We mistakenly used the "b" word in our previous announcement, which has officially been declared Wrong and Divisive and Woke, so the color-blind announcement now reads:
"By replacing a 4-star general with a 3-star general, we are finally bringing meritocracy back to the Department of Defense."--H&T

Seems about white

Hegseth is beholden to the felonious orange anus and neither obeys a pledge of allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America and therefore they are traitors and so disobeying their orders is an obligation based on any oaths taken as a member of the United States Armed Services.

Is there a term for reverse reverse racism?

I didn't think there's even an UNO card for this.

And by firing Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti, Trump is living up to the motto on his NO GIRLS ALLOWED BOYS CLUB gate sign.

RETIRED White 3-star

I wasn't familiar with either one but as soon as I saw the announcement, took one guess, and yep, exactly as suspected.

cosmichomicide.bsky.social•65 days ago

Retired white ANG 3 star.

In bizarro world, up is down and down is up.

Meritocracy is returning to America by Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Trump Jr.

aelkus.bsky.social•65 days ago

not realistic headline, neither Trump or Hegseth would let even speechwriters use sophisticated word like “meritocracy” (or publish opinion pieces). the piece would be written instead by a center-right opinion columnist that sanewashes trump stuff for liberal audiences

christianh.bsky.social•65 days ago

Bret Stephens is a good candidate imo, doesn't seem like it would be in Douthat's wheelhouse but that hasn't stopped him before either

aelkus.bsky.social•65 days ago

yup exactly

the writer would either be someone that regularly writes a weekly column for the paper or a well known outside regular contributor to the times, atlantic, or washington post

aelkus.bsky.social•65 days ago

issue is who specifically it would be…..plenty of possible names so lets workshop them @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com @beijingpalmer.bsky.social

“Math checks out because black generals are worth 3/5 as much as white generals, who end up being 14.88x better”

He also fired all the top JAGs. He’s setting the stage for future MAGA-friendly leadership to be enabled to carry out illegal orders.

Seriously though, Pitchbot, Bluesky has a lot of great content but you’re my favorite. Shhhh…keep it between us.

How many high level positions in trumps administration are held by minorities....start counting.

A retired, white, 3-star general. Got to make sure all active military are being properly disrespected.
