Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say

Oops! I wonder how many of the nuclear staff will go back now?

[MNJohnnie]

BS. That the agency overseeing anything has nothing to do with probationary employees being fired. If these critical jobs are being done by noobs instead of experience long term employees, this agency needs to be shut down and all it’s functions rolled into DOD>

More make believe by the habitual liars at CNN

[logi_cal869]

Fitting of a troll.

[ClearCase_guy]

CNN spreads disinformation, unverified claims made without evidence.

[Timber Rattler]

Think so? Then why the panic at DOE and in Congress yesterday among GOP senators on the Energy Committee?

[Bikkuri]

Timbermucus strike again........................

“less than 50 people”

49? 1? How many 1,000s work there?

I think everyone should be concerned that employees of the Energy Department are in control of nuclear weapons.

[ConservativeMind]

This is stupid talk. The people let go were there less than two years.

Go gripe about Trump elsewhere.

“More make believe by the habitual liars at CNN”

Yeah, CNN quoting THE HILL!

MUST be true. /s

[Timber Rattler]

I think everyone should be concerned that employees of the Energy Department are in control of nuclear weapons.

They always have been, since the old Atomic Energy Commission, the idea being that nuclear weapons and technology should always be under civilian control.

You know, Oppenheimer, Teller, Strauss, etc.?

I’m glad you post here.

It reminds us there really are some people out there who are stoopid enough to believe the garbage the MSM feeds them.

[ConservativeMind]

I continue to be impressed at how someone with a brain like yours can even post.

Kudos to you!

[Timber Rattler]

The people let go were there less than two years.

Nope, that was a lie. These are engineers, technicians, and field supervisors at nuke sites and labs.

Go back to where? From where?

Bro if you start believing everything that is printed in the next month or two, I’ve got two bridges in Brooklyn that are going for a good price and one on staten island :)

[Timber Rattler]

Uh, Capitol Hill. Not the news site.

[McCarthysGhost]

I think because one of Trump’s appointees is claimed to be OK with Iran being a nuclear power.

[ConservativeMind]

You are lying, Timber. That article does not support your assertion.

[FreedomPoster]

BAM!

If this was the quality of the hires in the last 2 years, THEY MUST ALL GO!
