Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius - You are a garbage human, Doll.
DR earned that posting by doing more real journalism in one year than most members of the establishment media do in a career.
And the fact that she is deaf has not a damned thing to do about it.  
That’s typical though.  You DEI mongers can’t even envision a competent minority person earning what they have.  That’s because you are all bigots.

The Trump administration doesn't mind using DEI to elevate incompetent people so long as the "journalist" spreading conspiratorial nonsense is on their side politically. 
Incredibly competent journalists should be rewarded for their competence, not the favor they show the government.

DatadiggX @DatadiggX - Calling accomplished @DataRepublican “incompetent” for earning her spot as the first Deaf journalist in the Pentagon press corps is vile, jealous garbage.  
She’s a brilliant engineer with patents, real skills, and zero DEI crutches, actually delivering numbers and accountability while working with DOGE.  
You? A fake Republican shilling for Braver Angels, that faux “bipartisan” outfit funded 60% by left-wing foundations that cosplays as conservative while platforming progressive cope and socialist-adjacent nonsense. Your “depolarization” is just leftists demanding conservatives shut up and compromise toward their side.  
Your seething attack on a competent woman succeeding on merit exposes exactly who the real incompetent fraud is here.  
Sit down, collect your progressive check, and stop pretending you’re on the right. WE SEE YOU! Pathetic.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican -  See, you do have faith. Faith isn't a feeling or having zero doubt. Faith is a state of being. You are a man of Christ.
