MAGA only trusts personnel that makes them feel good about their life choices.

We're now the great Satan they called us.

Have no fear Capt Shitsitspants can cause a problem that he and only he can fix all within an hours time.

And a law degree!? And a psych test or two!?

Just look into your Fascist Mirror, Christianity Insanity! "Nazis." I hate these guys! Indiana Jones

What's Democratic about a jealous tyrant in the sky with petty anger issues, Christianity?🖕 What's Democratic about authoritarian, patriarchal, and misogynistic oppression, Republican Party?🖕 I try to be nice, but my honesty keeps getting in the fucking way!🖕

All Republican roads lead to Putin. 🖕 All Christian roads lead to Armageddon. 🖕 They even call it their Great Rapture.🖕 God's Chosen People gave us indoctrinated ignorance, pedophilia, incest, rape, genocide, slavery, and misogyny according to their own Holy Books!🖕 And Satan is the bad guy?

The greatest threat to US national and world security is Trump's MAGA Rapturous Apocalypytic Doomsday Cult having the Nuclear Keys to Armageddon!

Your GOP has been trying to dismantle our school systems forever. It’s to be expected. They have exceeded expectations. Look at our country now.

Having expert plans and contingency plans (and, oh following them) seems important too.

Instead we have Ignorance Incompetence Inepitude

Yes Education Experience Expertise

Broadly agreeing, we can't go back to the cloistered of the "intelligencia". Brains over hormones, but need to stay grounded in reality.

Just teaching kids critical thinking will be enough maybe?

Our current federal Government is being led by a bunch of Neanderthals

Decorated general with conflict experience for DOD & all the other military + all the recent made up departments. And an oversight committee NOT run by those same folks who desperately need overseeing.

This is so out of date, @radiofreetom.bsky.social is considering a follow up in comic book form. At this point anything might help.

and science and strategy and divided DC and accountability

Also, can we please have a WOMAN in charge for a fucking change?!!!

Thank you for this statement. I have been explaining this since January 2025. It's criminal destruction of our most important infrastructure, the brain drain.

“We” were never in disagreement on this point. “We” wanted the smart lady who laughed.

Listen to Adam, who is an alum of my department.

his pick to replace noem at dhs doesn’t even have a bachelor’s degree but they’re worried about black pilots… i know not everyone is cut out for college but if you can’t handle getting through college, you damn sure not qualified to be secretary of dhs!!

…as well as our service members are paying for it.

Well 'demonstrated intelligence' would do in a pinch. And that right away excludes the entire republican cult. Anyone dim and thoughtless enough to think THEY are the best idea going has demonstrated the opposite.

I wonder if that's the school Michael Cohen had to 'silence' for Trump. Will he tell us?

Bush II helped kill them. His ridiculously unfair No Child Left Behind (NCLB) mandated-testing took precious time away from curriculum options in #PublicEd to prep & going forward. Public schools/districts not meeting standards would lose funding. *GWBush would NEVER have met the standards to pass!

I've been on SM for a over of 14 yrs (1st on Twitt & now here). I'm telling you somewhere there has to be a school that teaches civics to HS students. From my POV it's in another country becuz the people who have been in Congress for the last 10 yrs are blithering idiots when it comes to civics.

You're preaching to the choir

Frank Zappa predicted the risk of democratic US being governed by a dictator candidate., but he didnt predict the fact that the man is a moron pedo.., due to misinformation n low levels of education...

They all got fired and replaced with sycophants

We Are Woke - DEI and Proud of it!

This happened because Social Media gave any moron a platform to go viral. We need SocMed reform… like yesterday…. Like maybe 10 years ago actually.

@adamkinzinger.substack.com you’re asking way too much: ✅ above 12th grade reading comp. ✅ knowledge of Middle East history & culture ✅ active diplomacy & intelligence of that region ✅ previous experience in strategic military offense/defense ✅ collaboration with others with the same experience

I agree John. 👏🏽

Just somebody with a modicum of intelligence (who can read and talk coherently, and demonstrate some social graces) would be an improvement on the present philistine.

Then why did your entire party call us the elites for decades and eschew intelligence and science while simultaneously dismantling public education? You conservative palemales hate the rest of us so much you only want your failsons to be educated.

Yes, but once their advice is ignored they will honor civilian control, even these civilians.

Intelligence is kryptonite to bullies and despots.

I thought it was Air Force something....?

Not Republicans.

Only after we agree that academic institutions have been serving fascism and a reckoning must be had

A great source: @theguardian.com

My unemployed brother would have handled this ten times better. There are at least 50 million Americans who could run foreign policy better than this guy.

In my 2nd book the fascists shutter the university. Rising fascism worldwide inspired me to write an allegorical trilogy on its perils: unjust war; failed democracy; race-based oppression. Get The Antunite Chronicles at bookstores & online with amazon.com/dp/B0B1JNBCTK?

Look, trump has to destroy the military before they figure out he's compromised.

Historians of war are less likely to encourage war mongering.

and keeping religion out of decision making in public office

Trump: “No other President did what I did by attacking Iran”. (There’s a reason for that) ! What an imbecile !

