You would think this is an insult to the Trump administration but it is really a testament to the inefficient chaos that is the government bureaucracy. I worked for the fed government for approximately 15 years when hundreds of coworkers and myself received letters explaining the agency had no idea who we were. We would all have to repeat our background checks and resubmit fingerprints to the FBI. Some of the people had been there for 25+ years.

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.

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
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.
They’d blame the others anyway, fascists always blame everyone else.
At this point, isn’t it similar to asking whether it’s a parody? When reality is more twisted, how do you even write parody or Russian plot that is believable?
Is this the real point? Drive those Russian plotters out of a job by being worse than they can imagine? More extreme than would be believable from them?
What, you mean just because Trump is Putin's lap dog? Or because Gabbard is now head of Intelligence?
A blunder of that magnitude would shake up even the most die-hard MAGAt
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.
What a stupid piece of shit
