It seems ironic that all of trump’s picks are what conservatives complained about being DEI hires.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 77 points 2 months ago

Accusations, confessions, etc.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 33 points 2 months ago

I feel like this isn't visceral enough.

It's so insanely true, but people don't understand... When they accuse someone of something, they're about to do it, if they aren't doing it already

I think this is why I found myself sobbing when my personal AI assistant called me human too many times...

[-] BossDj@lemm.ee 31 points 2 months ago

Holy fuck, today I heard Trump say, "we're going to go into Fort Knox and see if someone stole the gold" and without skipping a beat, my brain immediately went to "this guy is literally going to steal gold from Fort Knox." Because of course he is

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 3 points 2 months ago

Yup. I had the exact same reaction - there's no way they come out of there and say anything other than "some amount of the gold is missing"

The only question is are they going to follow that up with "and so we're moving it to the Whitehouse for safekeeping" or are they going to walk out of there with $ print sacks

And the insane part is I can say the first part, and most people will agree. Everyone knows on some level that Trump will "find" any problem he goes looking for, reality be damned.

But say "he's totally going to steal the gold" and suddenly it's a bridge to far. He's a billionaire, why does he need it? That's absurd, the president wouldn't rob fort Knox. He's just auditing for corruption.

And honestly, solid chance a lot of the gold is missing already. But either way, in a few months we're going to see him using a gold brick as a paperweight and a lot of people will still try to explain it away

You're not a human. You're a fox.

[-] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

You're not so bad yourself, Genius. 😉

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

They live a life of hypocrisy. They're the in-crowd allowed to do all of the things the rest of us are not, because we're not part of the cult.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago

It's utterly bizarre that this is what we, as a society, have chosen for ourselves.

Fuck.

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago

Enough of us that this is what we have to experience, anyway.

[-] spooky2092 6 points 2 months ago

That, and a gerontocracy. Which, probably explains how we got to be in a kakistocracy....

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Odd how similar “kekistan” sounds.

I thought RFK Jr. was a doctor. Looked it up. He's a doctor of law. No medical experience.

[-] GarrulousBrevity@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Well, he's really qualified because of his podcasting. Actually, now that I think about it, that's a theme

[-] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 months ago

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Trump picks people from a few lists:

  1. Republicans with a strong presence on social media.
  2. Whoever wrote the relevant bit of Project 2025.
  3. People plausibly accused of being Russian assets.

And for Donnie that's top qualification for a position he knows nothing about.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 36 points 2 months ago

Patel already has the thousand yard stare

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

That looks like a mugshot, lol!

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

Must have been helluva two months

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 6 points 2 months ago

The man saw some shit. Also how did he escape DEI targetism and pretend to be a white old man?

Kash absolutely looks like he lied his way to the top and has no idea what he is doing or how he got there.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Does he always look like a deer in headlights or is this just a bad ~~mug~~headshot?

When they say "DEI" it's an euphemism for the N-word...

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

“Not white male”

Ask yourself... If Putin was President of America and wanted to destroy 200 years of progress, who would he put in charge of the various departments... And then this all makes sense.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Well, he'd put people he has direct control over in those positions, but this is the next best thing.

[-] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Like Tulsi Gabbard, JD Vance, MTG, Candace Owens, ticker Carlson, Bannon, Gaetz, Gossar, etc?

[-] RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

Are we sure Patel doesn't have experience? Fucker looks like he has seen some shit. God what a weird stare.

[-] gamer@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

I've always thought he looked like an actual crazy person. Most people in Trump's orbit are likely just pretending to be crazy, but Patel always looks like a cornered animal with a gun.

[-] moseschrute@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

When was the last time RFK actually looked like that photo

[-] aeternum 5 points 2 months ago

you mean alive and not half dead?

[-] nickiwest@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I'm guessing it was before the "left a bear carcass in Central Park" episode.

Patel sure sounds like a minority name to me.. so WOKE! /s

[-] Dhs92@programming.dev 16 points 2 months ago

Why does RFK Jr look like he's been airbrushed to hell and back

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago

Probably because he has 🤷

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 months ago

In the eyes of MAGA, the only qualification is loyalty to Trump.

[-] BlurryBits 14 points 2 months ago

Patel looks like he just saw God in the middle of a coke-binge.

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 13 points 2 months ago

“A pensioner, a woman and a n… brown person. I’ll be gay if they ain’t DEI”

[-] fogelmensch@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

To be fair: Linda kicked Vince in the balls at least once

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

they have a lot of experience in scamming people, that should count for something

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Does "belonging behind bars" count as law enforcement experience?

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Hello Americans. What is DEI?

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

"Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion", effectively a term for anti-discrimination measures employed by organizations.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

To add to PugJesus' comment, it's also a term that the far right uses for anything they don't like, same as "woke."