Many of us already know that having academics in government is important, especially academics who know the Constitution and support it.

having a soul would also help

Totally—if only there were smarter leadership in DC.

We have a f*cking idiot for a president. Release ALL of the files. Sorry Adam, my anger is not with you.

Nor is studying and understanding actual history, even if it hurts your feelings.

We’re way past that. our government is compromised. this fucking guy needs to be removed from office.

Post WW2 Japan we did the same things academics advised. Good results IMO.

At 83 this year, it feels like I, a retired teacher/RN know more reasons why we shouldn’t have attacked Iran than our military/government, that didn’t even think about Hormuz or the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

What was the point of advanced education and society if “men” like Trump/Putin/Bibi are just going to resort to the most primitive means to resolve issues? My kids were raised to be problem solvers, not fighters. These men are greedy cowards who will send others kids to fight while theirs get rich.

Experts feh

This is why they keep defunding education.

In all of the English speaking world, only in America is “academic” used as a synonym for “irrelevant.” And so here we are. . .

Hear, hear!

Confiscate and release the unredacted Epstein files. War, murder of citizens, prison camps, ICE-- all of it is a heinous distraction to keep us from seeing the truth. As if any one of these isn't enough to dismiss him, but it's the files that terrify him.

So challenging and frustrating to watch this play out. I only have one eye open at this point and the other is fighting me.

As an academic myself, I concur that academics are not a bad thing at all!!

Because Daddy paid their way. My sister works at a law school and the stories of the parents of kids whose LSAT scores were too low, but daddy was mad because he was a lawyer and his son needed to be one too.

America celebrates genocide every Thanksgiving In our schools

War is a money maker for the few and death to the many.

Mortality is a thing. But if they truly are trying make an authoritarian government, who will fill Trump's shoes when he is gone? What goes up must come down.

It can only be coming from the top. There can't be that many middle ranking politicians involved with Epstein. Seems Congress needs to tell their leaders to get fucked and do the right thing.

NEVER AGAIN should we EVER have a administration FULL of INCOMPETENTS.Shame on the GOP for lying about Trump for TEN YEARS and building him up and the DAMN media too!

The instant it happened- I knew what was coming. They knew, they just didn’t care.

And having a business degree does not prepare a person for the knowledge required to be a president. The last two BA presidents threw us over a fiscal Cliff and led us into a recession, plus both engaged in criminal Activity.

Jethroism is alive and awake ..........

Iran is just a symptom of something else. Something worse. A corrupt political system, which is based on its own enrichment, instead of working for the people of the United States. Today's politicians, regardless of party, will not change this! How can you not see this!

Dumpster always said he loves the uneducated.

🙌🙌🙌

Congress and Senate and Presidential candidates must pass same thorough background checks that anyone working for the Federal Govt. If they don't pass they cannot run. Period. All judges federal and state same. Presidential cabinet appointments same.

Definitely just not the suckers that joined Epstein, trump, and Putin.

But we didn't start the fire...

We could avoid future grief if there was a minimum requirement of having passed an in-depth psychological battery to identify personality aberrations in any candidates for office.

So putting the WWE sexual harasser’s wife in charge of our national education policies maybe wasn’t such a terrific, fantastic idea? Who knew? 🤷🏻‍♀️

if the shoe fits

HAS ANYONE RECOMMENDED AA FOR HEGSETH OR AN INTERVENTION 00 ~

Reagan started the defunding of our education system and republicans have continued that for over 40 yrs. Dumbing down Americans took work and time. And then they want this anti-education pusher on a coin. SMH

I would suggest that, at the very least, having a cabinet and other senior govt officials with a better understanding of, well, *everything*, than middle-schoolers from the bottom tail of the bell curve, should be a bare minimum.

Too late for that... Decades of ignorance has breed the American culture.

And MAGA DEI has been a disaster. Unqualified, incompetent ass kissers is a sure road to disaster.

What were your positions on Middle East wars prior?

Hell. At this point anyone with half a brain would be better than the ignorant fools partying on our tax dollars. I want each and every one of them arrested, convicted and hung.

That isn’t real is it? Dead funny though 😂🤣

And not fire the experienced professionals, to hire talk show hosts?

There’s a reason Officers are officers and ditch diggers are ditch diggers.

Who knew that understanding what you’re dealing with should affect decision making?! This admin is so bafflingly stupid.

And maybe tv hosts shouldn’t have access to bombs……Drew Carey not withstanding at least he was a Marine…..ooorah Semper Fi!!

Who needs academics when all your manly men are shod in ill-fitting Florsheims!

Trump is covering all the bases.

Remember the dumbest people in HS? They run the government now

Yes, and that looking smart on TV qualifies you for nothing more than TV.

Don't need no book-learned smartasses telling us real-world types what is what. We rely on true knowledge, our and the President's gut. That is all we need to know. He reads the tea leaves in his drawers many times a day.

If we still had phone books you could pick a couple of thousand people randomly out of your non existant phone book and get a better team than the Trump administration.

Neocons like weeds must be extracted down to their roots.

‘Businessmen’ in politics has never worked. The concepts of consensus, compromise and catering to the needs of those with the least power are anathema to them.

Our system has totally broken down.

Bravo.
