A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

That this sentient walnut ever got a job is the real DEI

1. Another unqualified Trump MAGA hire.

Stupid is as stupid does.

[Jvp]

8. the republican party is a party of stupid and greed

a dangerous mix

[crud]

2. We knew this is what was happening

It's a little different when this depravity is displayed in daylight. Interesting to see the cognitive dissonance register on his face, as he hears the words coming out of his mouth.

3. Oh, my f'ing god!!! I am speechless. Maybe we are doomed. They are dumber than trump!!!

10. My reaction was the same - OMFG!

Speechless.

[crud]

4. This

5. "I'm an idiot who cannot explain the main focus of my job."

DEI is just for Jewish women? What the actual fuck?

7. On top of being a clueless git

he has resting asshole face.

[Solly Mack]

9. Wow.

That was painful to watch.

[yellow dahlia]

11. It really was.

[yellow dahlia]

12. And "we" paid the salary of this guy?

Can we look up what he was paid?

[Prairie Gates]

13. Guarantee you he was making six figures while he worked there

Total grift.

I'd say he was making no less than $140,000 + benies.

[sinkingfeeling]

14. Pathetic.

15. omg -- just reading the comments, i HAVE to watch this video... but not now

we've been having some storms, loud thunder booms and it scares my little dog. i finally got her calmed down a bit with her thunder shirt and i'm watching colbert on the laptop but if i turn on something else she'll get freaked out again.

so this long tirade is essentially a bookmark for this post

16. god! i watched it. well, i would like this add this one and start a collection of DOGE depositions

cancelled 1500 grants simply by reading a paragraph summary. (he didn't have to read the file to get the jist of it.) if it had "DEI" listed on the grant he cancelled it (and probably didn't even bother reading the fucking paragraph summary)

this part 5 was the first one i ran across. if you put Nathan Cavanaugh Deposition in the youtube search you can find all six

17. adding this one to the list here

there are 7 videos of this deposition
