Summary
The Trump administration abruptly fired multiple National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) employees, then struggled to reinstate some due to a lack of updated contact information.
The NNSA, which oversees the U.S. nuclear stockpile, asked remaining employees to relay the message.
The terminations, part of mass federal layoffs orchestrated by Trump and Elon Musk, coincided with a Russian drone strike on Chernobyl, raising security concerns.
I would be asking for a year of salary up front, in addition to my regular paycheck.
Because there is no way in hell I would trust this jackal with my job security.
I’d also be asking for a significant raise and to keep any severance money, tax free.
And a big fat bonus.
and two new cars.
And my axe!
I also choose this guy’s axe.
That’s an old reference from the dark place, friend.
But not teslas
Hell no. No one that smart would even dream of driving one of those trash heaps.
4 years.
Minimum.

But that’s just one more step towards privatizing everything in government. This is what he wants.
while it sucks, these are also real people in the balance. this might also be a rare chance to stick the the muskovite and the orange demagogue with consequences, and by god, we need to take everyone of those chances we get
I understand the real people part, but you wouldn’t be sticking anything to anyone. We’re talking about the most powerful person on the planet along with trump.
It’s what they want. He just wants more money and power, and doesn’t care how it happens.

In my divorced-from-reality headcanon that’s exactly what’s going on. Trump has just toddled from one disaster to another, completely impervious to any fallout. There’s no way in hell he doesn’t have plot armour. Which begs the question; who the hell is writing this slop, and how do we get out?
Like, Clinton sexually assaulted a secretary and that stained him and his wife.
Trump has
- Expressed desire to shag his daughter
- Openly admitted to sexually assaulting women
- Mocked a disabled reporter
- Incited an attack on the U.S. Capitol
- Somehow survived getting shot at twice
- Has a chronic case of verbal diarrhoea to the point of incoherence
- Managed to get elected as a convicted felon, even though many felons can’t even vote
Not to mention his first disastrous term in office!
He’s spent his entire life falling up the stairs.
Quick! Somebody watch old Mr Magoo tapes! Maybe there’s something in there we missed where Mr Magoo unknowingly plots a coup on the capitol building, or tries to downplay a global pandemic in real time as the director of health completely contradicts literally everything he says, as he says it, on national television while she’s standing right next to him, or maybe Mr Magoo…aw fuck it. Mr Magoo didn’t do any of this stuff! He was an innocent old man who had zero self awareness. Trump is just an evil man who’s intentionally doing this. Now we gotta figure out how he’s getting away with this. It’s like last night when I was playing Legend Bowl watching a CPU vs CPU game of Cincinnati vs Chicago. Everytime Cincinnati had the ball it was the same play. Get your blockers in place, quarterback backs up, delaying the blitz, waits until the blitzers are closing in, and then drops a long bomb like 40 yards downfield to a wide open reciever. Whys he wide open? Because Chicago is blitzing with everything they’ve got. But the blitz never sacks, because the quarterback gets space, delays the blitz, teases them, and then gets the pass off in time. And yet every play Chicago blitzs. Yet Chicago never figured out how to contain the passing game.
Well it’s like that. The democrats have to figure out what to do to get consequences to stick to trump. Except instead of a blitz, the democrats are doing a different stratagy. They’re just kind of sitting around doing nothing, and wondering why the republicans keep taking ground.
pokes the democrats with a stick
C’mon…do something…
i think you might be expecting more than what is there. it doesn’t take intelligence, competence, morals, or any of the other things that you’d need for 99.999% of jobs in order to start a cult. in fact you need the opposite of all those things. people love trump for the same reason they love jerry springer and bullshit reality tv-- shouting, conflict, controversy, idiocy-- the proles can’t fucking get enough, and when you blame their shitty lives on the things they already hate because they’re fucking ignorant, well you pretty much own them now
Clinton was a Democrat, and Democrats have morals. Republicans clearly do not

We really back to throwing the r-slur around just because Nazi Musk tweeted it? This is like the 5th comment I’ve seen.
Fucking grow a pair and do better.
This is like the 5th comment I’ve seen.
it would seem the world has moved on from that particular outrage. don’t worry, everyone knows how offended you are
edit: not that i give a shit, but i just wanted to point out: if you’re going to go full blown SJW, “grow a pair” implies that people without a pair (i.e.: women) must be somehow inferior
It’s not ineptitude.
He is a ruzzian asset. It’s as simple as that.
I’ll call it the “Census”.
These guys are so cartoonishly bad at everything that they can’t even fire people right.
This shit is the closest I’ve ever been to believing in god, because I’m desperately running out of other ways to explain how anyone this absolutely inept at everything could fail up so hard. If it’s not divine intervention then I don’t know what the fuck the world even is anymore.
If this is divine intervention, that god deserves no ones praise
If there really is a god and afterlife first thing I’m doing is asking if they had any control over any of this.
If they say yes I’m going to go primal and shit in my hand and throw it at them.
The thing that’s done the most to restore some kind of faith in me, is the fact that stories of the antichrist include people who pretend they are good Christians following him. The closest I can come to Christ is if I call most “Christians” I hear “antichrist-ians”.
it’s not because of them doing anything right, it’s because of their dumb chucklefuck worshippers lifting them up. because of dear great leader trump. once he’s finally fucking dead, they’ll scatter like cockroaches when the light comes on. everything will still be fucked, but at least there isn’t anyone else they’ve deified. yet
Who could have predicted this? Surely not after Musk fired the entire super charger team and then had to hire them back?
Didn’t he also fire anyone who was able to maintain Twitter and had to scramble for them back?
No, definitely no pattern. Musk is the best man for the job
MORON
“Move fast, break things.”
“No, not like that!”
…shit! Where’s the nukulier button? You know? …sir, you fired the only people who knew…call them back! …sir we don’t have their phone number or email!
It’s all good, he knows a lot about nuclear.
Stupid leader doing stupid things. More at 11
Who would take an offer with a decades long history of not paying their bills?
I honestly hope they never manage to contact a single one.
Send a raven
Find the place in the US that’s farthest from any nuclear reactor, they probably moved there.
Yeah they probably welded themselves in the launch silos, no chance of abandoning post
