No experience? No problem!
Making the military great again!
Oh we’re also cutting veterans benefits!
Is this the dude Colin Farrell was designed to be as The Penguin?
Wow, he actually looks like a robber baron.
Stick one of those high-collared 1600s naval uniforms on him and he’d look just like those classical paintings of obese peerage with military titles.
He looks like he exclusively does business deals in lounges while the other party picks up the bar tab
There’s zero need to have civil leadership have military experience. That’s kind of the point, to create a buffer. Not that I think there aren’t plenty of disqualifying points for this chode, as he was appointed by Trump so that comes with the territory.
Bush had several with no military experience and Clinton had this one https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Danzig. Another had 2 years as a Lt.
So…all these clown appointments. The guy just wants to wreck it all, right? WTF.
So the 1% can just buy everything for cents on the dollar like they did during the great depression and great recession
Did they forget that the last gilded age was also the same era as the Union and County wars or are they just fucken stupid. Who am I kidding all these dipshits are new money yuppies who dont know jack shit.
Trump ruining all branches of government while simultaneously making us vulnerable to Russian Intelligence with these picks.
All Donny had to do was call the Saudi embassy on Inauguration Day 2017 and politely ask for $50 billion in a Swiss account.

“businessman”
if you don’t use the quotes it implies that he’s actually a businessman.
wonder how much this post cost.
Well, at least we know he’s great at kissing Trump’s ass. Apparently, that’s the only requirement for any job in his cabinet or administration.
I don’t mind this. The rank and file will see this cunt for the fake that he is. Which is possibly the best outcome we can expect while under the rule of Putin’s bitch.
There are much more worthwhile outcomes to wish for, and to achieve.
Well, yes, it would be nice if the fucking moron voters elected someone whose allegiance is to the USA. But this is our reality. Expectations must be moderated. We are now in a struggle to simply preserve our country.
The collapse of the US empire would be incredibly exciting if I did not live in it
This perfectly encapsulates my feelings.
Good. Navy can eat farts.
I mean, they’re the least fascist branch of the US military and the only one we actually need to have HomElAnD sEcUrItY
But they do love going to town on the budget for boondoggles
… a businessman …
And there it is, again, the deification of the “businessman” - as if that is something that is a qualification.
FFS.
divided states of plutocrica
Ferengi code of dysfunction.
At one point I set up an LLC, planning to do stuff with it, but never did.
I am a business man.
I bet you that my non functional business, with 0 assets, 0 liabilities… is in better financial, net worth shape than a whole lot of other businesses.
Hire me for DOGE, Elon.
And yet another blow struck for kakistocracy.
You’d think after the last term that the idea of running the US as a business should be unpopular. It is decidedly not a business (though it can be used for profit, which is the major problem here).
It’s almost like Trump voters had no clue what they were voting for. Or they did, but they had no clue what it meant.

no almost like, it’s exactly what it is.
Private Investment firm.
Motherfucker is a VC bro.
Anyone else remember when the Republicans attacked Mitt Romney in the primaries for basically just being a corporate vulture?
Oh well, sure, why not. A venture capitalist for Sec Navy. Not even business experience as a supplier or contractor for the Navy.
So anyway, the US is now about as legitimate a government as Russia, post Soviet collapse.
Third world country with a Gucci belt, nuclear power with a nakedly corrupt oligarchy in charge.
(Yes I know third world has to do with nonaligned during the Cold War, pretend we all know its colloquial usage.)
