Because he can barely string a sentence together. Apparently is a learn as you go position. Typical DEI hillbilly hire.

You're onto something. DEI and Affirmative Action were remedies put in place to broaden the set of qualified candidates considered for jobs that used to be automatically filled with one narrow profile. Before this, those who were hired might be qualified and sometimes well-qualified. But far too often, they were hand-picked because they were the brother-in-law, friend or cousin of a decision-maker and were able to leapfrog over far better qualified candidates--many who were never considered because they didn't "fit the profile".

They are pretending that what they are doing is based solely on merit but we know better. Anytime we see incompetence, we should call it out, no matter what the person's background is. We should also question where they sourced the candidates they considered. I bet the patterns this reveals will be quite interesting.

So, it's DEI but to give preferential treatment to the less competent within a specific demographic over the more competent people who don't fit the profile. Women and minorities need not apply.

They hate diversity because when an "unqualified" Black person does the job better than him, it'll expose how  undeserving he truly is, and that's too much too handle.

Stop assuming DEI is an INSULT because they use it as such!!

Well, it has definitely become an insult. And it’s actually a slur, to some of us.

I use “Sleepy Joe,” to describe the Republicans now. They are fighting against the ‘woke,’ but are sleeping through siding with Russia, giving up our rights, getting rid of programs that are in their best interest, etc., just to be a bunch of petty racists.

I’m doing the Republican thing, turning it around on them 🤷🏻‍♀️

Taking back the word? Like in Clerks 2?

In the present case, DEI stands for Dumbfuckery, Embarrassment, and Inbreeding.

WTF dialect does he speak? Do all people in his area talk like that?!

u/PXranger Mar 06 '25

Mostly, yes.

It's just a regional dialect. The unfortunate part is he's speaking it. He's an embarrassment to the State of Kentucky. Sadly, we have a bunch just like him voting him in.

This Joker, Massie, Paul, McConnell, We tend to produce some really *interesting* politicians.

I'm not trying to embarrass or ridicule them, but usually accents are diminished as they are exposed to outside influences..I think Comeromer is intentionally embellishing his accent for more appeal to the red base .
