Even if this guy had served in military intelligence for 4 years he would still be too inexperienced for this role.
trump, like putin thrives on incompetance simply because they would be too disorganized to perform a “coup” against him.
thrives on incompetance
😐
gardening and grocery store experience? overqualified for this administration for sure
If these weren’t traitor lunatics, this would be based and progressive.
I remember being 22… yeah… no… just… ugh… no!
There’s a reason that the minimum age to run for president is 35. But rules and regulations don’t matter anymore.
Why is he making that face. lmfao
Looks like Pete Campbell from Mad Men.
He interned in DreamWorks as a face model
More like nightmareworks.
Beat me to it.
Mission failed: Just seeing his face makes me want to strap C4 around my chest and walk into the RNC.
And the US just officially warned Iran “not to retaliate”. I think we know what’s coming, lads.
Let it be known that WW3 was not unforeseen.
Anyone checked Nostradamus lately?
Honestly, I wouldn’t bother at this point. We’re in the react portion, not the prediction phase.
Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant to
Lead U.S. Terror Preventionscape goat.FTFY
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).
AOC isn’t 22. So where did he get experience to run such a department at 22 with no relevant job? No leadership, no military, no geopolical, nothing. It’s like me leading an agency about anime. My knowledge of anime ends at the point that I know it exists. At 22 you can only get experience with terrorism by being military. Even if you’re a rigorous and studious person, there’s no way you can understand terrorism unless you’ve dealt with it personally.
For example, most of the suicide bomb attacks in Iraq weren’t psychotic religious extremists. Most of them were pressured by the actual terrorists. They would kidnap or threaten their families to make them do it. Others were poor, destitute individuals who were promised that upon completion of their “mission” that their family would be rewarded with a large payout. This isn’t uncommon even in the West. It gets underreported because in the West it usually manifests in a different way. My own grandpa repeatedly expressed concerns of not leaving his family enough before he took his own life and he tested rockets for NASA.so it’s not exclusive to the Middle East to hold your family above yourself.
That level of understanding of the motive simply doesn’t exist at 22, especially if you’ve never left the states. If you want to stop something, literally anything, you have to understand WHY it’s happening. I don’t wrench on my engine when the brakes are locked up, because I understand how the machine works. Terrorism is far more complicated than a vehicle, and it’s an absolute requirement to have experience in it to understand it. It isn’t the age, it’s the experience.
I’m confused, this reads like an argument, but you’re making the same point.
I’m not, AOC had some life behind her when she was elected. This dude doesn’t. And wasn’t elected.
I’mma quote from the post you responded to, maybe you can help me see what I’m missing.

Where does your argument contradict that?
I guess I am failing to understand your question with what I said. Can you word it another way?
I’m in between work from layoffs. I started at a grocery store because i needed healthcare and it’s a union job. It’s shit work. And I exhausting. But by no means is it disrespectful work. Who the fuck is going to feed everyone?
The problem here is that it’s irrelevant experience. It’s absolutely a respectable job, but that doesn’t make you capable of leading a task force. I have a respectable job, I’ve never been involved in the film industry at all, beyond watching. So should I be the CEO of universal? Do you think by working at a grocery store makes you capable of farming?
Entirely agree. Kid is out of his element! Godcdamn it. Donny!
Also, as a former bartender, there is a lot of politics involved in that job. You’re in charge of a bunch of (hopefully temporary) morons. There’s risk assessment and mediation happening, controlling a bunch of people who are adverse to rules and being told no. Geopolitics isn’t that far from breaking up a fight in a bar. But he doesn’t have any of that comparable experience.
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.
wonder what kind of internship, doesnt look like his major/degree is anything useful, certainly not a lawyer to be judge material for the foundation.
The Nazi Foundation positions another pawn.
his experience at Four Seasons Total Landscaping also helped
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
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.
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?
hes also a NEPO-baby, and with something like HF, i wouldnt call someone like that as having a work history.
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.
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.
Exactly. And if he’s 22 now, 5 years ago he was 17. Lots of teenagers have menial jobs in high school to get some cash. There’s nothing wrong with that.
There’s nothing wrong with having absolutely zero experience with something and then becoming in charge of it for one of the largest countries on earth?
Nah sounds good 👍maybe give a convicted felon a chance to turn his life around?
But let’s be real for a angstrom second here: both are DEI hires
Don’t sully Dr.Evils name.
How bizzare…
what a joke of an administration
As an administration, it’s a joke. As an exercise in evil, it’s right on track.
