  1. So when we do spring cleaning, my wife takes a room and I take a room.  After a day, I've thrown away two things and read a bunch of old books and looked at old stuff and plugged in stuff I'll never use again.  She's basically taken a truckload of shit to the good will and half priced books, and will invariably include a few things I wish she hadn't, but then I'll forget about them in 24 hours.  She cleans the government like MAGA and I clean like sleepy Joe.

    The question is whether after the gutting we will ever be able to "Build Back Better".

    I'm an employment lawyer, and I want to stress, in my opinion, solely based on my personal experience, the OFCCP is the most useless government agency I've ever dealt with.  It's hard to imagine that they could not be - could have been more -- efficient or that we could craft legislation that achieves some of the same goals more efficiently and in fact, better. (Or in fact focus on attention on persons hiring economically disadvantaged without regard to protected classification).)

    I think the answer that most of you will gravitate to is - no, we may not ever have a chance to build back better.  I probably still am the more optimistic school, but I'm not really sure why.

    Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing – The White House

    It is being reported that President Trump has rescinded Executive Order 11,246, which has long required “affirmative action” programs for companies doing contract work with the federal government.

    What would things have looked like if an incoming president and his cronies hadn’t promised retribution and reprisals?

    No shit.  A felonious President who just gave carte blanche to any goon who wants to assault, Brown Shirt style, any political rival or government official who stands in their way.

    It's been pretty good. I think I prefer the rotunda/indoors than the traditional outdoors. I can follow it better and it looks really stately. They should do this moving forward. Probably better for security as well.

    I bet the pome isn't as good.  I loved this and it bears repeating.

    I'm happy to be at work today and not even slightly tempted to watch over the internet. I figure that I can read the lowlights later tonight. I'm more interested in reading the exec actions tonight.

    I turned on the TV and I do like Melania's hat.  Unlike this whiney woke Dem yellow dawg.

    Plus, day 1 is almost over.  

    (I can't imagine any of my posts over the next -- well, the rest of my life -- being more substantive than this.)

    It’s insane that this comically unqualified Fox weekend host was nominated in the first place 

    What's insane is how some people think that how an agency is run matters at all to any of these folks.  

    These guys are there to fuck shit up and progress will be measured by the percentage depopulatioin of the agency (at least in DC) they can achieve.

    Four conservative justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr., Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh — indicated that they would have granted Trump’s request. 

    I hope these mofos have prostates as big as mine.
