    Indeed.
    There are reasons why the government employees fired are having a very difficult time finding the same scale of compensation for the same level
    of work that they performed in their government job.
    And it's not because they make high performing employees.

    Ribbons' on the peoples' payroll.

    Indeed.

    Isn't the appointment of Pulte himself
    a "participation ribbon" for helping Trump
    politically since he has zero training or
    experieence with his job?

    The evidence suggests he's doing the job for which he was selected.

    God help us.

    Fat man is dismantling our Intel infrastructure.

    Nope. He's getting rid of the career do-nothing shit stains in the
    intel toilet bowls. Those are the careerists standing in the way of
    America pulling itself back up and reducing expenditures. They have
    also been stabbing this country in the back while kissing ass and
    funneling dark money to European and Asian counterparts.

    What did we get we get in return?

    0, nothing.

    Trump's tax cut cost more than our entire intel apparatus across the
    globe.

    Cutting intel staff isn't going to balance the budget.

    President Donald Trump’s new acting director

    purging staff members at the office Monday.

    A separate source with knowledge of the matter
    told NBC News over the weekend that Pulte had
    ordered staff members to identify 400 employees
    to be fired from the National Counterterrorism
    Center, which is part of the U.S. intelligence
    community, in the coming weeks. The Democrats
    noted the office had already undergone a substantial
    downsizing in 2025, as the Trump administration
    carried out widespread layoffs across the federal
    workforce.

    Every person being fired by Pulte has

    HE is the "participation ribbon" in

    Top intelligence agency begins mass firings
    under new Trump appointee, source says
    June 22, 2026

    President Donald Trump’s new acting director
    of national intelligence, Bill Pulte, began
    purging staff members at the office Monday.

    A separate source with knowledge of the matter
    told NBC News over the weekend that Pulte had
    ordered staff members to identify 400 employees
    to be fired from the National Counterterrorism
    Center, which is part of the U.S. intelligence
    community, in the coming weeks. The Democrats
    noted the office had already undergone a substantial
    downsizing in 2025, as the Trump administration
    carried out widespread layoffs across the federal
    workforce.

    Indeed.

    Isn't the appointment of Pulte himself
    a "participation ribbon" for helping Trump
    politically since he has zero training or

    The evidence suggests he's doing the job for which he was selected.

    Every person being fired by Pulte has
    by definition more experience with the job
    than he does.

    "Pulte has been asking deputies and other directors for suggestions

    said that the 51 was enough for now, one of the sources said.

    Then Trump should have appointed one

    'Participation Ribbons' on the peoples' payroll.

    Indeed.

    Isn't the appointment of Pulte himself
    a "participation ribbon" for helping Trump
    politically since he has zero training or
    experieence with his job?

    The evidence suggests he's doing the job for which he was
    selected.

    Every person being fired by Pulte has
    by definition more experience with the job
    than he does.

    "Pulte has been asking deputies and other directors for suggestions
    about cuts. Some of the ODNI deputies pushed for more cuts, but
    Pulte said that the 51 was enough for now, one of the sources said.

    Then Trump should have appointed one
    of those "deputies and directors" who know
    the job better than Pulte.

    The evidence suggests he's doing the job for which he was selected.

    The evidence proves he has NO training
    or eperience in this job.

    Then you don't understand the job for which he was selected.

    And you lied.

    Top intelligence agency begins mass firings

    June 22, 2026

    President Donald Trump’s new acting director
    of national intelligence, Bill Pulte, began
    purging staff members at the office Monday.

    A separate source with knowledge of the matter
    told NBC News over the weekend that Pulte had
    ordered staff members to identify 400 employees
    to be fired from the National Counterterrorism
    Center, which is part of the U.S. intelligence
    community, in the coming weeks. The Democrats
    noted the office had already undergone a substantial >>>>>>>>>>>>>> downsizing in 2025, as the Trump administration

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/odni >>>>>>>>>>>>>> -begins-

    So you ADMIT that "firing all the counter-terrorism

    "....to identify 400 employees to be fired from
    the National Counterterrorism Center"

    "... to be fired ...." Future tense.

