This is so fucking gross

Trump is like the sports team owner who keeps hiring managers who have recently been fired for leading their team to the bottom of the standings. They may be lousy managers but at least they’ll never talk back to the owner.

So not a librarian.

Sorry, I know we can't control our appearances but this guy looks like a mugshot for someone arrested after shooting a guard dog and trying to steal an ATM machine.

I can think of few people that have less credibility as a librarian. Laughable!

I've never known a grown man so terrified of strong, black women!

Trump removed Carla Hayden, a professional librarian with a PhD in library science, and put in a Trump loving attorney as acting Librarian of Congress. Talk about a downgrade. What are they thinking?

Todd's face looks like he needs a snack bar🍫 what a grump

Doesn’t he already have a job? Trump expecting people to fill multiple positions when he can’t do one.

I'm out of*cks

Since the post requires Senate OK, “Acting” will avoid that? Since they also fired the Patent Office Register (because she refused to allow Musk’s AI to scrape all the patent info), does that mean the “Acting Librarian of Congress” can also appoint an “acting” Register so Elon can get what he wants?

Meritocracy!

Yeah, he looks like an educated, well schooled guy who loves to learn, explore, and engage with the world of knowledge.

I hope LOC is making hard copy backups of everything, and “losing” keys to storage rooms Blanche will want to visit.

So no degree in library and information science. Or museum services. Got it.

Didn't he lose that one (among several other cases)?

Somebody better be there 24/7 or who knows what he will destroy.

What does he have on Trump?

Hope the Library of Congress staff continue to refuse access to replacement employees.

Oh FFS

Trump saw him holding a stack of papers once and said wow this guy likes reading

The dudes name is literally Todd White and he's got zero qualifications. Par for this shitty course.

The New DEI: Donald Employs Ill-Qualified

@rollingstone.com "This is going in the inviolate congressional space to access their information," the expert says. "We know that when Trump and the DOGE people have gone elsewhere, the first thing done is they exfiltrated their data." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... #LibraryOfCongress

Who is going to stop him? Republicans don't care or are scared stiff. Our country is going to hell because of him and them.

Trump can't appoint someone from the Executive Branch as an acting director for a Legislative Branch position. You can't have an Executive Branch person in the Legislative Branch at the same time. It's illegal.

Well, they don't hold with book-larnin', so probably indefinitely.

How long will spineless Republicans remain silent? Until Assolini is carted off to a dementia facility or dies.

Until the #coup is complete...

She will get WAY more to lobby now

I'm guessing because Trump didn't pay him for his legal services

They're getting paid under the table.

Destroying liberal democracy is it’s own reward

she can get a lot more than $150k a month after this.

Don’t get rich on insider trading when you are on the outside. That salary means no one damn thing to them.

lol that’s their “on the books” salary only

Elon does. The Library is a gold mine of data.

“Former Attorney General” sells a lot more books, gets higher speaking fees, higher lobbying fees, and a better chance at a multimillion dollar actual contract to host a show on Fox News.

He can destroy the Library of Congress for our new dictator. His pay will come in other forms and jobs.

He's not taking a pay cut. He's getting an extra $200k a year for doing nothing.

Who controls the past controls the future, who controls the present controls the past.

Why do you think? Just look at Trump for your answers.

Oh another one that needs disbarment. These people should be in jail!

Oh look another unqualified DWO (Demanding White Only) replacement hire in the Trump Admin

Trump only knows crooks and con men, so why are we surprised by his appointments?

Oh, the ignoramitude! "Unqualified" is the only qualification for a Trump appointment.

Putting in place your defense attorney who has no background and already has a job. Is this fear, hatred of government, or just disdain?

Porn is considered literary research now? Good to know.

Is this how he's paying his lawyers?

Let's mention that Congress controls this position in headlines. Thanks!

Marco Rubio wasn’t available?

Another prostrate exam

Oh God! The Trump regime is all about nepotism and cronyism.

Yes. Which is why they hate DEI so much.

Autocrats cannot trust just anyone, so they’ll stick to family (provided they’re not completely useless) and associates, whether they’re competent or not. They can lose his case in court but as long as they’re successful in delaying it so it eventually gets dropped, that’s passable to him.

>> Boy, you want to be up at the front of the line when the capo di tutti capi hands out the spoils. This guy is [arguably] an attorney. He was probably hoping for a high-ranking position in the DOJ; but instead, he gets to spend more time in the library... <<

Every day is worse than yesterday

At least this one isn't a drunk TV host. Right?

He probably can’t even read. Let’s start posting these people’s credentials as such and making them go viral Here’s an example

DEI is being replaced with NCC. Nepotism Cronyism Corruption

Where did he get is degree in library sciences?

What possible qualifications can this lawyer have that the highly qualified woman you fired did not have? Asking for a friend.

His every insane appointment is the modern equivalent of Caligula appointing his horse to the Senate. He IS Caligula 2.0.

Well, he looks like a librarian. One of those guys in prison who pushes the cart around with books.

I thought he was deputy attorney general.

Black accomplished woman bad, white mediocre man good. Do I have this right?

The losing defense attorney.

Trump's Confederacy of Dunces and Corruption continues to grow.

Why do I sense a purge is going to happen in the LOC?

Hahahahahahaha

Well, people We have crossed the abyss from *just* stupid and silly — to deeply, deeply dangerous 🚨 Don’t let me say something indictable on that whole Jeanine Pirro debacle …

Good grief. Even his name is ‘white’.

Are these guys wearing multiple hats earning multiple salaries?

Wtaf?

Another servile white man

As a person that works in a library, WTH?!?

That's just sickening 🤮.

WHAT???

Corruption and racism, all day, every day, with full media backup.

Smh.

They’re going to plunder the artifacts and destroy centuries of impossible to replace history.

And working to keep him there.

Disgusting.

Unqualified lickspittles everywhere

Another completely unqualified Trump appointee. Senate Republicans: could we hold out for ONE qualified Trump app? Just ONE?

Another unqualified appointment

DEI is standing in the way of Nepotism.

Great choice. Will fit in perfectly.

Is this legal?

Imbecile.

WTH? No qualifications.

Merriam-Webster: Blanched “to become white” UH HUH.

Another grifter with no experience, no credentials, and no clue how to run a government department that he has no idea where it's located or what it does. Nice seeing Trump implementing the new Republiscum DEI programs of supporting the ignorant and unqualified to get jobs in government.

Could have been another blonde bimbo talking head from Fox News.

Was that his minor in school? Or are we just completely lacking expertise and going proximity, obedience? Merit based…right?

And when will Blanche have the time to do the job? Librarian of Congress is not a sinecure.

This dude looks like he wants to burn some books. Is he even a librarian lol that is a rhetorical question folks!

Don Jr Eric Ivanka

No one wants to work for this guy at all. It’s either that or he has a very very very small circle of people he trusts.

Lord aren’t we done with this yet!!?? 🤮

And does he have any qualifications at all for the job?

True.

*pretending to name

Dude’s name means “white.” Subtle.
