I can smell the @oldspice.bsky.social from here

its like trying to make a good gumbo, but you only want to use chicken stock ...... It takes a blend of amazing ingredients to make a real GREAT gumbo .....

That's mighty white of them...

What ur seeing is tRump klan once he’s in office he’ll give us the 2 words that start with the letter k… FACTS…

Variety is the spice of life. And I even have to admit all white is very bland especially like that then it's not one single woman even?

That's why I love learning american history, because all those European mutts born here would have been denied a job back in the 20s-60s but most of them forgot their ancestors version of DEI. 🤣😂

They all look like they could be family, cousins all gathered for the family reunion where they decide Polio and things like slavery are cool again.

Well when you see the elected house representatives, the committees selection is not a surprise. The problem is that political parties back up mostly white old men with 💰: They get elected and perpetuate that system, not representing the American population diversity. abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

Because we live in an Oligarchy masquerading as a Republic

The mask is off. The hood is on.

"🎶I'm dreaming of a white oligarchy 🎶"

I fucking hate entitled white men.

It's in fashion to hate white people now.

Shut up and make me a sandwich.

Down with the patriarchy!!!

Strange they would show a time lapse photo of these three guys

Bunch of old white ass men

DEI also covers disabled veterans. The GOP claims to love us but they use every opportunity to undermine our benefits. The current nominee for SecDef, the Nazi Pete Hegseth, is also a combat veteran like me. He said vets who use their benefits are "entitled."

They are entitled. The legal definition of the word means having a legal right to something.

Correct l, but as we all know, that is not what Nazi Pete meant. If they gut the VA, they will have a million or more really pissed off vets in DC from both sides of the aisle.

Sounds about white

Haha! Great comeblack

No Women, no people of color. I guess they will be able to start wearing their hoods and robes openly after the inauguration.

White hoods have been replaced by red hats.

They change their hoods for red hat, thinking we wouldn’t notice who they are

No, with Donald Trump, they don’t have to wear the hood anymore. They’re out in the open.

Looks allwhite to me. 👍🏻

🤬

Those men will all sit there thinking they are the best at the job. Not once will it enter their tiny brains that they only got the job because of their gender and race.

Or that they owe their very existence to a woman

This is Trump's White House. Who knew? Only the millions of people who didn't vote for him, and most of the rest of the world who can't believe he's back.

And there I thought the USA was a progressive nation. Just goes to show: never make assumptions.

I have no idea where you thought we were progressive nation. We are a nation of white Christian nationalists that love oligarchs. America has a cancer and I'm not sure we're going to make it.

but they don't "believe" in gender

And their sharp suits and haircuts and commanding demeanor. That's leadership, right there.

Someone is dreaming of a white Christmas.

Surprise, surprise - it's the same old shitty faces

👍🏾👍🏿👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽

That big tent can sure hold a lot of old white men.

We're in DEEP SHIT!

Oh, cmon. You have older white men and younger white men and white men with hair and white men who are bald. What more diversity do you need?

😂👏

White men with qualifications.

Don't forget that hideous toupee

It would be nice to have some white men with balls. A bit of wisdom and compassion would be nice too.

Mayo on white bread as far as the eye can see.

Honestly, is anyone shocked by this?

But hey black men voted for Trump. SMDH

And look at the results. Not one minority member was chosen for chairmanship. So much for the tap dancing, buck dancing, cat walking, and cheesing all for naught.

And so did Spanish men & Spanish women. Of course white men & yet white women tore up the pavement voting for the felon....

Latinas went for Kamala. Latinos, well sadly, a different story.

No, you don’t understand, these people DEFINITELY earned their roles, they weren’t just arbitrarily given these positions to fulfill some vague agenda…oh wait

The existing system enabled Republicans to choose and they chose this. Let’s not pretend Democrats would have done the same.

The old white guys are in charge again and will no doubt F it all up AGAIN

We will not go back.

Let's name this photo "Absence of Valor". 🤮

100%!!

Expected 🤷🏻‍♀️

Exactly!

You have to try REALLY hard to be this exclusively White & male.

