We need a much simpler, more insulting term to use to drive the message home with smooth brains

[–] omawarisan@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

No you don't understand, the former military officer isn't qualified to run the DOD.

The play's the thing, wherein I'll catch the ~~conscience~~ eye of the king!

We need someone that will shake things up. The kind of maverick who will do as he is told. The kind of forward thinker who looks to our bigoted past for inspiration. The kind of man who isn't afraid to get drunk and rape some women.

Call it what it is: A DUI hire

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 days ago

Yeah, exactly.

Not just massively unqualified with respect to relevant occupational skills and experience, but also a known, belligerent drunk.

He wasn't white so it must have been DEI, I've learned 1 thing about DEI from MAGA the last months > if the person isn't white or/and can't be treated like a slave > it's a DEI hire

@jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de @expatriado@lemmy.world @wazzupdog@lemmy.blahaj.zone very true, I should have specified straight white man without any disabilities

[–] HerrBeter@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Straight white men whom kiss the boot and have a past making them clearly inappropriate

It's just the latest way to say the slur they cannot say otherwise. The reader can replace it with their favorite slur referring to the minority in question.

Oh the n word will be making a comeback with the full hard R real soon now. Just you watch.

It’s funny how many female appointments he has while screaming about DEI.

"The only good women, are ones that lick my boot"

[–] taanegl@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

They have the merit of being really good at glue sniffing I'll have you know.

Well duh, he's white so obviously he can do anything. What part of "white supremacy" don't you understand??
