Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers Thursday night at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.
Part of the problem with Trump and the other Trumpanzees following in his his footsteps is that we constantly give them the village-idiot pass and fail to hold them accountable.
When it comes to politics, world leaders, CEOs - it’s the the opposite of Hanlon’s Razor. Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.
If their actions cause damage, I’m going to assume it was calculated and intentional, especially when it’s a pattern that repeats itself on a daily fucking basis.
And honestly, you’re probably right. Especially as you go lower and lower down the Nazi chain of command, the spectrum slides from evil to stupid. But if there’s even an inkling of a chance that that any one of those Nazis has the self awareness to realize that they are in fact the badies, but stay the course anyway cuz they’re fucking evil, then that’s the assumption I’m rolling with.
Treat these traitors like the threat they are, regardless of their motive or capability.
It’s absolutely both, and I never said that they should not be held accountable. They are unclever gorillas smashing the place up and yes, it is absolutely for evil, evil reasons but that doesn’t mean these are deep, well thought-out schemes. It’s basic garbage for garbage people, a idiot’s genius. Yes, it’s calculated, but the math is of a grade one level and even then they don’t always get it right but you bet they’re still trying to be as evil as possible.
Being a conservative almost requires one to be dumber than a bag of hammers. The only reason most of them get anywhere is because other idiots like the useless centrists refuse to hold them accountable so we all act like they’re clever when really they’re just shielded from consequences. Elon Musk is as dumb as they come and we all know exactly what he’s doing it’s just that when he buys Twitter for way too much money and blows it up he doesn’t have to deal with any fallout and can keep that shitstorm running out of pure spite and lighting billions of dollars on fire.
Oh, that bit wasn’t meant to refute something you said. I’m mostly just bitching into the void right now - it looks like we see eye-to-eye on pretty everything here except perhaps splitting hairs over when to use the label ‘stupid’ vs ‘evil’. I do try to avoid the former cuz it detracts from establishing intent, but not a single thing you’ve said so far is wrong.
But yeah, I don’t mean to be argumentative or anything, I’m just pissed off.
you just reminded me i didn’t buy last year’s annual belt buckle, and I should have my belt buckle lady do this