*instinctively covers drink*

School shooter's dream-jury (and alternates). 🙁

Exactly 👍😡

I'm 100% for DEI, and totally against UPE (Uniformity, Prejudice, Exclusion), just like I'm 100% for being woke, and totally against ignorance.

Not one worth a grain of salt!

Look like spot the differences game… Found 2 wig and 3 hair implant, but not too much differences 🤔

Yeah the ‘guess who’ game is going to be really difficult with that lot.

This is really the same thing, only it favors white males.

Why do women keep voting for these Old White guys that do nothing but make our lives harder? So Fed Up!

I didn’t

Me too, shame on us.

Women need to stand up for other Women no matter what✌️

That’s where we fail each other. Those white old geezers stick together and work to pit women against each other, rather than women standing up and supporting fellow women.

That's absolutely correct

I see this a lot "white old geezers" What is the age? Where do they live? Personally I believe it is where they live!!!

It’s really upsetting

Wow, is that the truth

I have known for years, but people never believed me. Eve had to take the blame for Adam eating the apple as well as her own blame. Most people in this country are taught that, whether they follow religion later in life or not. Always blame women, never men. There will never be a "hos before bros."

Isn't that the truth 😕

Yup

Yes. Easily 20-25% of girls/women have been well-groomed by the patriarchy and its oppressive messaging. Awful.

So what accounts for the 53% of white women that voted for the rapists who ended their right to an abortion?

I can’t account for stupidity. But if you ask me if I trust the numbers we’ve been offered by tRump/Musk’s accounting, I’d say no. They’re crooked to the bone. When they lose, it’s “stolen.” And when they “win,”we trust their numbers? I don’t.

It's from a couple of exit polls. CBS, and one other. 53% is sorta consistent with the numbers in 2020 when he lost.

It’s disgusting. I cannot understand any woman voting for him. It would be interesting to see the breakdown of older GenX I’m betting they mainly voted for him.

As did more younger white women than in 2020. His rapist past and ending of abortion didn’t hurt him one iota.

I cannot understand it

Women don't support women. And white women really don't support black women or their own self interests.

If 53% of white voted for 45, then presumably up to 47% didn't. So I would say they disagree more than not support. I don’t subscribe to them voting against their self interests because that would mean they're idiots or have no agency. Don’t think that's the case.

There are women warriors all over BlueSky. All is not lost. Connect with them! 💙

religion has s great deal to do with it… obey your husband … I truly believe religion was invented to oppress and repress women by men who understood way back in the beginning that women are far superior to men. So they invented religion where you show your faith by following the rules made by men

True, and also why so many women are leaving organize religion.

I always try to imagine and may one day stop being such a lazy ass and get up and write the story! Imagine if the Bible had been created and interpreted by women…

Notice how it was Eve's "fault" that Adam ate the apple too? She had to take the blame for both of them. I still don't believe Eve talked Adam into eating the apple. It's always men promising women nothing bad will happen, just let him do what he wants. Women have to take responsibility. Men don't.

Emuskulation is certainly trending in the prophetically named White House (can drones be used to drop paint?), so the fear of its more prolific twin is rampant with the appropriately hued snowflake regime represented by these spineless misogynists. They do not deserve our respect or compliance.

Do we keep voting for them? I don’t.

Well some must have, unless they cheated and threw out a lot of votes. I don’t really know any women who did vote for him, come to think of it. 🧐

Unfortunately, I knew of many women who would never change their minds and they voted for him twice, even after knowing what he was like.

I’m a woman I didn’t vote for them nor do any women I know. You aren’t referring to the majority of women in this country so-only those who support white supremacy, same as the men who support white supremacy. And BTW GOP women would vote the same as these men pictured here.

I’m sure it’s because they are obviously the best and smartest choice😜🥵🥵🥵😝

Same Assholes as the last one so nothing will be done to help the people again GREAT!

How mighty white of them

If only we would listen to nature. The healthiest and most productive garden is a diverse one

Absolutely!!!

Kills me when GOP lawmakers refer to DEI as if it was some communist plot. Diversity equality inclusion which of those concepts do they find an American fundraising campaign. Not that I favor the word, but the references to ““woke“ are simillar

Theocracies tend to do that.

GOP = UUE: Undiversified, Unequal and Exclusionary.

