Wait: this same fucking kid is also in charge of preventing school shootings now?!! …[The role includes] the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships. Known as CP3, the office has led nationwide efforts to prevent hate-fueled attacks, school shootings & other forms of targeted violence.”

Yeah, this kid looks more like he's on the supply side of school shootings. Heh. If the "job" stresses him out enough and his fellow MAGAs bully him enough... maybe he'll go to work one day and surprise us.

I was downtown on 9/11. I’ll have medical problems for life because of it, & they put a fucking 22yr old in charge of Terrorism Prevention for the country. While also bringing drug cartels under DHS’s purview. Think this idiot kid can stand up to drug cartels? Fentanyl? Actual terrorism?

At what point will the greater public stop passively watching this like the running of our country is just another shitty reality tv show they can roll their eyes at, maybe have a little chuckle, and then turn off the tv, unaffected, at their will?

Thanks for reporting @propublica.org “…a candidate that green wouldn’t have gotten an interview for a junior position, much less be hired to run operations. According to LinkedIn, the bulk of Fugate’s leadership experience comes from having served as secretary general of a Model United Nations club

This is another outrageously bad hiring. It wouldn’t matter if he were a genius, this type of role is about managing people and programs that can save lives of done well. No 22 year old has the experience. Period. But let’s not lose site of the most dangerous Trump hire

Doesn't anyone in the MAGA circle have enough love of country to say, "As much as I would love to be of service, I don't possess the knowledge or experience to accept this position"?

Everyone involved (other than a small handful of true believers) has to be either too naive to realize they’re probably going to prison or too old to care

They need a new generation to continue their fascist empire into the future. Trump himself may care little but the people influencing his administration are playing the long game as they always have. Seeding government with young racists is key to that.

Pretty obvious that Trump and his cronies think that acts of domestic terrorism plays to their advantage politically, especially when committed by immigrants. Why try to stop it?

The majority of the people that have been hired under this administration wouldn’t have passed a phone screen for a job with a major corporation let alone actually get an interview and the position

If this doesn't scare the crap out of you, I don't know what will. This is lunacy. Complete madness! And remember: Elected Republicans are LETTING this happen. They clearly think they live in some sort of a protective bubble. Fools! 🤪🤡🤪 🤡🤪
