Mission failed: Just seeing his face makes me want to strap C4 around my chest and walk into the RNC.
How bizzare...
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.
Listing previous work is pretty standard when getting a job, also shows his prior qualifications which I think we're entitled to know.
The lack of experience is worthy of criticism; but the "Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant" is presented as not worthy of respect. Which is bullshit.
It has the same air as some trumpanzee dipshit trying to insult AOC by calling her a 'bartender', as though having been a bartender makes her unqualified for her current position, which is similarly bullshit.
Gardeners, store assistants, and bartenders all contribute to our society and shouldn't be looked down on for their role; nor should that role be held against them when they decide to move on to something else.
...I guess my point is that gardening and entry-level-grocery are completely fine and expected experience for a 22 year old; but that no 22 year old could have the experience to do well as a leader in terror prevention. So, there's a distinction between criticizing the absence of experience (justified), vs criticizing someone for having actual experience in an unrelated field (bullshit).
And the US just officially warned Iran “not to retaliate”. I think we know what’s coming, lads.
Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant to ~~Lead U.S. Terror Prevention~~ scape goat.
FTFY
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
If he were the assistant director, or anything that's not a key leadership role, that might be true. But an agency head should have an appropriate resume and experience.
Unless that’s his entire CV because at 22 yo, because what could he have done to merit such a critical role in the government?
All work dignifies but not all work prepares you for nation impacting decisions.
Thats really not the issue here and if you don't get that then I don’t know how to help you.
Then why is it the headline?
Because it’s The Daily Beast and they suck.
I would not hire this person as a repair technician based on that resume. Am I discriminating? Yes, in the same sense that all hiring discriminates for skills and experience.
I would never hire someone like this for risk analysis, risk abatement, or political communications.
How is this not completely fucking obvious to everyone?
Kakistocracy
Context is key. Those jobs are his only qualifications.
I mean being 22 and having that work history is pretty relevant. How else are they going to make the case that he's nowhere near qualified enough for the position?
Did he have a stroke?
It's Bag Boy's time to shine.
Coming to a 'Concentration Camp Overseer' position near you.
Were official portraits always this funny?
If anyone is wondering the connection:
This guy had internships at the Heritage Foundation and did some service as a special assistant in a DHS immigration office.
Heritage foundation strikes again with installing young puppets.
his experience at Four Seasons Total Landscaping also helped
This is his actual professional portrait btw
Don't sully Dr.Evils name.
That fucking eyebrow
It is a Trump bootlicker thing.
He seems like he's as incredulous about his position as the rest of us are. like "Really? Me? fucken really?"
it's inspiring that in the states you can be a convicted felon, and/or just a totally unqualified moron with no experience in any sort of political office (see: POTUS) and get a high profile position in the federal government. america truly is the land of opportunity
We really do our best to be equal opportunity here. But none of that DEI shit.
So embarrassing to see.
Boot licker extraordinaire.
