What’s also crazy is that there are people lining up saying “Surely that won’t also happen to me.”
“How much money can I steal from taxpayers before I get knifed in the back?”
Why does the political landscape of the supposed most powerful country in the world look more like what you’d expect if Charlie Brooker decided his next project was going to be a satirical gameshow? I want off this fucking timeline.
actually the people coming back know that he demands loyalty. they might have to sell part of their soul to be loyal, but they know that up front and are committed to doing it.
They are playing a different game.
They are not swimming with sharks but are the scavengers that get the leftovers.
Remember when he said he knew the best people before he chose his cabinet for his first term?
I love that his biggest criticism of Biden was that he doesn’t fire anyone. Firing someone means you failed to pick the right candidate. Biden didn’t fire anyone because he made good choices. Trump always has to fire people because he has no judgement of character. He just goes with whoever compliments him in that moment.
as a non american in America I’ve come to find that’s an American egregore: that firing people means you’re a good leader.
Nope, you are confusing Dumps reality TV show with actual reality. I guess it does get a little confusing as his whole presidency seems to be a parody. People who voted for him truly are some of the stupidest human beings to ever exist.
I’ve heard it as a criticism of Peter Thiel and others, and, as a manager edging towards director, I get asked about it in interviews too
In real life firing means you made the wrong pick and is not looked upon as a good thing unless you are a sociopath. I suppose if you came into a company to clean house some would view it as correct but they are probably shareholders who have perverse incentives.
Long story short, Americans don’t generally like bosses and don’t approve of firings unless it is obvious the choice was correct, for instance firing someone who is toxic.
Having had to fire someone as a director myself I would think it strange to be brought up in an interview and probably a red flag.
Personally, I agree with you. However last several organizations I’ve been in have had a “we trial you to see if you’re an A-player, and if not we next you” attitude
I am sorry that you have to deal with people like that. It sounds like their organizations are dysfunctional.
They don’t ask you about the edging direction? I’m assuming you don’t eventually cum on the director. So down your pants or do you want until you get home?
Also as a non-American who lived in America, you are spot on. American management culture seems to pride itself in childish power plays. Firing problem employees instead of working with them to resolve issues was becoming less acceptable, but it’s still the primary method of handling issues for some industries.
It’s crazy that most of the country looked at that and said either “I want that” or “That’s fine, I don’t care”.
They didn’t look at that. This is the frustrating truth we have to come to terms with. People are fucking oblivious. They vote for a single issue at most, and don’t understand what they signed up for.
It’s almost like someone has been systematically dismantling your education system for 50 or so years so they could reach this point.
It’s brexit mentality. People voted for change from the status quo.
Most don’t imagine that change
willcould make their lives worse.
A large chunk of the population gets their info from Fox News and News Max etc. Many of my extended family unfortunately. They think that is reliable information and can’t be convinced otherwise. When I try to bring up facts they give me this look like I’m the crazy one spreading the lies. It’s a really sad state of affairs, they are genuinely good people otherwise. I think there are too many assumptions that people just wanted what we’re about to get.
Stephen fucking Miller is tapped to return. The administration is shaping up to be more detestable than I could imagine. I’m waiting to see where the bottom goes from Betsy DeVoes as secretary of edu
Bold of you to think there will be a DoE to need a secretary.
Hulk Hogan for dept of education
& there’s a new group ready to replace the previous group
(as if none of that ever happened).
Life IS strange.
Guys not gonna lie I feel scared. I am not even American. I’m scared for all of you
In his defense, he probably has some members of his family returning to positions in the white house.

lol. Tbf I really wished that was true news about Melania. For a moment I started gaining respect for her.
I think there are a couple of people who could return… He’s still on ok terms with Roger Stone and the guy who just got out of prison, right?
Roger will never have an official position. But he’ll get paid big bucks for ratfucking.
I get the first two. Who did he try to have killed?
You know how there is that meme of “Epstein didn’t kill himself?”
I’m 99% sure Trump had a hand in it due to him being held in a federal prison and having plenty of dirt on him.
And the other was Pence on Jan. 6th when refusing to get into the secret service car until the results were certified.
Ah Pence, yes
The reason I can’t forget that is because there were three reasons he didn’t get in the car.
- He took his position seriously and would certify the vote.
- One of his secret service personnel told him directly “Do not get in that car, Mr. Vice President.”
- The secret service that showed up with the car wasn’t Pence’s detail, it was Trump’s.
Imagine having 3 not lead to 1.
That’s the crazy part? We are so far down the crazy rabitt hole this just seems like another diaper floating in the cess pool.
We haven’t heard about Ivanka and Jared yet.
This was always how it was gonna end. A century of warmongering and terrorizing the rest of the world is coming home to roost.
