Trump Officials Want to Un-Fire Nuclear Safety Workers

National Nuclear Security Administration officials on Friday attempted to notify some employees who had been let go the day before that they are now due to be reinstated -- but they struggled to find them because they didn't have their new contact information.

Trump officials have terminated more than 300 staffers at the National Nuclear Security Administration without realizing that they oversee America's nuclear weapons. They are now trying to rescind the terminations.

It's called "whistling past the graveyard."

The sort of gross and dangerous incompetence we all expect from the Idiot-in-Chief.

Even you, MAGA. Be honest.

A reporter needs to ask the orange pedo who's keeping track of of our nukes?

Why?

They were in a probationary period.

Happens all the time in the real world.

Why be loyal to any employer who treats people like crap. If I was treated like that I would be had to find too.

I would claim monkeys with guns, but that would be insulting the monkeys.

No it did not.

NOW it does.

Because apparently that is the world you voted for and the one in which wish to live.

Those who work taking care of our nuclear weapons work in the most real world that exists anywhere in the world. Only a completely irresponsible fool would have fired those people;
Precisely Trump or Musk who are so blinded by their sense of power and not hindered by any common sense.
But they know they can depend on MAGAmorons to defend every stupid thing they do and in this case what they did was just incredibly stupid and as expected there is a MAGAmoron ready to defend it.
