What Happened the Last Time a President Purged the Bureaucracy

The impact can linger not just for years but decades.

On Jan. 22, 1953, his first day as secretary of state, John Foster
Dulles addressed a group of diplomats at his department's still-new headquarters in Washington's Foggy Bottom neighborhood. For years, the
State Department had come under fire from Republicans and conservative activists as a haven for Communist spies and sympathizers -- and not
without reason, since one of its rising stars, Alger Hiss, had been
convicted of perjury in January 1950 for lying about giving secret
government documents to a Soviet spy.

I don't like communists. They should be deported together with the
democrats! They can drink Cuba Libres in Guantanamo.

Are you a "free speech" denier?

Sorry to butt in to this very interesting conversation...

Am I allowed to ask what a "homo denier" is?

Is it somebody who denies entry to a "homo", like not turning
your back to them with your pants down, or is it a "homo" that
denies being a "homo"?

Once we have this very important definition clarified you can
carry on...

I don't see how that is related? They can still speak regardless of where

"Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government: When
this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is
dissolved," wrote Founding Father Benjamin Franklin in The
Pennsylvania Gazette.

Have you heard about the T-Borg eliminating information on government
web sites? Free speech is being removed under the T-Borg regime.

Why are the Rs not complaining now? They did for years on this topic.

Heard this one just a few day ago:
You're laying in bed between a absolutely beautiful wpman on
one side of you and gay man on the other side. Who would you
turn your back to?

That's a trick question! ;-)

Of course!

Is it somebody who denies entry to a "homo", like not turning
your back to them with your pants down, or is it a "homo" that
denies being a "homo"?

It could also be a straighto who denies the existence of homos!

I just asked the wife, and she liked the homo denying being a homo. Would
that be the anti-homo?

In my case, I'd lean towards the straighto denying the existence of homos.

Let's do it! =D

Do you drink Lapsang? It is the ultimate straighto of the teas!

I think before Homer wrote about scylla and charybdis, this was what he
had in mind first. His editor for some reason wanted him to go with two monsters instead.

I always guard my hole. Always!

In fact, I have a pending patent on what I call an "anus-protector". With
that excellent invention, you could solve your dilemma and safely turn
your back to the omo.

An organizations text on their web site is not covered under freedom of
speech. Neither does it imply the employees right to write what ever they
want on an organizations web site.

I think for your own safety, that maybe we should drop this thread? I
would very much like your input on the homo denier thread.

AI Overview

According to recent reports, the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
has been removing public information from its website due to
directives from the Trump administration, which has resulted in a
purge of certain webpages and datasets related to sensitive topics
like gender and diversity, effectively limiting public access to
federally funded research information; this action has been criticized
by scientists and public health leaders as potentially hindering
research progress and transparency.

Maybe a pinch on the paranoid side...there are lots of people speaking
out about the T-Borg's EOs/etc.

It would be futile for the "powers that be" to whip the dissenters.
With time, the Christians will oppose the T-Borg.

On another note, the Democrats could stall the budget process to
affect T-Borg's plans.....T-Borg might have to submit to them. =======================

Pope rebukes Trump administration over migrant deportations, and
appears to take direct aim at Vance

Pope Francis issued a major rebuke Tuesday to the Trump
administration's plans for mass deportations of migrants, warning that
the forceful removal of people purely because of their illegal status
deprives them of their inherent dignity and "will end badly."

Francis took the remarkable step of addressing the U.S. migrant
crackdown in a letter to U.S. bishops in which he appeared to take
direct aim at Vice President JD Vance's defense of the deportation
program on theological grounds.

Hahaha, the pope should perhaps just shut up and accept the migrants
moving to the vatican! =D Somehow I doubt he'll sell some of the vaticans treasuers or will use the billions and billions to pay for them. Yet he is christ on earth? Oh, such a hypocrite like all socialists!

I see what you did there...

Borg and futile in the same paragraph. I like it.

You would have got bonus points if you could have squeezed

Then maybe it's best for him to say nothing at all and focus on the
immaterial instead of the material he knows nothing about. =D
