No experience? No problem!
Making the military great again!
Oh we’re also cutting veterans benefits!
… a businessman …
And there it is, again, the deification of the “businessman” - as if that is something that is a qualification.
FFS.
Wow, he actually looks like a robber baron.
He looks like he exclusively does business deals in lounges while the other party picks up the bar tab
Stick one of those high-collared 1600s naval uniforms on him and he’d look just like those classical paintings of obese peerage with military titles.
Trump ruining all branches of government while simultaneously making us vulnerable to Russian Intelligence with these picks.
All Donny had to do was call the Saudi embassy on Inauguration Day 2017 and politely ask for $50 billion in a Swiss account.
2017
so noted
The collapse of the US empire would be incredibly exciting if I did not live in it
This perfectly encapsulates my feelings.
I knew a second Trump administration was going to be a horror show, but I’m pretty sure Putin orchestrated a lot of this in revenge of the US using capitalism to crush the USSR.
He’s now using capitalism to crush the US. And he’s barely doing anything, he just had to help get a spoon fed capitalist elected and the capitalist would handle the rest.
“businessman”
if you don’t use the quotes it implies that he’s actually a businessman.
So…all these clown appointments. The guy just wants to wreck it all, right? WTF.
So the 1% can just buy everything for cents on the dollar like they did during the great depression and great recession
Did they forget that the last gilded age was also the same era as the Union and County wars or are they just fucken stupid. Who am I kidding all these dipshits are new money yuppies who dont know jack shit.
Well, at least we know he’s great at kissing Trump’s ass. Apparently, that’s the only requirement for any job in his cabinet or administration.
The last eight people who have held the title since 2009 had served either in the Navy, Marine Corps, Army or Coast Guard, according to their Naval History and Heritage Command biographies.
Considering the one from 2009 to 2017 didn’t serve in the military that’s some weird phrasing…

What’s crazy is (including “acting” like the article does) we’ve had 8 Sec Of Navy’s in 7 years…

Just an insane amount of turnover under both Biden and trump.
I hated when Obama did this, at least this time the rest of the Dem party will be pissed too.
Edit:
Mabus sucked, but obviously this guy is gonna suck more. The Navy is ripe for corruption with overseas refueling, I think the Fat Leonard case still has some officers in trial, but it might be finished by now.
Having a civilian as secretary is not bad, at that level, healthy even. But that requires a type of person who almost certainly would not be in the good graces of Trump. And anyone accepting the position now must fight uphill to prove they are not a mindless, greedy thug filled with evil
I was skimming more and the actual law is that the secretary has to not have served in the military in the past 7 years. It specifically calls out they’re a civilian.
Most of them have had military experience though, it’s probably helpful.
I think it’s kind of random in USA history, wikpedia has a list of them and some do
There’s zero need to have civil leadership have military experience. That’s kind of the point, to create a buffer. Not that I think there aren’t plenty of disqualifying points for this chode, as he was appointed by Trump so that comes with the territory.
Bush had several with no military experience and Clinton had this one https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Danzig. Another had 2 years as a Lt.
I know it’d never happen, but seal team six is still standing by to protect us from threats inside and out.
The USSC gave biden the powers.
Is this the dude Colin Farrell was designed to be as The Penguin?
I don’t mind this. The rank and file will see this cunt for the fake that he is. Which is possibly the best outcome we can expect while under the rule of Putin’s bitch.
There are much more worthwhile outcomes to wish for, and to achieve.
Well, yes, it would be nice if the fucking moron voters elected someone whose allegiance is to the USA. But this is our reality. Expectations must be moderated. We are now in a struggle to simply preserve our country.
wonder how much this post cost.
And yet another blow struck for kakistocracy.