    Why is ANY counterterrism worker

    From your cite:

    "The president argued in a new interview that
    many workers in the Office of Director of National
    Intelligence "shouldn’t be there."


    Huh?

    How would Trump - much less newbie Pulte -
    know ANYTHING about the staffing of US
    intelligence agencies?

    Is the country too safe? Are there not
    enough terror attacks? Should we just
    fire people until there IS an security
    lapse and terrorists get thru?

    So you ADMIT that "firing all the counter-terrorism >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> experts" was a lie.

    "....to identify 400 employees to be fired from
    the National Counterterrorism Center"

    "... to be fired ...." Future tense.

    Why is ANY counterterrism worker
    "to be fired"? Does that improve US
    security somehow?

    Not every employee is an asset. There should be no
    'Participation Ribbons' on the peoples' payroll.

    Indeed.

    Isn't the appointment of Pulte himself
    a "participation ribbon" for helping Trump
    politically since he has zero training or
    experieence with his job?

    The evidence suggests he's doing the job for which he was
    selected.

    Every person being fired by Pulte has
    by definition more experience with the job
    than he does.

    "Pulte has been asking deputies and other directors for
    suggestions about cuts. Some of the ODNI deputies pushed for

    Then Trump should have appointed one

    The evidence proves he has NO training

    Obviously hollow has no clue how large corporations work and the government
    is somewhat like a large corporation.

    Do you think the CEO of Ford knows how to design an ignition system
    for Ford cars?
    Do you think he knows every part that goes into an f150?

    Of course not.

    He reaches out to the experts who DO KNOW.

    Pulte, while not my choice, is asking his team where the waste is and
    they are advising him.
    That's how business works in the real world.

    The evidence suggests he's doing the job for which he was

    The evidence proves he has NO training

    His boss said he told him.

    https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-urges-new-acting-intelligence

    From your cite:

    "The president argued in a new interview that
    many workers in the Office of Director of National
    Intelligence "shouldn’t be there."

    Huh?

    How would Trump - much less newbie Pulte -

    "Pulte has been asking deputies and other directors for suggestions

    And you lied.



    [crickets]

    Obviously hollow has no clue how large corporations work and the
    government is somewhat like a large corporation.

    Do you think the CEO of Ford knows how to design an ignition system
    for Ford cars?


    Name for us any corporation whose CEO knows
    nothing about the business and who is totally
    dependent on "advice" to do his job.


    Do you think he knows every part that goes into an f150?

    Of course not.

    He reaches out to the experts who DO KNOW.

    Pulte, while not my choice, is asking his team where the waste is and
    they are advising him.
    That's how business works in the real world.


    National Intelligence work is not a "business",
    it should not be run on business models.

    Remember how Bush appointed college professor
    Condi Rice as National Security Advisor? Remember
    how she got caught totally off guard by 9/11? This
    is not a place for people to "learn on the job".

    Why is ANY counterterrism worker

    Indeed.

    Isn't the appointment of Pulte himself

    Every person being fired by Pulte has

    Then Trump should have appointed one

    The evidence suggests he's doing the job for which he was

    The evidence proves he has NO training
    or eperience in this job.

    Then you don't understand the job for which he was selected.

    Show us what HE "understands the job
    for which he was selected".

    His boss said he told him.

    https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-urges-new-acting-intelligence >>>> -director-to-clean-house-6043821

    From your cite:

    "The president argued in a new interview that
    many workers in the Office of Director of National
    Intelligence "shouldn?t be there."

    Huh?

    How would Trump - much less newbie Pulte -
    know ANYTHING about the staffing of US
    intelligence agencies?

    "Pulte has been asking deputies and other directors for suggestions
    about cuts. Some of the ODNI deputies pushed for more cuts, but Pulte
    said that the 51 was enough for now, one of the sources said...."