It is so sad that americans appear unable to understand the concept and process. The individual first demonstrates that they are qualified Then other factors are considered

Just like trying to explain this!🤯🤢

all of which keeps us fixated on their script, scandal by scandal, incompetence by incompetence, as if any of it matters. It doesn't, and this explains it...

All they know is white make privilege. They don’t know what the living in the world is like.

All white - all male. Typical Republican diversity, if it ain’t white, it ain’t right.

🎯

The patriarchy is gross.

GOP/MAGA DEI is amazing. A few of these white men are wearing blue ties in a sea of red. 😞

DEI because in 2024/25 we still need to force white men to play nice

as awful as this is.....they were voted in because of low turnout and increased shares of women/minority voters. No surprise these are Republican choices. They will do Proj 2025 while Trump does the Big Grift. I am worried about Hegseth, Gabbard, Patel and RFKjr. They are gonna get people killed.

That's a really bad toupee

If you let them tell you, it's good for the country. Sure, a of sycophants that are lining waiting to kiss the ring, with a smile. It's a shame, painful, and embarrassing

Looks like a meeting of AA Assholes Anonymous

Whiter than the gravy from Hardee’s.

The last one is black. A little square but still black.

It's nice to see such (non)-diversity. I wonder if they'll do anything for rich white guys?

There is something oddly the same about all of them. Can't qwhite put my finger on it.

Nothing weird here. Nope nothing weird at all.

we are doomed!

It looks just like tRUMP's former administration, so there's no surprise here. Older, straight, white, male (usually older). Loyal minions to the 'Don' of tRUMP's mafia structure. No talent, just loyalty.

"and we were blinded by the white, messed up by some stooges and some Nazis on the right, yeah, we were blinded by the white...."

They. All. Look. The. Exact. Same.

Well the diversity is that one guy has a green tie.

Oh! Wow there really is!

The Stepford Congressmen.

They are cousins

2 more years of Comer ... f**k.

As my dad used say, “The first up against the wall when the revolution comes.”

Oh yes, they all look ready to take control of our lives

What a great cross section of America...ffs 🙄 Keep fighting the good fight George

Hah - what we don't know is: half of them could identify themselves - in hiding - as anything but XYmales......

Bleak house

I bet it’s why Byron Donalds & Tim Scott now secretly support it too.

this is why i support term limits.

And they are the dumbest mf's in Congress.

yes! Jordan Cotton Gaetz Oconnol the list goes on

Agreed.

a bunch of old white men making decisions for people they know nothing of and care even less about.

Do you work at sounding that ignorant or does it come naturally. I Just watched a Black DA (Racist) In New York put a white man through a trial because he stopped a black man along with help from 2 other black men from hurting innocent people. So as per your thinking he should have closed his eyes.

It should mirror what America looks like! That would be representative!!!

Very wealthy white man who just can’t get enough at the expense of the middle class.

And most of them aren't very bright.

None of them are

That is the understatement of the century

And that's what lies at the heart of this. Non-DEI in government means white men making decisions to benefit white men and so it trickles down ...

Aww, bless their white-ass hearts.

Yes but George how will men rule the world if women keep getting their spots. Bet each of those men belong to some super church group that believes women are seen & not heard . Cause ya know : god was born from a RAPE VICTIM. Just saying

100%

A bunch of crusty old men.

How do we all not look at this and see that we've been shut out? Only straight, cis, white,males... 🔥

“CIS” is not necessary. Stop the insanity! It’s that 🐂💩 that cost the Democrats the election. “Straight & Males” is enough. 🤦‍♂️

I hear you, but no. After the bullshit Mace pulled the last month? The insanity over bathrooms? That should be a non-issue as it has for eons. As it is IN EVERY OTHER COUNTRY. What will be weird? Middle school boys finding Congresswomen in men's room b/c Mace wanted to be an ass.

Don’t give that clown a 2nd thought. Women’s restrooms all have stalls anyway. But, that doesn’t have anything to do with “CIS”. Which, was my only point. It’s just redundant to say. If you’re Male, straight, or gay? You’re male. End of story. There doesn’t need to be a sub category for separation.

Still! Thank you for the discourse!

