Another fascist scumbag.

Diversity-Equity-Inclusion
Enshrined in the Pledge of Allegiance
“With Liberty and Justice for All.”
Not just for some - but for all - no matter how different
Justice - Equity - Fairness
For All - Inclusion - All Americans
DEI = Greatness of the USA
Those opposed to DEI defile the Pledge & the US

GOP just wants kids to be forced to recite the pledge not to taught to think what those words really means and expect the nation to live up to it.

dechardin.bsky.social•60 days ago

Same for the 10 Commandments. They refuse to teach kids about the Beatitudes & MT 25:31-46.

This is so sickening

norsetom.bsky.social•60 days ago

Wondering if the Thomas Cromwell allusion portends a similar fate for Vought—or maybe to the other famous Cromwell…

ginalolajupiter.bsky.social•59 days ago

Oh the thought that there is really no man
In the sky watching over them is so frightening to them.

You remember what happened to Thomas Cromwell. right? We can only hope....

He may be the only Director of OMB that Americans will want decorating a DC sidewalk.

Henry the eighth beheaded Cromwell. Be careful who you empower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Cromwell

CLEARLY not a Wolf Hall fan 😯

I gotta admit that I don't even have the bandwidth for this. I'm fairly sure ALL Chump's nominees will get confirmed.
I hate it, but I've accepted it. I've already moved on to waiting for 'the churn' to start.

thatmanglenn.bsky.social•60 days ago

The people who wrote our Constitution knew all this, too. They knew their history. Tried like hell to avoid past mistakes. Yet here we are.

pinupual-2.bsky.social•60 days ago

Oh no!!! Vought is confirmed by the idiot GOP that supports Project 2025. We are screwed.

Call it what it is. It's a cult.

ericeccleston.bsky.social•60 days ago

Wait, Cromwell triggered a full on civil war.. I really don’t like your analogy. Also, looking forward to the “restoration” we need in a few years.

varholy.bsky.social•60 days ago

Unfortunately we seem to be getting there in internet time. If there's no feasible means of redress and accountability, history shows us what is next.

on-tannhausergate.bsky.social•60 days ago

Politics is War by Other Means as they say...

When Politics no longer is feasible that's when the disaster starts

varholy.bsky.social•60 days ago

They taught us in law school a related principle. That the opportunity to fell that you've been heard is just as important as justice itself.

on-tannhausergate.bsky.social•60 days ago

Agreed…. And a system where you know you can never be heard will only result in violence.

suewhitcomb.bsky.social•60 days ago

Do you think Congressional Republicans LIKE being rendered powerless? I called a new Congressman’s office and his staff person told me he is “a big Article One proponent.” Seriously?

polarangel.bsky.social•60 days ago

Thomas Cromwell didn’t end well

jaymarose.bsky.social•60 days ago

Lets hope hes a david stockman.

waynefackelzug.bsky.social•59 days ago

Russell Vought might want to consider Thomas Cromwell's fate.

orobharris.bsky.social•60 days ago

If you want to de facto impound spending to evade lawful court orders fire or suspend all employees who process payments

orobharris.bsky.social•60 days ago

If you want to throttle a govt seize the funding

maisany.bsky.social•60 days ago

A quick reminder that Cromwell was beheaded. 😵

marsisblu.bsky.social•60 days ago

What a sad pathetic looking little man. Probably has mommy issues. Never loved. The kind that is often wrong but never in doubt, never happier than when he has a boot on someone’s face. And will die alone and forgotten.

Impeach Trump Again, a nonpartisan campaign led by Free Speech For People:

"The campaign today has added multiple new grounds for an impeachment inquiry based on Trump’s continued abuses of power since assuming the office" http://impeachtrumpagain.org
