in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.
Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.
Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.
This is what "merit" means to them.

Imagine having so much money that you can travel anywhere, buy anything you want, feed hungry kids…but instead of doing that, all you do is try to hurt people. What a fucking cruel, sad loser you’d be if you did that, right?

The soul-cruahing accuracy
The weirdest paradox is that after you hit 35, you pretty much feel like you’re both 20 and 60 years old at the same time forever. Like it’s just a lifetime of thinking “but what do I REALLY wanna do with my life” while you fire up the blood pressure machine that lives on the kitchen counter now

You might get better traction on building large movements if you stopped trying to find acceptable levels of racism

Black scholars argued this incessantly after the war. Britain killed 10’s of millions of Indians, Belgium enslaved and genocided the Congo, France slaughtered its Algerian subjects. Nazi Germany was the logical extension of US and European colonialism, not an aberration.

Earnestly cried about this bird the other day. “To find humanity, simply look for healed bones and toys.”
4) 2400 years ago, one Scythian wanted a plush bird toy and someone painstakingly made them one by hand out of three different colors of reindeer fur and felt, with contrast stitching. I think people will always do these things for each other. (Apparently Scythians loved plushies? Bitches, man.)

They flat out refused until there was a working group and specific guidelines. And even then, they *still* refused.