Oh yuck…🥛and they’re not even Pasteurized!🥛 #GOPisaCriminalOrg #PutinOwnsTrump

Not sure that cult is a system, but point well taken.

The two current options: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion or Don, Eric, and Ivanka

I support DEI too

No Wonder.

VERY stale, VERY dry.

And crusty as fuck.

Lmao. 💯

And absolutely no (moral) fiber.

👏🏾👏🏾

Unseasoned AF too

Pass me the mint julep 🥃🥂

Pretty Lillie white also.

It's DEIA, actually. The Accessibility part is what has helped more veterans be employed than during any other presidency. Republicans only pretend to support the military.

It’s like they’re not even trying to hide the overt bigotry and misogyny. Dress them in brown with swastika armbands and the image is complete. SMH.

This should make people sick and want to create change...😟

More white male oppressive patriarchy.

I like the phrase 'pale stale male'.

It’s so gross and they don’t care.

Sounds about white

Wait. Shouldn’t they have the Russian flag by their side? Someone please photoshop it in.

Why are republican men so homely?

I’m sure the women for Trump, blacks for Trump, and Latinos for Trump are all very happy.

Surely DEI in it's worst case scenario is no worse than Donnie's picks since the 2024 election. A bunch of unqualified hacks and drunks.

Yep. When you start selecting for people without giving any regard to merit, you get unqualified picks. Be it based solely on ethnicity/race/gender, or on blind loyalty towards the one picking them, any deviance from true, genuine merit lowers standards.

However, I can also understand the left's perspective on DEI, especially if the current system actively undermines people of high merit solely on ethnicity/race/gender. Considering what #DiaperDon is going to do, I am starting to understand the left's perspective a lot more than I did before.

Yes the DEI complaints were base on a false premise that every job is usually filled by the best of the best when in reality many times it is who you know.

Given the image presented, I can perfectly understand why DEI is a thing. You would expect at least one black man in this image, but it is all white men. If a system will discriminate against minorities naturally, then DEI will balance out the bias of the system.

Can you explain why you believe that?

Geatz,Gabbard ,Hegseth, Kennedy ,Oz ,McMahon ,Huchabee ,Patel , etc

Yes, I know who those people are. My question, in case it wasn't clear, was about why you think a more diverse and inclusive cabinet would be "as bad". Can you explain?

Well I said in a worst case scenario of DEI and that is based on the general complaint from the right about it which is selecting a less than optimal person for the position just to satisfy a quota of sorts. So we are on the same page I think.

No, I don't think we are. Certainly that's how the right wants to depict diversity, equality and inclusion but that's absolutely not what it is. There are no quotas. It's about fairness and understanding how diverse experiences and viewpoints benefit an organisation.

I contend that most jobs are filled on a who you know basis so if true then why not consider DEI ? The opposition to DEI is in fact discrimination in it's impact.

This IS Overt Racism IN YOUR FACE!

That photo also excludes anyone with morals and ethics.

You're not wrong.

You really need to stop obsessing about abortion.

And intelligence… Some real brain-stem storming sessions ahead with those dinosaurs.

Love brain stem storming. Gotta use that in the future. It says so much.

Glad to help Val, I'm always happy to contribute - no matter whether it's ✨or 💩!! (And I'm sure I contribute liberal amounts of later as well as some gems !!).

💯

Head size seems to play a big role, as does height, but no one seems to care.

Looks like a sex offenders poster!

all white men of a certain age 😡

Blinded by the white! 😬

It's diverse! Some aren't wearing red ties...

The stench of plantation is all over this.

DEI or not, GOP is the party of patriarchic white supremacy.

Wonder how many have SA charges

Just a reminder that only 3 flipped seats will result in Dems controlling the House. There are already 3 special elections set for 2025 and there is on average 13 special elections for every 2 year Congressional class. If we want to see the faces of these committees change, it’s time to get to work.

Not much diversity there.

Is this from 1928?

trump screening the candidates:

Then how did Vivek get co-corrupt cretin of the corrupt doge?

Easy. He’s batshit crazy 🤪

Unpaid position in a powerless committee

Same for Elon as the other co cretin?

He’s a billionaire… transactional appointment. I’m sure he’s donating to the 🍊💩 library just like ABC network.

