The font was chosen in an effort to make documents easier to read for the vision impaired.

So It's Republican policy that the government must not, even in the smallest way, make life any easier for disabled people? And the government must not do nothing and leave in place something that already makes life easier for them, but must actively intervene to make it harder? Of course it is, but what the fuck is wrong with these people that they dedicate their entire life to getting into government so they can punch down and hurt others? How have they not even accidentally stumbled into being better than the worst they can be?

Ok Boomer

"Small government" but also lets waste money on dumb shit like this that doesn't matter.

Also wouldn't a serif font cost more in ink over the course of millions of documents printed? Those serifs might not take a lot of ink to add but they do add up.

Oh they found that the font was helping someone. Can't have that.

These people are such fucking trash...

Imagine being so much snowflake that a simple font upsets you. Words fail.

Ugh.

At least Arial exists. And Helvetica. But Times New Roman? What is this, English class in the early aughts? 12pt font, double spaced with one inch margins?

Hell, if you want wanna make America great again make it Courier; tech bros'll think you're coding but we know you really just want to take us back to late 1800s when typewriters and bad economic policy were in. Or maybe something appropriate for this administration, like Wingdings.

Must be a slow day in the state department...

More distractions

What. An. Idiot.

fuck me what a sad bastard.

Marco Rubio apparently doesn't have enough shit to do at work.

Calibri kind of sucks, it's better on screen then TNR, but it's ugly as shit still. A better font could probably be found that reads well on screen and in print. But:

Rubio did admit in the memo that Calibri wasn’t the “most illegal, immoral, radical or wasteful” example of DEI to his mind’s eye, but he still berated the font for contributing to “the degradation” of the State Department’s official correspondence.

Fuck this guy, regardless.

Times New Roman is wayyyy too classy for Trump Administration. They should switch to Comic Sans MS.

...Oh no, I'm re-heating font jokes that people older than me found funny decades ago. What has this present political climate reduced us to?

You know how if you're reading a headline from the onion and you mistake it for real you've "eaten the onion?"

Is there a name for the reverse phenomenon? Where a real headline reflecting actual reality is so ridiculous that you reject it out of hand as satire only to realize it was genuine? Regurgitating the onion? What's the name for this?

All future documents must be in Fraktur.

I hope this gets incorporated in a College Humor font wars sketch...

I was expecting Comic Sans.

Uh-huh. Sure.
I'll get right on that, as soon as you can explain exactly how the singular genitive declension of the Latin word Dēus has literally any bearing whatsoever on office policies.

its a nice distraction of whats going in with the epstein files, and immigration.

Hope someone throws acid in his face and impairs his vision. That would be golden.

“Not only am I tiny, so is my dick!”

I hope they make papyrus the official font

Wait till he finds out about comic sans

legitimately can't imagine being this much of an obedient and brainless little bitch

So... Just tell the browser to display Times New Roman as Calibri. Problem solved. I'm just amazed that this guy wastes his time and tax payer paid salary on something like this and people just accept it.

MAGAts are so petty.
