Washington D.C. is drowning in its own filth – literally – as raw sewage floods the nation's capital while diversity-obsessed bureaucrats scramble to explain how their woke hiring practices led to this disgusting disaster.

The sewage crisis plaguing our capital city isn't just an embarrassment – it's a perfect metaphor for what happens when government prioritizes skin color and gender over actual competence. While D.C. residents wade through literal human waste, the city's DEI-hired administrators are more concerned with pronouns than plumbing.

America First vs. America Last

Remember when American cities were the envy of the world? Our leaders used to proudly compare American infrastructure and quality of life to other nations, knowing we'd come out on top every time. Now, thanks to decades of leftist mismanagement, our own capital looks like a failed state.

"This is what happens when you hire based on identity politics instead of merit," said one frustrated D.C. resident who asked to remain anonymous. "We've got sewage in the streets while city officials worry about 'equity' instead of basic sanitation."

The sewage crisis is just the latest symptom of a government that has completely lost its way, prioritizing woke ideology over the basic functions of civilization.

President Trump's team is already taking notice. With the new administration's commitment to ending DEI madness across federal agencies, perhaps it's time to look at how these failed policies have literally created a pile of crap in our nation's capital.

This isn't just about bad pipes – it's about a system that rewards the right politics over the right qualifications. When you hire based on checkboxes instead of competence, you get exactly what D.C. residents are dealing with right now: a city drowning in its own waste.

How many more American cities will we let turn into third-world disasters before we admit that merit matters more than melanin? The answer should be zero – but that requires leaders brave enough to put America first again.

This is exactly what happens when you prioritize ideology over competence! You can't run critical infrastructure based on diversity quotas instead of actual qualifications.

As someone who works in municipal engineering, this couldn't be more true. Skills and experience matter when lives are at stake.

I live in the affected area and it's been absolutely disgusting. My street has been flooded with sewage for three days now and the city's response has been pathetic. Meanwhile they spent millions on diversity training last year.

So sorry you're dealing with this! Hope you and your family stay safe and healthy.

How much taxpayer money was wasted on DEI consultants that could have gone to actual infrastructure maintenance? I'd love to see those numbers.

I retired from public works in 2019 and saw this coming from a mile away. When you start hiring based on demographics instead of merit, critical systems fail. It's that simple.
