AOC was a waitress, let’s shit on shitty people for their shitty actions. Let’s not shit on them because they worked “unskilled jobs” that’s just elitism. I’m sure this guy has skeletons in his 22 year old closet, but being a gardener isn’t one of them.
AOC was a waitress after attending Boston University where she double-majored in international relations and economics.
Fugate (the chode in the picture) attended UT SA until 2024 with no documented majors. no military experience. no counterterrorism training.
he did work as an intern at the Heritage Foundation until his appointment to this current position.
so tell me, why do you feel the need to draw a relationship between Fugate and AOC when they are obviously no where near related?
The connection is simply the hypocrisy of republicans who yell about AOC being underqualified, while being totally ok with someone actually completely unqualified.
You bring up another point, the whole need to point out someone’s university education. Just as elitist implying that people who aren’t college educated are idiots. It’s champagne liberalism, trying to be a leftist while looking down your nose at people who couldn’t afford or get to have a university education.
I don’t care about her education. You don’t need that to be a good person or leader. I just drew the comparison because it’s clear and obvious.
I’m sure fugate is very unqualified, but it has nothing to do with his past work as a gardener. Stop being so stuck up
This is why the American left is drowning, after catching fire. The rest of us around the world are all watching it in disbelief. Just like the American right, you guys just really gave in to divisiveness and hate and looking down on others. Can’t say im not enjoying watching you all drown
so you’re fine if your doctor practices medicine without any degree?
you find it acceptable if a surgeon performed open heart surgery on a family member without any experience in human anatomy?
in your perspective it’s preferred to have an EMT have the training and life experience of a taxi driver?
Not the user you replied to, but:
For cabinet positions, no, I wouldn’t want a non-expert.
But, for congress, other than legal requirements the only real “qualification” in my opinion is the ability to read.
Congress is supposed to be average people that represents the interests of the people. Its totally fine for someone with a highschool degree / GED to be a representative, as long as they can understand the legislations they vote on. They are supposed to have staff that helps them with understanding the bills to be voted on.
Even for the president, its still just being a representative of the people, they should know how to choose qualified people for cabinet, and defer to expert opinion.
TLDR:
Congressmembers represent their district/state. President represents the country
(Or at lesst that’s what they were supposed to be doing)They don’t have to be the experts themselves.
Cabinet on the other need to be experts in their field.
Similar with the Judicial branch, they need to be experts on the law.@GreenKnight23 I have to remind myself now and then that around ten thousand people are new to the Internet every day. That includes people as insufferably tiresome as you.
It’s not that you don’t have a point. You do. Or whether you’re ‘wrong’. That’s irrelevant. It’s that you’re being such an asshole about it.
Luckily, modern tools let us permanently block people who just want to pick fights for the sake of it.
Bye.
bye bye

The fact IS that a person in the cabinet SHOULD have actual expertise on the subject. Congress IS for the people so anyone should be able to represent the people.
How do you think is ok that someone with NO combat/military experience leads the fucking U.S Terror prevention, it has nothing to do with him being a gardener, he could be a doctor and my opinion would be the same, he isn’t qualified for the job, simple as that.
How difficult is it to ask for a person assigned to the cabinet to be qualified to take decisions on the matter?
Then make it fucking law
how can you fuck a law?
oh yeah, install a lawless Nazi that fills their cabinet with other Nazis.
Not sure why this isn’t clear to you, but being a gardener is brought up because it’s almost the only job experience he has, and it is obviously not related to counter terrorism. It is not mentioned with the intent of criticizing gardeners.
The headline literally brings up his being a gardener as the main point of the headline
Hopefully you have more insight now as to why that is.
It’s called punching up.
AOC represents people, not pretend to be an expert lol.
Congress people are supposed to be amateurs. That’s why they have staff to help them understand the text of the legislation they vote on. They represent the peopl’s interests (or are supposed to), and their staff help them with the understanding of the text. All that’s required for being in congress is just ability to read.
Cabinet and other similar appointed positions are supposed to require skill and experience.
Whatever helps you justify it, but to the regular people you put down because they’re “unskilled”, you just look like a jerk
It doesn’t mean they have no skills. Just that the job doesn’t require a specific set of skills or knowledge, unlike a cabinet position.
I guess what this is really about is that just like wokeism or the Democrats as they use minorities as human shields, the right wing also likes to appeal to the working class. But in reality, the elite don’t need experts. They just need people to follow orders. Which means the beatings will continue until the moral improves. You have to be able to sacrifice your child to the son gawd as well as your Machavillian abilities to do the deed. The real issue here is that most Yankee pig dogs don’t have the ability to accurately communicate the issues so we just live in a world of memes. Like, we are nothing but a reactionary mob because we allow ourselves to be a reactionary mob. And this is perfect for the police state because it gives the justification because of optics to beat the shit out of us when we try to fight back. And it is through the left and right paradigm that they maintain the social order. VIA DIVIDE and Rule. Careful what they do overseas because it’s going to come back to you and me. I’ve lived long enough and I know America is getting what it deserves and there’s more to come. It’s just right around the corner. We either seize the means of production or we lock ourselves in our own chains. Voting Democrat won’t change a thing. And it’s all the same to those that can afford to pay off the corrupt police who nowadays have deputy gangs. Welcome to the Lords and Ladies of the Clown Kingdumb. You know, you kinda get peace of mind knowing that regardless of your own outcome, these individuals will face consequences. It is a mad world. If your on the side of the truth you don’t need validation. We have seen all of this before. If you are literate and study history you know what comes next. It is easy to be a prophet when there is nothing new under the son
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.
Canada, now is your chance to invade
Burn the white house again.
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.
Now more than ever, I am convinced that the Trump administration is praying for a terrorist attack as soon as possible. They want to enact their own version of the patriot act and scrape away any and all constitutional protections we all take for granted. I’m also positive they are hoping one will occur before the 2026 election cycle which could replace a vast majority of Republican congressmen due to negative perception of Republicans at the moment.
Are there other headlines right now that receive less airtime while this appointment is discussed?
Haha headline, nice burn
He is trumps bastard. Calling it now.
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.
Loyalty is the primary qualification
Absolutely no favoritism with this hire.
He will weed them out!
Why do I think he’d look more the part, if he were wearing a t-shirt that said “I’m voting for Pedro?”