Well, one has white hair. One has a yellow tie and one has a blue tie. That's the Republican version of diversity.

That's a whole lot of mediocre white male.

I’m so exhausted of white power

Worthless white men who are only grifting for themselves under the guise of public service...of which they know nothing.

And I’m sure the GOP believes these guys are all deserving of their positions.

Jaysus. Every one of them middle aged whiter than white men. I could vomit.

And the cabinet picks are not even close to being qualified for their roles, so if anything it’s white rich guy DEI.

They are qualified! They are being picked on the basis of their loyalty to tRump & their willingness to destroy America in order to enrich themselves. For that, these grifters are eminently qualified.

I cannot express just how much I wish this wasn't true and how scary 2025 might be. We know what scares them though...People deciding to do something about their crimes against humanity. Luigi is now a name to be feared by the elite, and they are trying SO HARD to make us think they aren't afraid.

gee mtg, boebert, and mace werent picked?

BTW around 90% of Americans are not old white men.

Then why do they vote like them?

Because 99% of them are white billionaires and have convinced them to.

How?? I heard the same words and the only thing they've convinced me of is that Im going to spend time in warzones and foxholes.

What a lovely bunch of coconuts

Sedition personified

They need to stymie a few more

Those 17 republicans are the DEI hire.

Bad haircuts all

Saltines aren't bad, per se. But they need something with flavor to make them worth eating, and if they're off brand, as these appear to be, I'd just as soon eat paste.

Funny how those who attack DEI never talk about how children of Ivy league alums get special favors.

Dei Diversity

GOP DEI: Deplorables, Elites, In-Laws

That's brilliant.

That is perfect 💙

Can someone, any of this guys colleagues whisper into his ear the wig piece isn’t fooling anyone?

Isn’t he the guy that acted like he was going to punch Gaetz when they couldn’t get a speaker elected? What a clown car!

I can see the series of 17 pictures of the same one man at different stages in his life. Where are the other 16 people elected by the Republicans?

s/Period/...and talent. Period/o

Kinda blindingly white

So fucking gross!! 🤮

It's WORSE than that. Most of them aren't qualified.

And they're all creepy looking old men

Republican definition of inclusiveness

Wait till they go after the 19th Amendment!

At this point in time, the idea that only white men will rise to the top in a meritocracy is laughable.

The White Men’s Club. Sickening.

I am sure they are the 17 best qualified people to take their respective roles. Hrumph.

That's a lot of toupees.

🤣

It's pretty diverse as far as white men go. Some have blue ties, some red. Some have grey hair, some brown and some blond. I'll bet all of the haired men discriminate against the bald guys, though.

Anyone with enough money can have hair implants now.

Some have dark socks, some go crazy with colorful socks. Some rock boxers, some rock briefs. Some love football, some love basketball. Quite a diverse bunch, I hope they can all get along.

🤣🤣🤣

And they act like its not deliberate 🙄🤡

Because there is no way to argue that these are merit-based selections…no way.

They're moron-based.

Merit- their extra thick knees pads have "Donald..... And Trump" on them

That list includes Jim Jordan. So, yeah, off the street at random strictly because of race, orientation or gender is going to be better than that mouth breathing child molester ignoring piece of shit.

There is one way to argue that these selections are merit based. Look at how few GOP women there are in Congress. When the candidate pool is overwhelmingly male, pale and stale, then it is unsurprising that these gents float to the top.

They consider pale and male to be "merits"

😂

DEI wouldn't apply here. No matter what we wish. These 17 Republicans were picked by a bunch of maniacal, egotistical assholes. DEI doesn't stop people with money and power. It only works after the a-hole problem is solved. I'd be more concerned about the safety of Dem members.

The Compare Politics model isn't merit based.

Yes, that’s the point. Their entire argument is DEI puts minorities in places they couldn’t get based on merit. They would claim they are where they are because they deserve it and have earned it. Just like Musk saying he is where he is because he earned it. We know that isn’t true.

A bunch of mediocre white men!

NEW: After the network was forced to pay a settlement to Trump's slander lawsuit against them, disgraced ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos deactivates his X account. Trump was "found liable for r*pe" of E. Jean Carroll, according to Stephanopoulos's untrue statement.

because he's a fucking rapist.

