Summary
The Trump administration abruptly fired multiple National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) employees, then struggled to reinstate some due to a lack of updated contact information.
The NNSA, which oversees the U.S. nuclear stockpile, asked remaining employees to relay the message.
The terminations, part of mass federal layoffs orchestrated by Trump and Elon Musk, coincided with a Russian drone strike on Chernobyl, raising security concerns.
I would be asking for a year of salary up front, in addition to my regular paycheck.
Because there is no way in hell I would trust this jackal with my job security.
I’d also be asking for a significant raise and to keep any severance money, tax free.
And a big fat bonus.
and two new cars.
And my axe!
But not teslas
Hell no. No one that smart would even dream of driving one of those trash heaps.

But that’s just one more step towards privatizing everything in government. This is what he wants.
while it sucks, these are also real people in the balance. this might also be a rare chance to stick the the muskovite and the orange demagogue with consequences, and by god, we need to take everyone of those chances we get
I understand the real people part, but you wouldn’t be sticking anything to anyone. We’re talking about the most powerful person on the planet along with trump.
It’s what they want. He just wants more money and power, and doesn’t care how it happens.

In my divorced-from-reality headcanon that’s exactly what’s going on. Trump has just toddled from one disaster to another, completely impervious to any fallout. There’s no way in hell he doesn’t have plot armour. Which begs the question; who the hell is writing this slop, and how do we get out?
Like, Clinton sexually assaulted a secretary and that stained him and his wife.
Trump has
- Expressed desire to shag his daughter
- Openly admitted to sexually assaulting women
- Mocked a disabled reporter
- Incited an attack on the U.S. Capitol
- Somehow survived getting shot at twice
- Has a chronic case of verbal diarrhoea to the point of incoherence
- Managed to get elected as a convicted felon, even though many felons can’t even vote
Not to mention his first disastrous term in office!
He’s spent his entire life falling up the stairs.
Quick! Somebody watch old Mr Magoo tapes! Maybe there’s something in there we missed where Mr Magoo unknowingly plots a coup on the capitol building, or tries to downplay a global pandemic in real time as the director of health completely contradicts literally everything he says, as he says it, on national television while she’s standing right next to him, or maybe Mr Magoo…aw fuck it. Mr Magoo didn’t do any of this stuff! He was an innocent old man who had zero self awareness. Trump is just an evil man who’s intentionally doing this. Now we gotta figure out how he’s getting away with this. It’s like last night when I was playing Legend Bowl watching a CPU vs CPU game of Cincinnati vs Chicago. Everytime Cincinnati had the ball it was the same play. Get your blockers in place, quarterback backs up, delaying the blitz, waits until the blitzers are closing in, and then drops a long bomb like 40 yards downfield to a wide open reciever. Whys he wide open? Because Chicago is blitzing with everything they’ve got. But the blitz never sacks, because the quarterback gets space, delays the blitz, teases them, and then gets the pass off in time. And yet every play Chicago blitzs. Yet Chicago never figured out how to contain the passing game.
Well it’s like that. The democrats have to figure out what to do to get consequences to stick to trump. Except instead of a blitz, the democrats are doing a different stratagy. They’re just kind of sitting around doing nothing, and wondering why the republicans keep taking ground.
pokes the democrats with a stick
C’mon…do something…
i think you might be expecting more than what is there. it doesn’t take intelligence, competence, morals, or any of the other things that you’d need for 99.999% of jobs in order to start a cult. in fact you need the opposite of all those things. people love trump for the same reason they love jerry springer and bullshit reality tv-- shouting, conflict, controversy, idiocy-- the proles can’t fucking get enough, and when you blame their shitty lives on the things they already hate because they’re fucking ignorant, well you pretty much own them now
Clinton was a Democrat, and Democrats have morals. Republicans clearly do not
We really back to throwing the r-slur around just because Nazi Musk tweeted it? This is like the 5th comment I’ve seen.
Fucking grow a pair and do better.
This is like the 5th comment I’ve seen.
it would seem the world has moved on from that particular outrage. don’t worry, everyone knows how offended you are
edit: not that i give a shit, but i just wanted to point out: if you’re going to go full blown SJW, “grow a pair” implies that people without a pair (i.e.: women) must be somehow inferior

It’s not ineptitude.
He is a ruzzian asset. It’s as simple as that.
I’ll call it the “Census”.
Who could have predicted this? Surely not after Musk fired the entire super charger team and then had to hire them back?
Didn’t he also fire anyone who was able to maintain Twitter and had to scramble for them back?
No, definitely no pattern. Musk is the best man for the job
MORON
“Move fast, break things.”
“No, not like that!”
…shit! Where’s the nukulier button? You know? …sir, you fired the only people who knew…call them back! …sir we don’t have their phone number or email!
Stupid leader doing stupid things. More at 11
It’s all good, he knows a lot about nuclear.
Who would take an offer with a decades long history of not paying their bills?
Send a raven
I honestly hope they never manage to contact a single one.
Find the place in the US that’s farthest from any nuclear reactor, they probably moved there.
