      And the US just officially warned Iran “not to retaliate”. I think we know what’s coming, lads.

        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

          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.

              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.

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

                      Mission failed: Just seeing his face makes me want to strap C4 around my chest and walk into the RNC.

                            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.

                                  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).

                                          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?
