Why do I feel like this could be defeated by putting “mission critical” in every statement. “I watched mission critical YouTubes of several Tiny Desk Concerts.” “I ate mission critical tuna salad.” “I took five mission critical work dumps.”

The administration is waging war on federal workers—firing thousands from the VA, FAA, Education Department, IRS & more. These mass layoffs don’t just disrupt lives; they hurt veterans, students, public services, and public safety. Taxpayers will be the ones who pay the price.

He's openly admitting they're going to use the military to do illegal things and fired all the lawyers so no one will stop them. They will use the military on US civilians and they will give the order to shoot. The question is whether the rank and file listen.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.
