Echoes of late 2022 when Twitter abruptly fired thousands of people, then turned around days later and tried to rehire many of them. I'm sure it's purely a coincidence that one person is closely tied to both incidents.

If only we could know who it is, things would be so much different.
It's almost as this is done in a manner to distract from the hidden intention and doing it at Twitter was a test that confirmed its effectiveness. What a weird but definitely not happening possibility. Look over there! 👉 It's a trans immigrant that wants your dogs and women's gold medals!!
He fired the pandemic response team a few years before covid, because who needs that.

Christ, what a bunch of dumb motherfuckers.
Malicious intent x Incompetency = whatever the fuck this is.
It's an irrational number, that much I'm sure.
I wish it were just an imaginary number.
In any other democracy there would be heads rolling and people going to jail over this. But as usual your elected representatives with their thumbs up their asses
Well, time to renegotiate salary, isn't it?
Dude is this seriously all that's happening over there? Like this is not just a bubble with jokes, it's literally just all dumb shit bordering on satire?
Yep.
They are extending tax cuts for ultra-rich and corporations behind the clown show.
It's scary and sad as fuck. We are in for dark days i feel.
I've been doing my best to stay present with my family and know how to protect them first. Next I'll find ways to throw sand in the gears of this shit.
Do your best to not get caught up in the gears yourself.

Looks like the majority of the storage facilities are in Red states. Even though some are near me, I feel like saying screw it, let them stay unmonitored and lets see what blows up. A blunder of that magnitude would shake up even the most die-hard MAGAt.
You sure? That whole maga bullshit sounds a lot like a ruzzian plot to destroy USA.
Really a lot. Exactly like that tbh.
What, you mean just because Trump is Putin's lap dog? Or because Gabbard is now head of Intelligence?

you underestimate the power of the hatred that's been carefully cultivated and spread by the right and far-right the last sixty years.
they simply won't give a shit, even if their dick starts glowing green, as long as 'they' get it too.
Yeah you're probably right. Reality is a foreign concept to these people.
Thank you for pointing out that there is the right and then there is the far-right too. Things aren’t as binary as many netizens seem to think. Shades. Of. Grey.
No blunder is big enough to shake up MAGA. Literally nothing will threaten their allegiance to their god-king.
Eh, I can think of some things that might, its just that incompetence isnt one of them. But like, if Trump suddenly came out as trans or something, that might shake them up a bit.

They'd just blame it on "the radical left" and usher in martial law and the great purge.
Oh that'd be nice, but you just know it'll be "Damn Obama! Why did he blow up those nukes!' without a single hint of self-reflection.
i'd be ghosting those mf'ers, too.
“Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear” oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck “safety workers” ah ok…
What a stupid piece of shit
It has been like 2 days
Lol, man, I hope they're seeing these articles.
