    Kirk, a former Miss Arizona beauty pageant winner, was also recognized by Trump during the president’s State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress in February.

    She was hired because of nepotism her qualifications…

      She was hired because she’s proven herself to be a valuable psychopath and propaganda operative; those are the only relevant qualifications to the American nazi party.

          Vance is not getting the succession though. Ha. That fucking tool? No one likes him, that’s why he was chosen, so the big man wouldn’t be shunted aside for him.

          After the dust has settled, Vance will be chopped liver mark my words. Hopefully this cynical bitch throws in her lot with him and get wasted too. Silver lining.

        The problem with that is you’re going to get nothing but resentment and very little sympathy from most people. The actions of your government is causing chaos in the world, and for all intents and purposes you’re doing nothing about it.

          I’m just stating the reality, not defending it.

          Something like 40% of people in this country support what’s happening. They might tell a survey that they’re not happy about invading Iran, but it will never stop them from financially supporting, and voting for, the fascists that are doing the things.

          People here are rotten to the core.

      It’s going to take a culture shift. People on the ground don’t feel like they can trust each other. Until we have a sense that our neighbors won’t let us go hungry, a general strike can’t be sustained.

      We get there with mutual aid, building relationships with our neighbors, and time. General strike 2028

      Hey it could be a DUI hire like others too…I don’t know much about her if that could be accurate but if she’s going with that ship she’s a fucking douche. No one with any sense of morality would ever accept a position from them.

      Funny how apparently all the ‘christian/godly’ (outspoken ones) types are attaching themselves to the apparent anti Christ. Well probably not literally but the description fits 1:1 and I’m an atheist but I think the Bible had a good description of that charlaton.

      I recall reading some old philosopher and they described the worst person, it was Trump. I could never find it again forget but it was Plato or Aristotle I think. There have always been those types in all of history. Somehow the US was hoodwinked into actually giving him power, rather than run him off like the snake oil salesmen he is.

        I’m not religious either, but I’m aware of the core principles of Christianity. Trump is the embodiment of greed, and goes heavily against what the Bible teaches, look no further than “love thy neighbor.” He actively goes against that core principle daily. I’m sure someone has done a full write up of all the things trump has done that’s against the Bibles teachings, yet these Bible loving “”“Christians”“” swear he’s the second coming of Jesus and was appointed by god.

        It’s a cult, plain and simple. Christians follow him because a good amount of them are conservative, because their believe is only surface level. It’s only faith when it’s convenient and “against gods wishes or whatever” when it’s against their conservative beliefs.

        Christians that belive trump is the greatest and sent to us by god haven’t read the same fucking book they’re constantly quoting, they’re hypocrites and traitors to themselves and their supposed beliefs. He is in fact the antichrist according to these people’s own book.

        This is the true Trump Derangement Syndrome, because once again, every accusation is a confession of the Repulikkkan party.

          “Could American Evangelicals spot the Antichrist?”

          The answer is, resoundingly: no, they cannot, despite having an entire Where’s Waldo-esque guide to spotting him listed in their holy book that they love to claim to have read.

          I’m an atheist (reading the Bible critically will do that to you); and even I readily recognize that Trump, and men just like him, were explicitly called out and warned against in Revelations, among other chapters.

            You’ve missed the point, they KNOW he’s the antichrist. They need him to be to get to heaven without actually dying. I’m the child of old conservative evangelical christian ministers, and I can tell you at 80+ they are more terrified of dying that any other single thing.

    Donald Trump is cancer. Literally couldn’t be a worse person. And he thinks the concept of “qualified” means “is liked by people in power”. If this administration doesn’t depress you greatly, nothing will.

    Nothing of real value is given value by this administration. Only money and hoarding it matter, and nakedly so. They’re literally citing greed as why starting a war is ok. “we’re going to make a lot of money” is something actually said out loud by politicians in defense of a war. I cannot imagine how this government could get more corrupt.
