TheSkepticWiz I’m in total agreement with you
The hebrews were the people of the book. Because they wrote their stuff down, it survived conquest and occupation
Otherwise we’d be studying Judaism just like Morse mythology
@EinienX@TheSkepticWiz By that standard, either Judaism or Islam is the one true religion.
But then, Islam split almost immediately after their prophet died, and there are several different levels of Judaism…
@ChristiansSTDT That is what they’ve been saying.
Without original sin, there’s no reason for Jesus to die. So Christianity requires those chapters to be real.
