    Lad, what dost thou disagree with?

    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      I think he means that the title would imply this was a special and rare event, where the real special and rare event would be when Vivek wasn’t spouting off.

        I agree. A more accurate title would read

        Elbows up!

          The term 'Gobshite' springs inexplicably to mind.

          As does 'Arse licker'.

          An arse licking gobshite.

          I bet his breath smells something awful.

          I was only joking

            Kiss him and find out.

            No tongue on the first kiss, though. The proprieties must be observed!

              I think there are a lot of jobs federal and otherwise that only exist because some law or regulation requires that someone keeps tabs on some statistic. Healthcare and education are rife with them. My strong suspicion is no harm would come of eliminating the requirement and the accompanying positions.

                Never forge DEI.

                It's like "higher" education, where administrators and staff outnumber students.

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  Or even just public education, K-12.

                  How many positions (as a percentage) are tasked with chasing Federal requirements or monies?

                      Where have many of our highly touted job gains come from?

                      Government, or government requirements.

                      We have created a better-paying WPA, without the Depression part.
