I confess to back pedaling into Trump territory when I wanted to leave discussions about him in the garbage can. My thread on the read-only break room site has 9,600 replies so I thought I'd bring up a new one.
He's not going away.
Haberman's book is out based on interviews. I won't read it, but the excerpts are interesting. Especially what he says about McConnell, a description that's against the Terms of Service here, but I actually don't disagree with. LOL
Quote
“At one point, Trump made a candid admission that was as jarring as it was ultimately unsurprising. ‘The question I get asked more than any other question: “If you had it to do again, would you have done it?”’Trump said of running for president. ‘The answer is, yeah, I think so. Because here’s the way I look at it. I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.’ … Reflecting on the meaning of having been president of the United States, his first impulse was not to mention public service, or what he felt he’d accomplished, only that it appeared to be a vehicle for fame, and that many experiences were only worth having if someone else envied them.”
Tuskegee Airmen DEI hires. Not sure if we're gonna survive this as a country. By the way, I have some choice words for those who are saying, "ya but they're named on this other website so what's the big deal?"
Meanwhile, nobody mentions the Navajo code talkers, also scrubbed.
If anyone is still in doubt that white supremacists are looking to finalize their theft of this continent, this attempt to purge history should make the point.

The caucasity is overwhelming.
So riddle me this.
Outrage had their page restored, but how is recording their history on military web pages DEI? They changed the course of the war. Maybe the white person whose idea it was to use them was over looked in their favor? Is that it? Make it make sense.

Agree 100%
The website for Arlington National Cemetery "unpublished" links to lists of notable graves, walking tours and educational material pertaining to Black, Hispanic and women veterans, as well as some Medal of Honor recipients. So you can fight for your country but military accomplishments promoted on website only if your white??
Many of those interred in Arlington's more than 600 acres made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Their legacies shouldn't fall victim to Trump's virulent attacks on DEI.
...In recent weeks, Arlington National Cemetery officials have unpublished website links to the history of Black, Hispanic, and female service members to comply with President Donald Trump's sweeping executive order aimed at ending diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts....
...I reached out to cemetery officials on Tuesday, who said in an email statement that no service member names have been removed from the "notable graves" section on their website.
However, they added, those whose information previously had been listed under "African American History" or "Women's History" categories could now be found in other sections such as "Prominent Military Figures" or "Science, Technology and Engineering.”
"We are actively working to update our educational content in compliance with executive orders issued by the president and Department of Defense instruction,” cemetery officials said in a statement.
In other words, they now lump people together, ignoring the unique circumstances and considerable obstacles many had to overcome because of their race and sex....
Arlington National Cemetery is sacred. Many of those interred in the more than 600 acres made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Their legacies should be hands-off and protected from Trump's virulent and racist attacks on DEI.
The fact that Arlington National Cemetery has been dragged into this administration's anti-DEI nonsense was first reported by Task and Purpose on March 13....
President George W. Bush appointed Judge Boasberg to the court, Obama elevated him to the Federal bench, while Justice Roberts appointed him to United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) in 2014, and he served as the presiding judge of the FISC from 2020 to 2021. In 2020, he was appointed to the United States Alien Terrorist Removal Court and designated chief judge. So not an "unknown" judge.
Kosher for Presidents to threaten judges and the Supreme Court now?

Sounds like much ado over nothing. From the Arlington Web Page:

Arlington National Cemetery is actively working to update our website and Education Program content in compliance with executive orders issued by the president and Department of Defense instructions.
We want to clarify that no service members have been permanently removed from the "Notable Graves" section of our website. These pages highlight stories of historically significant individuals with accuracy and in commemoration of their service and sacrifice. All profiles of individuals from the previously listed categories "African American History,” "Hispanic American History" and "Women's History" can be found in other categories, such as "Prominent Military Figures,” "Politics and Government," or "Science, Technology and Engineering" (to name a few examples), based on the person's historical contributions to our nation.

"White House officials informed the Navajo Nation that an artificial intelligence-powered automated review process looking for content with DEI initiatives led to the elimination of anything mentioning "Navajo,” according to a statement from Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren.
Nygren, who sent a letter to the Defense Department requesting clarity on the issue, said he's pleased by the resolution.
"I want to assure the Navajo people that we remain in close communication with federal officials to ensure the legacy of our cherished Navajo Code Talkers is never erased from American and Navajo history,” Nygren said."

It wasn't nothing, and sure in the scheme of things small potatoes. They deleted those web pages. Just because they saw their error they still did it. Make it make sense and connect it to DEI.
