Trump administration tries to bring back fired nuclear weapons workers in DOGE reversal

“The DOGE people are coming in with absolutely no knowledge of what these departments are responsible for,” said Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, referencing Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency team. “They don’t seem to realize that it’s actually the department of nuclear weapons more than it is the Department of Energy.”

What absolute idiots Musk and his team of incels are! They had no idea that they were risking America's nuclear arsenal.

So how can they say that they are only eliminating waste when they sack such crucial jobs as securing nuclear weapons.

What an absolute disaster for national security.

oops! The blind leading the blind.

the inmates are running the asylum.

Lets cut almost everything and see what stops. Oops, didnt mean to include our nuclear deterrent.

Cdc gutted, anti vaxer in charge of health, unelected guy in charge of all federal government agencies guts Department of Energy.

This really is the plot line of a cheap c grade comedy movie titled - Disaster America, When a felon takes over the White house, he puts a less than savvy business man in charge of government efficiency and chaos ensues. Watch the high-jinx that surrounds the bumbling duo who bring one disaster after another to America.

A slice of Musk's $8 billion government wages would have covered the wages of the workers.

Musk is way over his head. Absolutely a DEI hire. No qualifications whatsoever. Was just hired because of his loyalty to Trump.

Many federal employees who had worked on the nation's nuclear programs had spent their entire careers there, and there was a wave of retirements in recent years that cost the agency years of institutional knowledge.

So sad. These dedicated employees had to be let go because of thoughtless act by a dictator. If they try to bring them back though, they will have all the leverage in the world to demand higher pays, more benefits, etc.

The Big Bang Theory meets government administration.

Imagine knowing so little about government and its workings that you proudly fire the people responsible for the nuclear arsenal. Truly incredible level of ignorance and stupidity. The DOGE crew should actually be arrested and tried for endangering the entire country.

Surely there are some Russian nuclear experts they can hire on the cheap? Few dollars goes a long way in Moscow right now.

“I think the signal to U.S. adversaries is pretty clear: throw a monkey wrench in the whole national security apparatus and cause disarray,” he said. “That can only benefit the adversaries of this country.”

Esp. since this Antichrist is a lackey for Putin.

Even if I were a nuke weapons worker, I wouldn't work for this scummy Hitler if he offered me a zillion dollars! And the same goes to Muskrat.

'You can't buy me, I don't care what you pay!'. Just like the rock'n'rollers who boycotted the Sun City resort in the 80s, you have to stand for something.

I wouldn't want anything to do with this immoral degraded totalitarian regime run by trumPutin or the dirty disease-ridden Muskrat. They are Unamerican.

Nice touch with the confused face photo. MSM is on their game..."the sky is falling...the sky is falling"

Only the best for trump and so many win.

Is the US great yet or do we need to wait one more week?

The DOGE crew should actually be arrested and tried for endangering the entire country.

And the Top leader as they are, ultimately, responsible.

Yeah, firing a lot of employees with top-secrete clearances in US nuclear weapons technology without any notification or warning their employment was somehow in jeopardy - that's some long-term national security thinking right there. You know someone called Congressman Ronny Jackson's office and gave his staff an earful for this nonsense.

knowing they won’t be silenced for it.

Except if they're trans, then they apparently don't even exist.

The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation.

This should never be the case in a democratic society.

The one beautiful thing about America and something that no one should ever take for granted is we all have the right to choose

You know, you have a point there.

Right now in Texas, there's a massive measles outbreak going on, and the people affected are, almost without exception, those who had the "right to choose" not to vaccinate themselves or their children.

Now, politically speaking, the Darwin-style wipeout of a whole bunch of republican voters is all upside and no downside. As the saying goes "nothing of value was lost". But their own kids are going to suffer like hell because of the blind obeisance of their parents towards the MAGA movement.

I guess you're cool with that, as it was their right to choose...

"I'm sorry, the congressman is passed-out drunk in the corner of his office right now, and I cannot get him to wake up".

The team that can't shoot straight threatening us all. Thanks, MAGAs.

Hysterical. Nobody is saying the sky is falling or the walls are closing in.

Cutting waste is a good thing but you did get the sense Trump and Musk were virtue signaling first and thinking later.

Not a good approach.

Hysterical. Nobody is saying the sky is falling or the walls are closing in.

“throw a monkey wrench in the whole national security apparatus and cause disarray,” he said. “That can only benefit the adversaries of this country.”

In a manner of speaking, it was implied

So loyal he didn't pay taxes for years.

Debunked, he did

Yeah, you'll get some good fresh-out-of-highschool white supremacist that totally won't be a national security risk.

What is up with you guys and the constant need to invoke White Supremacists?

did the MSM say mean things?

No, they’re saying hysterical things

“throw a monkey wrench in the whole national security apparatus and cause disarray,” he said. “That can only benefit the adversaries of this country.”

?

In no way does it come close to the sky is falling or the walls closing in.

Avoid work where emergencies are frequent. Maybe working as a historian is suitable.

did the MSM say mean things?

No, they’re saying hysterical things

So what sources would you recommend?

Links would be nothing short of absolutely lovely.

In no way does it come close to the sky is falling or the walls closing in.

"DOGE's blind cost cutting will put communities at risk"

What risk exactly are we talking about? Oh...the article tells us

“They don’t seem to realize that it’s actually the department of nuclear weapons more than it is the Department of Energy.”

Oh my! The US's nuclear weapons have been compromised...the sky is falling...the sky is falling!

Ha ha ha! Masterminds in motion!

So what sources would you recommend?

I recommend reading a variety of sources, listening to a variety of experts in whatever topic is at hand, and not jumping to hysterical conclusions when news outlets sensationalize stories to gin up fears in order to attract readers or viewers…or to vilify politicians they don’t like

Because your crew is riddled with them. Even Ramaswamy could see it.

That would be like saying all Dems are closet conservatives.

Even Ramaswamy could see it.

A bit different of what he meant

No…a variety of sources

Ah, so just mixing those in with others. Here is a hint: if you don't occasionally turn off the Faux News and turn on the MSNBC, you are not actually using a variety of sources.

Literally says effectively zero in two years and a massive refund in another.

Elon's obscenely rich so he knows what he's doing. Trump is obscenely rich so he knows what he's doing. Wrong. In realty, they have no idea what they are doing but it won't cost them anything by screwing up the government, letting Ukraine get destroyed by Russia and alienating our loyal allies. When the real outcry comes, it will be far too late and they'll just blame Biden and Obama and their MAGA base will eat it all up and agree wholeheartedly. Too bad they don't know that they are next and it's already started.
