    Fellow Vet here. Zero sympathy here. Vets who voted for Trump voted against their oath.

      The only way I can understand the mental gymnastics is that the right manipulated the “I don’t understand that persons job, I work harder than they do, I don’t like my boss” sentiments, so everyone felt that they were safe but that the people they don’t like would get sacked.

    Well, they got what they voted for.

    Vote for someone promising to fire “DEI” and that’s what you get, it’s your fault for not knowing you’re part of DEI

      As someone said to Jesse Waters (something along the lines of) Your problem is when you see DEI, you think black.

    his performance wasn’t good enough came as “a complete shock” because he had previously received positive feedback

    It is sad when a guy who worked for so long doesn’t even know the basics of performance reviews: everything is bullshit from HR and management in order to fire you later. There is no performance, there is no family, and they all discovered that the MAGA family behaves the same way as a bad company.

    The main thing now is to get these people working against Trump. They are the ones who are most likely to get those who still support him to change their minds.
