    Ending DEI removes racial discrimination. Additionally, it removes the question of "did they earn it" when minorities gain acceptance into schools and employment roles.

    But the question remains when a moron gains acceptance into Wharton.

    Trump administration rescinds order attempting to freeze federal aid spending
    The move comes after the order sparked widespread criticism and confusion.A federal district judge had temporarily paused the freeze.

    Absolute incompetent buffoonery. This is akin to your CEO on Monday saying all production is to cease, and then on Wednesday saying my bad back to work.

    What a clown show and it’s been what two weeks??

    These were his main corporate entities that went bankrupt - his hotels business, not some side off shoot brand. And let's keep something clear here - he f'd his investors and the people involved with these companies over form the get go. He took other people's money and labor to build those hotels and casinos, then paid himself a ton of money as an executive to pay down his personal debt and buy himself 200 million dollar yachts, then when he couldn't restructure the companies debt filed for chapter 11 where his investors and the contracts of money owed got nothing. Only he got paid on a failed business.

    So yeah, that should be attached to him even if it was a personal bankruptcy because that is exactly what he is about to do to the federal gov't.

    Hey MAGAT he did more than end DEI. He withdrew LBJ executive order of 1965 ending discrimination in federal contracts and he asked his NLRB/EEOC to stop looking into racism discrimination charges.

    Again youre a moron and you'll never be smarter than me. Your MAGA disinformation doesn't work here

    Well this is what you get with a Trump administration. Trump showed us during the 1st term that he is more interested to get out of ahead and do whatever he wants to do without actually putting thought into how his actions can cause a lot of chaos. His supporters are cheering him on, but man, these kind of things just show you how amateurish his hired help is.

    I'm pretty sure she is mistaken. Here is the NYTimes stating what is actually intended by her statement:

    The more I think about this, the more concerning it is.

    Congress controls spending. The president can not unilaterally refuse to spend money that congress has delegated. Thats what the constitution says. Trump picking and choosing what programs he wants to allow and not allow unilaterally is unconstitutional.

    If this was a democrat doing this the MAGATs would be having an anxiety attack calling for his impeachment.

    This is typical of the incompetence, they had no idea all the programs effected by that edict.

    None......yet they went ahead and tried it anyway.

    The biggest DUMBASSES ever to be in the Whitehouse.

    Anyone want to bet we survive as a republic? Yeah, me neither.