    And you lied.



    [crickets]

    Obviously hollow has no clue how large corporations work and the
    government is somewhat like a large corporation.

    Do you think the CEO of Ford knows how to design an ignition system
    for Ford cars?


    Name for us any corporation whose CEO knows
    nothing about the business and who is totally
    dependent on "advice" to do his job.


    Do you think he knows every part that goes into an f150?

    Of course not.

    He reaches out to the experts who DO KNOW.

    Pulte, while not my choice, is asking his team where the waste is and
    they are advising him.
    That's how business works in the real world.


    National Intelligence work is not a "business",
    it should not be run on business models.

    Remember how Bush appointed college professor
    Condi Rice as National Security Advisor? Remember
    how she got caught totally off guard by 9/11? This
    is not a place for people to "learn on the job".

    No wonder you have to lie about owning a Tesla.

    Mitchie doesn't know what the position of National Security Advisor is. He must
    think it's something like FBI Director.


    Indeed.
    He's also sealioning again.

    Hollowhead doesn't get out much and doesn't have a life. He spends his
    time scanning through leftist news media and leftist blogs looking for anything that he twist into reasons that conservatives and Trump are
    to blame for his miserable life.

    He will ignore this because it hit him right at home.

    "....to identify 400 employees to be fired from >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the National Counterterrorism Center"

    "... to be fired ...." Future tense.

    Why is ANY counterterrism worker
    "to be fired"? Does that improve US
    security somehow?

    Not every employee is an asset. There should be no >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 'Participation Ribbons' on the peoples' payroll.

    Indeed.

    Isn't the appointment of Pulte himself
    a "participation ribbon" for helping Trump
    politically since he has zero training or
    experieence with his job?

    The evidence suggests he's doing the job for which he was >>>>>>>>>>>>> selected.

    Every person being fired by Pulte has
    by definition more experience with the job
    than he does.

    "Pulte has been asking deputies and other directors for
    suggestions about cuts. Some of the ODNI deputies pushed for >>>>>>>>>>> more cuts, but Pulte said that the 51 was enough for now, >>>>>>>>>>> one of the sources said.

    Then Trump should have appointed one
    of those "deputies and directors" who know
    the job better than Pulte.

    The evidence suggests he's doing the job for which he was
    selected.

    The evidence proves he has NO training
    or eperience in this job.

    Then you don't understand the job for which he was selected.

    Show us what HE "understands the job
    for which he was selected".

    His boss said he told him.

    From your cite:

    "The president argued in a new interview that
    many workers in the Office of Director of National
    Intelligence "shouldn’t be there."

    Huh?

    How would Trump - much less newbie Pulte -
    know ANYTHING about the staffing of US
    intelligence agencies?

    "Pulte has been asking deputies and other directors for suggestions
    about cuts. Some of the ODNI deputies pushed for more cuts, but
    Pulte said that the 51 was enough for now, one of the sources
    said...."

    So clueless newbie Pulte depends on
    career staffers for advice.

    Why didn't Trump appoint one of THEM
    instead?

    POTUS doesn't ask for my advice. Why don't you call the White House
    and ask him?


    If you cannot defend this critical appointment
    of a clueless newbie just say so, we will understand.

    "....to identify 400 employees to be fired from >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the National Counterterrorism Center"

    "... to be fired ...." Future tense.

    Why is ANY counterterrism worker
    "to be fired"? Does that improve US
    security somehow?

    Not every employee is an asset. There should be no >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 'Participation Ribbons' on the peoples' payroll.

    Indeed.

    Isn't the appointment of Pulte himself
    a "participation ribbon" for helping Trump
    politically since he has zero training or
    experieence with his job?

    The evidence suggests he's doing the job for which he >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> was selected.

    Every person being fired by Pulte has
    by definition more experience with the job
    than he does.

