[E. Pluribus Unum]

The DEI "experts" are revolting!

[iamgalt]

Winning

[sten]

These ‘experts’ are ‘fleeing’ before their incompetence is discovered

[MinorityRepublican]

They refuse to serve the interests of the American people when Trump got elected during his first term.

So they shouldn't be surprised to be losing their jobs.

[Waverunner]

Oddly enough, it's older whites who are leaving.
Usually with a "wooo hooo" as they exit the building.

[jmaroneps37]

Expert grifters.

[DallasBiff]

The DC liberal beltway bubble has burst?

[cuban leaf]

Yep. They forgot to put “experts” in quotes.🤣

[oldplayer]

The leftist Washington Post says this like it’s a bad thing. The Post is wrong (or lying) AGAIN.

[null and void]

I suspect the real, hard working, honest experts aren’t fleeing.

[PGR88]

The progressive fraud of “government experts.”

[ridesthemiles]

“EXPERTS” ??? MY BEHIND.

THEY ARE :”SELF APPOINTED” EXPERTS.

NOT WORTH A SLICE OF STALE BREAD

[capydick]

Right - the same experts who gave us two weeks to flatten the curve, six feet distancing, Covid was a lab leak, the labor statistics during the biden administration,the trillions spent during the same administration, those who developed and carried out illegal DEI policies - those experts?

Cry me a river....

[ridesthemiles]

THE EXPERTS AT THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT WERE SENDING OUT CHECKS THAT HAD NO CODING AS TO WHAT THEY WERE PAYING FOR:

PROGRAMS THAT WERE VOTED FOR 20 +++YEARS AGO & HAD RUN OUT THEIR FUNCTIION WERE STILL GETTING CHECKS.

I DO NOT CALL THAT “EXPERTS”.

IF I HAVE paid the last payment on my mortgage-—I STOP SENDING CHECKS,

[volare737]

Any so-called experts since the Obama/Biden days, are only in those positions because of Affirmative Action or DEI.

GOOD RIDDANCE!

[goodnesswins]

The “experts” that promoted the decline of American’s health? Those “experts?”

[SmokingJoe]

“Trump’s actions are pushing thousands of experts to flee government”

Thank God for that!

[ridesthemiles]

THOSE EXPERTS:

IF THEY TOOK THE BUYOUT: TO leave & COLLECT PAY UNTIL SEPT 30-—— THEY ARE STILL TECHNICALLY EMPLOYED.

MUSK HAS FOUND OVER 100,000 OF THESE “EXPERT EMPLOYEES” also FILED FOR UNEMPLOYMENT.

THAT IS OUTRIGHT FRAUD.

MAYBE FRAUD IS WHAT THEY ARE “EXPERT” AT.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

Not a problem at all! I’ve personally known many “experts” over the years who were absolute IDIOTS concerning practically EVERYTHING outside of their chosen profession.

[Delta 21]

Dont forget all those assholes working on Weaponizing Viruses and Gain of Function Research type things. Those are the weak links in society.
