Today, Trump, Musk and RFK Jr. started their mass layoffs at HHS. One FDA employee called it a 'bloodbath'. Whatever you want to call it, here's what it means: more people will die. We're fighting this assault on public health with everything we've got.

If you weren't an ape-faced, rich monster who sold his soul to Donald Trump this would be enough to get you fired.

And 40% of COVID deaths could have been avoided.

Who cares? Not Republicans.

That's right.

You couldn't them to care when people were dying.

You can't get them to care when they are dead.

You see the same thing with measles.

You'll see the same thing with the next million KIA pandemic.

The far right never cares who dies.

Unless t's them.

'We totally meant to haphazardly take a sledge hammer to critical government functions that people like having because we knew that, for efficiency's sake, we'd have to hire them back again' is not the dunk that idiot thinks it is.

If had been unable to maintain or repair 20% of the things I was responsible for on I would have been fired in pretty quick order.

He certainly wasn't hired for his competence, knowledge, accuracy or efficiency.

So is this guy one of them "DEI hires"?
