Summary

The Trump administration is facing backlash after reports that the Defense Department flagged over 26,000 images for deletion due to alleged connections to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Among them are photos of trailblazing pilots, including the Tuskegee Airmen and Col. Jeannie Leavitt.

Most controversially, an image of the WWII aircraft Enola Gay was flagged, seemingly because its name includes the word "gay."

The revelation has sparked mockery online, with critics calling this "the STUPIDEST administration in American history."

So...

Nixon (corrupt and rotten but did some useful things)

Fold (unelected)

Reagan (jelly beans, stupid phrases, blatant lies)

Bush I (Actually cunning, but did throw up on Japanese Prime Minister)

Bush II (Stupid, bushism )

Trump (Worse than Bush II)

The Republicans are not sending their best.

The Republicans are not sending their best.

They really are...

it's a callback to

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

The rest, you also assume, are bad people. 🐸 🍵

God, what I wouldn't give to punch his stupid face.

I can't believe they slammed the Trump administration!! Bravo on the slam!

So far the administration has been slammed, dunked, embarrassed, imploded, rebuked, and many more horrible-sounding synonyms fifty times over! One can only imagine they're on their last leg.

Right, The Humanist Report, The Damage Report, TYT, Bryan Tyler Cohen, Secular Talk, et al.? 🙄

Dear headline writers:

Unless "Slammed" is followed by "into the announcer's table," use a different word.

Thank you.

"To the floor/ground" would also be acceptable IMO..

Could we demonstrate to him, why the enola gay is famous by dropping another artificial sun on his current location?
