Trump's DEI purge saving taxpayers $420 million. That was total waste, handouts, laundering money to go to political donations.

To show what a waste it was, liberals themselves hate DEI as they hate Kamala being a DEI hire.

There are likely other costs also, such as plane malfunctions, etc.

It likely affected all sectors.

If it's not rooted out, the costs will continue to accumulate.


Why hire someone that's not based upon merit?

That's silly, can be dangerous, and not efficient.

The reason is, "it's not my money" ideology.


It's like Biden and Soetoro buying beach-front estates while selling climate change snake oil.

If you gave it all to NYC alone it wouldn't even pay two days of its annual budget. It's not even as big as the civil judgment against felon Trump.

Maybe Trump should sell his MAGA tears. MAGA dummies buy anything from him.

In the early days of the camel face campaign she said she was going to bring joy to the country. One of my favorite interviews was a minority guy sitting on a bus bench and they asked him who he was voting for and he said Kamala. They asked him why and he said because he wanted joy in his life and he doesn't have any joy right now. The reporter said to him but Kamala is in office right now, doesn't that bring you joy? His answer was, huh?

That in a nutshell sums up the entire doomed campaign of camel face. They know now that right from the start according to her own internal polls she only had a 5% chance of ever beating Trump. This is why they were depending so much on the assassination attempts. When those failed you could see and feel the air completely going out of their campaign because they had nothing left. And if you don't think the Dems were behind those assassinations, you have your head completely stuck somewhere where the sun doesn't shine. There's a reason the Biden Secret Service was keeping a tight lid on any information on those attempts. We'll see what comes out now that Trump is president.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I still prefer CommieLa as a nickname to remind people of the "Equity" talking points she made

the sad thing is, she probably didn't know the implications and was just what the Communists call a "useful idiot"

So what? It is savings, DEI was giving no value. It was just a way to hand out nice jobs to favored people. People like Mr. Brown of Diversity Tomorrow. Getting rid of it is a great thing. How much more of this waste will be cut?

Companies can force older people into retirement earlier. You can’t keep up, they can pay someone younger less. That’s what hiring solely by merit means also.

Trump quote:

---------------

I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia. This order was given by Colombia’s Socialist President Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people. Petro’s denial of these flights has jeopardized the National Security and Public Safety of the United States, so I have directed my Administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures:

-Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States. In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%.

-A Travel Ban and immediate Visa Revocations on the Colombian Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters.

-Visa Sanctions on all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government.

-Enhanced Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian Nationals and Cargo on national security grounds.

-IEEPA Treasury, Banking and Financial Sanctions to be fully imposed.

These measures are just the beginning. We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States!
