So if you get that OPM email, my only advice is to recognize (1) it is asking you to give them an excuse to fire you (2) it will be processed by an LLM. If you want to leave, good luck to you, thank you for your service. If not, reply in a way designed to not give their LLM bot those free excuses.

Yes, you did label people when your were younger too… Just instead of Autism/ADHD/etc., they were labelled “disruptive”, “stupid”, “difficult”, “problems”, and all sorts of slurs (even more than they are today).

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

For all you who continually whine “I’m not racist, I just think we need to have standards,” this is absorb this.No Black man could become head of the Joint Chiefs without meeting the standard. What they want is to harden a system of affirmative action for white guys.They what their grandfathers had.

Doing this right before firing three top military leaders is so deranged. Source at DoD told me, “Disdain for Hegseth is a near-universal feeling even among the Trumpiest in the office.“

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.
