I've never seen a more Lunchables face. Brown put your eyebrow down

You know he's been practising that for hours in front of the mirror.

Lunchables! You gotta keep that. Wonder if his Mommy still packs his lunchables and lays out his clothes every morning.

Given time, we will see more weird hairstyles from the Regime...

Nailed it. I knew it looked familiar :)

The other side is almost normal looking.

Are there other headlines right now that receive less airtime while this appointment is discussed?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Haha headline, nice burn

The amount of incompetence in this administration is staggering.

Only the best of the best of the best.

His sole qualification is probably winning The Official Trump Bootlicking Contest.

DHS will eat him alive. He is in way over his head and will eventually become a scapegoat. Can’t wait!

They must be planning a false flag and this is the patsy that will take the blame for dropping the ball.

As always.
The only real terrorism in the world invariably comes from the US regime or from a US proxy.

I bet we could rng ppl in these comments 10x more capable.

I have one very simple question:

Who … are … his … parents?

Based on his LinkedIn, and what appeared in the story, I’m not sure what sets him apart from thousands of other wannabe MAGA assholes.

Which triggers my spideysense. Well that and the arrogant fucking faces he’s putting out into the interwebs like he’s Don Juan De La Nooch.

My guess is he’s probably a nepo-baby and his folks are either influential or made a ‘donation’ to get him appointed.

To quote Ocean’s Eleven:

“Never heard of him.” “That’s why I don’t doubt it.”

He interned at the Heritage Foundation.

I wouldn’t rule out “favors” being exchanged.

Let's not stoop to the level of Republicans who called AOC "a waitress". The issue should be his lack of experience, not the jobs he had in the past. He's only been out of college for a year (BA in politics and law from Univ of Texas) and has little or no experience to qualify him to head anything. He should be doing the same entry level work as any recent graduate. This appointment is just typical Trump incompetence.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago

a 22 year old college grad being in charge of terror prevention is wild lmao it doenst even need to be discussed, there is no good argument in favor of it

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Lack of experience... jobs in the past... jobs in the past ARE experience.

A 22 Year Old from the Republican Heritage Foundation, a Private Organization that Wrote Trump's Policy, being put in CHARGE of UNITED STATES COUNTER TERRORISM is Proof that DEMOCRATS are the Deep State!
