Let’s be serious: the people in charge of this administration are not interested in merit. They've overruled the merit process to block the promotion of Black military officers - and lavish favors on people who can pay dues at Trump's private clubs or write big checks to his ballroom project.

In Trump's US of Shitholes it's illegal to threaten to kill a person,but it's OK for your president to threaten to exterminate Iran's population.

Fuck Al Sharpton. He’s a big race baiter.

Neither were prior @democrats.org administrations. First they instituted DEI,which is a non merit based process. Then they implemented the policy with no mandate from the people. There are no DEI laws. They twisted the arms of corporations. Why? Because @democrats.org think they know better.

One word: Hegseth.

@frantzfranis.bsky.social · Apr 10

You put that race baiting grifter, liar, tax-cheat, POS as a moral authority and expect people to respect you and possibly vote for you. Being absolutely morally bankrupt and delusional will not win you any votes.

The Trump administration is filled with pedophiles and racists.

Origin story of modern GOP: reactionary response to expanding civil rights to people of color, women, gays.... It grew from fear of equality & terror of meritocracy exposing white male mediocrity & abolishing unearned, unquestioned preference & privilege, & unearned advantages long taken for granted

@jonnythatcher.bsky.social · Apr 10

Maybe because they haven’t hit there on merit themselves. Everyone in the Trump team is beyond useless. He’s helming a ship of fools…

The moment DEI was rescinded many of my neurodivergent friends lost their jobs. It was used as an excuse to get rid of people they didn't like, even those who are extremely capable, if not more so. The world's people lost so much while so many continue the charade that this is better.

Pete you and your family need to move to California so that you can become California's new governer! You are the perfect man for the job. Then later you can be POTUS

Liberal Donald J. Trump · Apr 10

Merit? PLEASE. They gutted it the second it threatened their little club. Block Black officers, reward check-writers and Mar-a-Lago members? DISGUSTING. This isn’t leadership—it’s a rigged country club with nukes. TOTAL FRAUD, and everyone sees it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

STOP throwing Trans people under the bus! 😡

Pete, we need to possibly put the Inspector Generals for each department to take charge when trump leaves to attempt to correct the wrong if need be. The new administration will have their hands full just running the country.

I’ll vote for the Dem candidate who releases the Epstein files, refuses AIPAC $, calls Netanyahu a war criminal & vows to hold each & EVERY member of the Trump administration AND GOP members of Congress who were complicit (1/6 sedition & treason) truly accountable. I don’t think u r angry enough.

No merit. No honesty. No integrity. No compassion. No anything but personal greed and enrichment.

They only want to see one skin color on display in this country—kind of like —Russia.

It's the most openly and unashamedly racist administration in decades. Discrimination of all types must end. Glad you are running Pete.

Edith Horwitz · Apr 10

Not just merit. Add integrity. Credibility. Honor. No this administration is only interested in one thing; corrupted power.
