I brushed off the "DEI hire" stuff as typical rhetoric but this is the first time I feel that it may be justified. My brain went to, "well, we all make mistakes in academia and grow up in the industry" at first. Then I realized these papers are from 11 years ago, and she's no spring chicken.

It's funny, because people don't level the same accusations against white people, or can't, by definition.
Any use of 'DEI hire' is racist, because it assumes incompetence by default for one group but not for another.

Yeah, you're right. I won't level that accusation, but I will rephrase to say "I did not believe the accusations of incompetence and now I do"

The whole DEI/incompetence accusation is pretty rich if you look at the people Trump has appointed? From Twitter influencers to Fox News hosts - it's the most unqualified cabinet in American history.

Who else is incompetent based on this metric?

I don't know, I have a pretty pale view of politicians in general. Probably 90% of them? Hackernews treating me like I'm a MAGA #1 fan because I judged someone disliked by the right is a good reminder to stay out of political discussions online

Under that criteria perhaps Trump should (also) fire Hegseth, Patel, etc.

Bravo. I can see now that I was correct in every respect.

The tribal, hyper aggressive rhetoric makes it hard to have a good faith conversation sadly. You "slam dunked" me bro, you win! Go team left wing! I'm in shambles

"Trump says that she committed mortgage fraud.."
That's rich...

Fraud recognizes fraud?

Fraud removing fraud from office because of fraud might ought to think twice...

> But even the Court specifically carved out protections for Fed governors, saying that they can only be removed “for cause.”
And soon we will find out if this was a warning or a recommendation.
