Dei a Creation by despicable Democrats

[@s.j.bluewater908]

Democrats are a dangerous entity controlled by elite money it seems. They need to be disbanded and restarted. Like Labour and Tories in Britain

[@arijah1253]

Dei, a term created by despicable Republicans to demonize any government agency or program that Trump tells them to despise. This includes the politicization of a real life tragedy involving the deaths of innocent aviation passengers, airline crewmen, and our service members. Poor excuse of an American. Move to Russia. Your comrades will greet you with open arms, or more realistically, enlistment papers for Russo Ukrainian war

Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying.

Not sure why understanding the concept of DEI is so difficult for the “poorly educated.” It’s most likely due to the FACT that more than 50% of ADULT Americans read at and ultimately BELOW a 6th grade level.

They are NOT service members, but I am a Veteran and don't believe women should serve in combat because when I served, I weighed 105 lbs. I could carry 55 lbs of gear but never 140 lbs of gear or a wounded MAN. These two have nothing in common except that DEI hires generally do a bad job. Every hire should be based on merit!
