He seems like he's as incredulous about his position as the rest of us are. like "Really? Me? fucken really?"

It is a Trump bootlicker thing.

Does lemmy have punchablefaces yet?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Well, he has as much experience in his field as his peers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Got it, he wants US to burn.

22-Year-Old

Obvious lack of experience and not qualified for the position.

Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant

Completely irrelevant, and not something to criticize. God forbid people get a shit starter job when they're joining the work force.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

The rise from starter job to top government official usually includes things like gaining experience, having some success, being a noteworthy professional in some way....

Not... Nothing?

Great, another face I want to punch.

Even if this guy had served in military intelligence for 4 years he would still be too inexperienced for this role.

This guy looks like he’s about to play his best Yugioh card

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The card would likely be older than him

I can't get over how a kid who did high school over zoom during COVID is now in charge of terror prevention for the US

If you wanted more terrorist attacks on your soil in order to justify suspending the constitution, this is exactly how you’d go about it.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago (10 children)

Stop using people’s work history at menial Jobs as way to attack them. Aoc was a bartender. All you’re doing is being an elitist.

His past work as a gardener or grocery store worker shouldn’t be the headline here. Looking down at the working class is a dick move no matter who you are.

I’m sure this guy has plenty of stupid and his leanings aren’t good. But don’t attack him for being working class

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Thats really not the issue here and if you don't get that then I don’t know how to help you.

Fall guy. Somehow the blame for his obvious incompetence will not be imputed up the command chain.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

So embarrassing to see.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

Boot licker extraordinaire.
