Summary

The Trump administration abruptly fired multiple National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) employees, then struggled to reinstate some due to a lack of updated contact information.

The NNSA, which oversees the U.S. nuclear stockpile, asked remaining employees to relay the message.

The terminations, part of mass federal layoffs orchestrated by Trump and Elon Musk, coincided with a Russian drone strike on Chernobyl, raising security concerns.

    i think you might be expecting more than what is there. it doesn’t take intelligence, competence, morals, or any of the other things that you’d need for 99.999% of jobs in order to start a cult. in fact you need the opposite of all those things. people love trump for the same reason they love jerry springer and bullshit reality tv-- shouting, conflict, controversy, idiocy-- the proles can’t fucking get enough, and when you blame their shitty lives on the things they already hate because they’re fucking ignorant, well you pretty much own them now
