Tears? You're the one rage quitting. The hypocrisy you demonstrate by your comments is what people have an issue with. You say asinine things and get called out. If you want to contribute, great! But if that contribution is calling everyone soft, then #### off and go back to Fox News.

This is a message board where we discuss all kinds of things.

How you can't see that the rhetoric and actions coming from the US are completely absurd is beyond me. In what world are the things that we see occurring down there ok?

It's fair game to question Leavitt's moral compass when she continues to demonstrate she doesn't have one. She is 100% a DEI hire - the irony.

“I’m not crying”

I'm saddened and disturbed by how restrictive everything is under this regime in what's supposed to be the "land of the free".

They became everything they insinuated the Dems were and worse.
Ours did the same, announcing we were ending our DEI initiatives because they "must comply". Don't be fooled though, this isn't about any sort of real law or policy that these companies need to adjust to and/or follow, it's an excuse that companies are using to -- you guessed it -- take back that capital these initiatives and workgroups cost.

The replacement for the fired 5 star General is so unqualified, BASED ON THE LAW, they have to have a special waiver from Fat Donny to put him in the job. This is going to go well, right?

Yup, that's what it's about.

It's funny because there were questions about our curriculum changing at my job to de-emphasize DEI inclusions or any focus on inequity, injustice, racism etc. As a private institution, there's no requirement that they follow any mandate, but they may have decided to in order to avoid conflict or controversy. The response the upper administration gave was pretty emphatic.

"There's a lot of noise going on out there, but we're going to keep doing what we're doing and what we've always done, regardless of the noise."

I was pretty proud to hear them say that. It'd be great to hear about more businesses and organizations standing up to this nonsense.

Obviously there is no shortage of insane events and general news lately, but this small example from Northern Idaho has really crystallized the fact for me that the United States is literally a Nazi country. Nazi America. This time period should enter the zeitgeist as Nazi America in the exact same way we refer to the 30s and early 40s as Nazi Germany.

Yup, they're way past the point of no return now. Amazing that it only took one month for American democracy to spiral out of control into total fascism.

I really hope that Canada and the rest of the free world are taking some serious notes and making stronger alliances/trade deals with each other so we can find a way to move forward together as a united front and leave the U.S. behind. It ain't gonna be easy, and it's gonna be a s*** show for a while. But the only way the world is gonna get through this is if we all work together.

I can't help but feel like this has been in the works since 2016. Everything just falling into place to make it a reality at a time where a lot of the world is working on getting rid of the USD as the world reserve currency. It sounds conspiratorial for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if the plan was to go full Nazi and use force to try and get a world wide reset - while staying on top.

What’s ridiculous is he was never strong with the economy. He rode on the coattails of the Obama/Biden economy then the economy crashed during his last year.