    "Pulte has been asking deputies and other directors for >>>>>>>>>>>>> suggestions about cuts. Some of the ODNI deputies pushed >>>>>>>>>>>>> for more cuts, but Pulte said that the 51 was enough for >>>>>>>>>>>>> now, one of the sources said.

    Then Trump should have appointed one

    the job better than Pulte.

    The evidence suggests he's doing the job for which he was >>>>>>>>>>> selected.

    The evidence proves he has NO training
    or eperience in this job.

    Then you don't understand the job for which he was selected.

    Show us what HE "understands the job
    for which he was selected".

    His boss said he told him.

    https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-urges-new-acting-intellige >>>>>>> nce-director-to-clean-house-6043821

    From your cite:

    "The president argued in a new interview that
    many workers in the Office of Director of National
    Intelligence "shouldn?t be there."

    Huh?

    How would Trump - much less newbie Pulte -
    know ANYTHING about the staffing of US
    intelligence agencies?

    "Pulte has been asking deputies and other directors for
    suggestions about cuts. Some of the ODNI deputies pushed for more
    cuts, but Pulte said that the 51 was enough for now, one of the
    sources said...."

    So clueless newbie Pulte depends on
    career staffers for advice.

    Why didn't Trump appoint one of THEM
    instead?

    POTUS doesn't ask for my advice. Why don't you call the White House
    and ask him?

    If you cannot defend this critical appointment
    of a clueless newbie just say so, we will understand.

    I don't need to; it's not my job. Fortunately, I already had--

    The evidence suggests he's doing the job for which he was selected.

    And while you have him on the phone, tell him you're a liar.


    "You're doing a heck of a job, Brownie"
    George Bush, praising clueless newbie at
    disaster relief chief Michael Brown, just
    before the full scale of Brown's ineperiance
    at the post came to light after Hurricane
    Katrina.

    You are so full of hate.

    "....to identify 400 employees to be fired from >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the National Counterterrorism Center"

    "... to be fired ...." Future tense.

    Why is ANY counterterrism worker

    Indeed.

    Isn't the appointment of Pulte himself
    a "participation ribbon" for helping Trump
    politically since he has zero training or

    The evidence suggests he's doing the job for which he >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> was selected.

    Every person being fired by Pulte has

    "Pulte has been asking deputies and other directors for >>>>>>>>>>>>>> suggestions about cuts. Some of the ODNI deputies pushed >>>>>>>>>>>>>> for more cuts, but Pulte said that the 51 was enough for >>>>>>>>>>>>>> now, one of the sources said.

    The evidence suggests he's doing the job for which he was >>>>>>>>>>>> selected.

    The evidence proves he has NO training

    Then you don't understand the job for which he was selected.

    Show us what HE "understands the job

    His boss said he told him.

    https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-urges-new-acting-intelligence-director-to-clean-house-6043821

    From your cite:

    "The president argued in a new interview that
    many workers in the Office of Director of National
    Intelligence "shouldn’t be there."

    Huh?

    How would Trump - much less newbie Pulte -
    know ANYTHING about the staffing of US
    intelligence agencies?

    "Pulte has been asking deputies and other directors for
    suggestions about cuts. Some of the ODNI deputies pushed for more
    cuts, but Pulte said that the 51 was enough for now, one of the
    sources said...."

    So clueless newbie Pulte depends on
    career staffers for advice.

    Why didn't Trump appoint one of THEM
    instead?

    POTUS doesn't ask for my advice. Why don't you call the White House
    and ask him?

    If you cannot defend this critical appointment
    of a clueless newbie just say so, we will understand.

    I don't need to; it's not my job. Fortunately, I already had--

    The evidence suggests he's doing the job for which he was selected.

    And while you have him on the phone, tell him you're a liar.

    "You're doing a heck of a job, Brownie"
    George Bush, praising clueless newbie at
    disaster relief chief Michael Brown, just
    before the full scale of Brown's ineperiance
    at the post came to light after Hurricane
    Katrina.

    Try to focus, Mitchie. It's 2026.
