What, because YOU say so? I don't see it that way at all. I see you whining that Trump fired some admiral who is female because, as I see it, on the basis of merit and competence she lacked, while you see it as him doing it because she was female and hired on the basis of DEI.
DEI was included in the reason for her firing.
 
Show where Trump has been firing people on the basis of gender, race, or other DEI qualities rather than on the basis the person fired is not competent in their position.

Obama, as with Trump, fired a lot of top executives--including in Obama's case nearly all US attorneys then serving--because they wanted people who reflected their expectations in office.
Musk fired about 80% of the twitter staff when he took over. I defy you to prove that all those people were incompetent. Same goes for trump. These stooges are treating government like it's their own private corporation, not something that we the people pay for.

"Changeover among federal government agencies is normal when a new administration comes to Washington, with presidents regularly dismissing appointees selected by predecessors from opposing political parties. But President Donald Trump has implemented sweeping changes in the first days of his second administration, from firing career agency employees to freezing trillions in federal grant funds and halting diversity, equity and inclusion programs that could result in wide-ranging layoffs.

At least 240 employees are known to have been fired, reassigned, or designated to be laid off. Thousands of employees could be affected by other moves, such as a federal employee buyout offer, or the grant funds pause."

It seems that way for every republican. When W fired the US Attorneys it caused a ruckus... the Dems were "outraged"... Until folks pointed out that Clinton did it, as did Carter, Reagan.... If you are a US Attorney and the guy that appointed you loses, you must expect it, if you don't you're are an idiot.

Admirals and Generals are all political appointees, voted in by the Senate and are often replaced with new administrations. If this were Dementia Joe, and he replaced a Trump appointment, you'd barely hear of it.
Bullshit. When Biden fired trump appointees it was all over the news. Including questions about whether Biden had the authority to do what he did. Three articles below and plenty more for those who choose to look.

Post the rest. Hop to it, woman!
 
From the thread link:

“These actions were part of a significant shake-up in military leadership under the new administration, aiming to align the military more closely with their policies.”

I expect that this was upon recommendations and input from the CG.

Most dismissals are justified.

No one has voted "yes" in the poll, have they?
 
Joe basically said he appointed her because it was past due to hire a woman.... Similar reason for choosing Kam... As I mentioned before... Neither one was able to do the job properly... And neither one has a job anymore... https://www.mycg.uscg.mil/News/Arti...t-woman-service-chief-during-historic-change/

This is exactly how Project 2025 plans to gut DEI

The policy proposals take aim at DEI initiatives in the executive branch and federal agencies, in line with years of conservative backlash...

Project 2025 outlines a slew of extreme policy recommendations, from dismantling the Department of Education to replacing experienced civil servants with political appointees. But the policy plan also repeatedly returns to the topic of diversity, equity, and inclusion across its nearly 900 pages, taking aim at DEI initiatives in the executive branch and federal agencies...

The foreword clearly signals the project’s intentions, and in a moment when DEI work at every level—whether in the government or private sector—has been under near-constant attack. “The next conservative President must make the institutions of American civil society hard targets for woke culture warriors,” the authors write. “This starts with deleting the terms sexual orientation and gender identity (“SOGI”), diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”), gender, gender equality, gender equity, gender awareness, gender-sensitive, abortion, reproductive health, reproductive rights, and any other term used to deprive Americans of their First Amendment rights out of every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.”

I didn't say it wasn't in the news, I said you would barely hear about it. How many threads were there here from outraged democrats? You know the ones "shocked" that Trump fired this one. And what was the final result? He had the authority... and they stuck. I see you found some articles... How many have you found about folks Trump has fired? Did you do a comparison count? I think you'd be surprised by the result and how it aligns with what I noted here.

Did "Fast Company" just lose their USAID funding? :thinking:

The real question is, how many threads were there from outraged republicans?

Competent or not, they clearly weren't necessary since Twitter / X is still going. Government is much the same way. It's filled with people doing marginally, or completely, irrelevant things that could be done without.

Let me know when the government becomes even more cumbersome, inefficient, and pedantic because of these firings, because right now, I'm not seeing that.

They said X would die too.