😮

did you get lost? why are you posting this here?

My choice, why don't you do your work????

my fucking choice to question your off-topic bate and switch trumpling fuckery.

what the fuck are you on about?

Lol he said "found guilty of rape" which requires qualification to be true, instead of the accurate and true statement "found guilty of sexual assault". What a monster who did untold damage to Trump's image by saying rape instead of sexual assault, which again, he did and was found guilty.

Actually it was a defamation case. The alleged defamation was that Carroll was lying when she said she was raped. Truth is a defense. So the jury found that she wasn't lying when she said she was raped, i.e., she was telling the truth , i.e., Trump did rape her.

I see my useless congressperson, Brian Mast, has scored himself a place.

And ZERO Latinos in the picture. Those “Latinos For Trump” are sure feeling like pendejos right about now.

Temporarily embarassed pendejos. Anyway.

I hope so!

My Latino friends turned on me when I marred a black woman. That came as NO surprise to me. The best man didn't even show up.

So sorry to hear that, Tom. They betray you for something that doesn’t even affect them. At least you know now who your real friends are. This news makes me want to date black women myself.

I eventually made up with that tool. I was best man at his wedding. He knew I wouldn't do that to him. Did it occur to me? Yes. He saw my daughter 20 years later & was stammering. She left & he says - "She's BEAUTIFUL! Hope I didn't make a fool of myself." "Too late." :)

It's almost as if they are more racist than white people.

The mother of one comes up to me at the reception & says - "Black people are inferior." I just straight deadpanned her. Which seemed to make her nervous. So she blurted out - "It says so in the Bible!" "Riight. Hey! Look who's here. I'll be back." I walked away with a glazed look in my eyes.

Wow! My black husband has a phd and MD and I have my masters. Let me guess she is superior to us?

It's funny in retrospect. The sad part is that kind of thinking has only been amplified. It never went away. It went undercover. They're back to saying the quiet parts out loud.

Bingo

To be fair, who would get their coffee if the women were on the committee??

A lot of bold choices to wear a tie in a color not red. Impressive

I don’t know why but this is the cultural equivalent to a tub of crusty Kindergarten paste, circa 1984. Dried out, bland, white, nearly useless and these days, obsolete.

I'm only surprised some of em were allowed to wear anything but Red ties White med...assimilate or die

Everything will be all white. I mean right.

Everyone of these fuckers needs a target painted on their foreheads.

Bringing a whole new meaning to "what is a woman"

Apparently the republicans are trying to keep both transgender and cisgender women out of women’s restrooms in D.C.

By looking at them all, I agree. They don't look like they had much action in the women department 🤣

They probably don't unless they pay for it. *shudder* 🤢

Obviously, they don’t think too much of Republican women!

I’ll never understand how people think diversity equity and inclusion are bad things???

It's mind-boggling.

Exactly. The literal opposite is conformity, inequality, and exclusion. Practices that are guaranteed to make America anything but "great".

When GOP's have power...

I have nothing against older white men, I just think others should be allowed to join the club!

DEI works as intended: It frustrates white supremacist, sexist, traitors to the flag.

My spidery senses sensed our 12 pedophiles

And excludes the young, too.

Good point!

Then again, do we really want a Fox Barbie thrown in there for good measure? Methinks not

Can we say "F--k the patriarchy"?

I'm all about meritocracy. Best person for the job. The fact we're in this situation shows how far away that is.... Makes me want to party likes it's 1789.

A lot of those white faces should be behind bars..but that was when America believed in law and order

And we are supposed to believe that all of these appointed cizwhite males are the most qualified for the position and didn’t get the job by pledging fealty and loyalty to a certain politician?

We sure they're all cis? It's not like they'd keep their careers if they came out. Oh and you can say CIS here. 😉

🤮

💯

There need to be a better system for diversity. I personally got passed on a job even though I was far more qualified, to someone who never even worked in the field solely because she was black I was actually told this by my manager "we have a quota & black woman counted twice".. I quit

That is what so many do not understand. DEI is to encourage the hiring of minorities and women - who are qualified. Whereas, the upcoming administration is wants to hire only MAGAffirmative Action hires - who are not experienced and/or qualified for those positions.
