    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 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.

        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.

    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.

      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.

    … a businessman …

    And there it is, again, the deification of the “businessman” - as if that is something that is a qualification.

    FFS.

    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.

    You’d think after the last term that the idea of running the US as a business should be unpopular. It is decidedly not a business (though it can be used for profit, which is the major problem here).

    It’s almost like Trump voters had no clue what they were voting for. Or they did, but they had no clue what it meant.

      no almost like, it’s exactly what it is.
