Summary
The Trump administration is set to fire hundreds of senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees this week, targeting those seen as obstacles to its policies.
The firings follow broader workforce reductions that began Friday night, affecting FEMA, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
High-ranking career officials, including Senior Executive Service and GS-15 employees, are expected to be removed.
One of the things I’ve learned is that folks struggle with satire that is ironic or bitter rather than outright foolish. It’s like there’s a blind spot for ironic double speak.
It’s about 60/40 on whether someone is going to come along, miss the subtext, and lead a charge against your tone without actually giving your words a second thought or whether someone is going to offer support for or explain your statement.
Once that first response casts the die, you’re just along for the ride. No one else can see any perspective but that first interpretation.
A+, though. I see you.
Funny and sardonic.
Lol thanks homie. I refuse to add an /s or highlight that it’s a joke because that’s just comedy suicide.
Good looking out.
