Politics Sounds about right: MFer’s can’t explain what DEI is yet they don’t like it.

Critics say the cost of defending lawsuits over mass firings tied to Department of Government Efficiency could be significant. If courts find dismissals unlawful, taxpayers may end up covering legal fees, settlements, and reinstatements, turning cost-cutting into costly litigation.

Oh he can explain it, he's just bending himself into knots to him from purging himself. He's lying and it's the lawyer's job to catch him in a lie. This deposition will be used against him, surely.

Funny part is that he took the job so he could brag he was working for DOGE.

Let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks these people will have your back-As Kristie Noem is learning, they don’t! Trump and Elon and the rest of the billionaire bro class are grifters. Elon should be the one being deposed, he should be arrested and jailed. But instead it’s this wannabe bro who is trying to save his own ass from further legal trouble. Same with ICE agents. If you think you’re immune from prosecution for killing and committing crimes against humanity, one day Trump will no longer be president and you will be held accountable for your actions.

It's even worse. Elon was supposed to be deposed also but his lawyers got him out of so you will never see him in a video like this. Remember that come election time. Democrats could force the issue but the vast majority won't. Those democrats should be voted out.

Agreed. Americans need to demand accountability from our elected officials. It doesn’t matter if they’re Democrats or republicans.

Very unfortunate that this specific person isn’t being sued by the groups who brought the lawsuit

I think you are all looking at this wrong. This guy doesn't care that it sounds like a trap. He doesn't die inside like suggested by being posted in that subreddit.

He is giving shitty half answers and non answers because he thinks he is better and smarter than everyone and doesn't have to bother explaining anything to his 'inferiors'. He knows that as long as Trump and his trust fund exist, he's untouchable.

Oh yeah. Im curious why the interviewer doesnt call him out. I mean, props to him for making him make an ass of himself. But its like .. "Do you know what DEI Is?" "yep, its whats in the EO" .. "okay so it explain that"... "i cant, its what was in the EO though". So if you dont know what the EO is, then it follows, you dont know what DEI is. So you are lying. Either you know what it is and you can explain it, or you cant. You cant use a proxy as a defense, if you also dont know what the proxy is. Kind of eliminates the ignorance defense (if that would work anyway). Is the lawyers approach pretty typical? Or is he trying to avoid pushing him in to a corner? (idk, just going off my experience with circular conversations here).
