The Maga Movement is just as racist as ever.

Below is our MAGA men's basketball team based on merit first. We celebrate greatness based on natural selection, instead of based on unnatural and shallow superficial selection.

This must be one of the "black jobs" that migrants haven't taken.

The USA is not MAGA. MAGA is a minority of citizens whose character and fairness is questionable. Looking at this comment, how it's framed as if this team is owned by MAGA, as if natural selection is how talent is recognized, shows shades of racism. Slavery was justified because whites saw themselves as superior, and in essence were selected as superior. So apparently the greatness of the USA men's basketball team is naturally selected of black athletes. Why else post this picture but to illustrate how one MAGA exploits the race of the players to imply they aren't racist. Would a MAGA support black workers if they weren't champions, and didn't provide some national pride?

"... Great again" means great for white pseudo-Christian men again. Because that's who America was great for in the past.

It was really only great for wealthy white pseudo-Christian men, but the MAGAs ignore that side of reality. They presume that in the new "whiteyville" version of America they will all be wealthy.
This is a tortured inference.
I don't doubt that Magas tend towards racism.
(And Democrats have their own problem with racism too.)

No, America is great because of diversity.

"We draw our people, our strength, from every country and every corner of the world." - Ronald Reagan
Yes, it is great when diverse people work hard and are competent at their jobs. It is not great when people get a job because they fit a diversity quota instead of being competent.

Do you know that the US secret service has different fitness standards for male and females? Why? Shouldn't there be a standard that everyone has to meet to be an agent? The Navy SEALS have one standard and anyone can apply for the program. I think to date one woman has made it through the program. A standard should be set at anything that people must meet to do any job. Diversity should be no part of it. If a program is not diverse then we need to get to the reason why and fix that problem, not fix it by promoting people to make it look diverse.

Is that happening in this case? What evidence exists that the security was compromised because of diversity in the Secret Service?

But not for applicants. So, it's not a matter of preselection:

"The APAT is a pre-employment physical fitness test developed to evaluate an applicant’s ability to perform the physical tasks required on the job by measuring muscular and dynamic strength, endurance, flexibility, aerobic capacity and other factors related to physical aptitude. The APAT is scored on a point-based system. Each test component is scored on a scale from 0 to 8 points. An applicant must achieve a minimum cumulative score of 20 points with no zeros to pass the APAT. APAT standards are not specific to age and/or gender identity."


The fitness standards are only slightly different and also based on age:

What is it about the slightly different fitness standards in the Secret Service that would prevent someone from doing the job? Do the lowered fitness standards for females and age suggest those fitness standards prevent them from performing their required duties?

Well that's just stupid to get all snarky over a
simple request for a readable form.
I plan to read while listening to something else
in the background, hence my request.

BTW....
Trump is "defying death" by having a tiny wound to his ear.
What a trooper!
How many tiny non-death defying wounds are made by a bullet?

Depends. If someone isn't bed ridden, it's probably not that serious - physically

Mentally? If someone tried to take a shot at me it'd rattle my psyche for sure. It'll be interesting to see how Trump handles this in the future

The guy who is afraid of germs is probably also afraid of bullets.
