Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Dang, I had put my money on rich daddy donor. (edit: that could still be right...)
I mentioned this in some other threads, but this guy has to have influential/wealthy parents or an uncle or a sugar daddy or something.
It would be one thing if he was some kind of GOP genius (an oxymoron, I know). But the articles make it sound like he's just a guy.
Which tingles my spideysense into thinking he must be a nepobaby.
That ... and his fucking face. Seriously. What a punchable, arrogant face.
He has one of those faces you can bisect vertically and flip from each side to make two completely different faces.
Despite lacking direct experience in counterterrorism, DHS officials cited his work ethic in justifying his rapid promotion.
Does hours played in CS:GO count?
Please that's a feeder if I ever seen one
I'm gonna need to see his dad's resume.
He is trumps bastard.
We are so very fucked. Get out if you can.
That guy looks like he shits diamonds.
Hellooooo GILEAD
Definitely some heavy Nick vibes, ngl. If MAGA wasn't such a moronic movement, I'd think it intentional. Here's to hoping he has less plot armor than his fictitious friend.
yea that eyebrow photo says he is gonna self destruct in a year or so
"This Summer...Rob Schneider is..." whatever this is.
6 hrs later.. being the change
I see that the article is misinformed:
Donald Trump appointed 22-year-old Thomas Fugate as the new fall guy at the DHS Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3), which combats terrorism and hate violence.
Fugate, who graduated in 2024, previously worked as a grocery store clerk and self-employed landscaper.
Mr. Trump said in press briefing that Mr. Fugate has the perfect combination of inexperience, stupidity and trust in the GOP, to be manipulated in taking the fall when the current administration's policies will be shown to have failed: "He is exactly the kind of young person this administration needs."
He looks intrigued.
There's definitely a Moriarty vibe going on.
How the hell are we ever supposed to take this country seriously again?
Oh, that's all over now.
I think the real questions were asked by another poster in another thread, who are his parents and how much did they pay to get him this ride?
What we were hoping for:
what we got:
Is he trying to copy Trump's official glare? Cringe.
Also, why can't I be appointed to a random high-level government job? I actually have government experience.
It sounds like the problem is that you have too many working brain cells. You’ll need to kill about 90% of them off to qualify with this administration.
Damn, shouldn't have quit drinking
You got any connections to big fascism?
I actually have government experience.
Well that disqualifies you for this administration to begin with
I was gonna say he looks like something has just touched his butthole and he's not sure what it might be.
"Work ethic" Okay, who'd this guy have to fuck for this?
Considering his age there's a good chance that in the not too distant past it was actually him on the other end.
wtf is he trying to do with his face?
Look I hate AI, but someone has to do that face blending thing between these three chucklefucks..
Did he work at the prestigious Four Seasons Total Landscaping?
All these random picks. Like im shocked I was randomly offered the a job in the mail by now.
Another high quality hire for a high quality administration.
oÓ
Someone should photoshop him holding a cat up to his chest in this photo
Classic cheesy 60s era Bond villain
Such an easy way he found to show us he's an "attempt to gaslight her into thinking she did orgasm, actually" vibes kinda guy
At least it’s not kid rock.
If I ever saw this guy, I'd dump his backpack and take his lunch money
Picture matches the tone of the hiring perfectly. Let him keep the job. I want to see how this plays out.
With this level of incompetence, first terror attack should lead to EXECUTIONS.
Boy, there's a face only his mother could love.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT NEVER
His last name is two letters away from being fugazi.
