Even if this guy had served in military intelligence for 4 years he would still be too inexperienced for this role.

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.

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.

The Nazi Foundation positions another pawn.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 50 points 1 day ago

his experience at Four Seasons Total Landscaping also helped

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 16 hours ago

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.

If you wanted more terrorist attacks on your soil in order to justify suspending the constitution, this is exactly how you’d go about 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?

I stuck a magnet up his butt and now his rotation powers a small bitcoin farm.

what a joke of an administration

[–] klu9@piefed.social 11 points 20 hours ago

As an administration, it's a joke. As an exercise in evil, it's right on track.

Looks just like his dad Johnny, who did not hit Lisa, despite her tearing him apart.

This is his actual professional portrait btw

[–] AJ1@lemmy.ca 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] Toga65@lemmy.world 15 points 18 hours ago (16 children)

Listing previous work is pretty standard when getting a job, also shows his prior qualifications which I think we're entitled to know.

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

[–] emmy67@lemmy.world 75 points 23 hours ago

Context is key. Those jobs are his only qualifications.

[–] SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works 39 points 22 hours ago

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

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 43 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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?

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.
