Selected for loyalty, not for their performance.

Happy to see so many women in top positions.

Why have competent people with independent thoughts in positions of power, if you can have loyal people who do what you tell them to?

I bet you those americans pose like it's nobody's business though. All the current us power folks seem to be in cosplay mode. Acting like what they see on TV, not acting like real people.

If I were the Centcom Commander in this picture I would have done a retake.

He doesn't look nearly bloodthirsty or alcoholic enough to properly represent the US military.

Parasites all of them, special the USA one.

How does one become a failed author? Is that even possible?

[–] davad@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Right a book that no one reads?

Does Amazon publishing count?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

You know it doesn't.

Does the current US administration have a 'best' to send? It really seems like we should be framing this as 'least worst' and even that phrasing confers too much positivity.

Trump is a skidmark, but so is this comparison. Apples to oranges.

JD Vance is a piece of shit and I'm sure his book(s) suck, but is it truly failure if Netflix buys a film based on your book?

Did Amazon make a documentary about Melania Trump because she was so fascinating and her life needed to be recorded?

[–] Aermis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes. Netflix isn't buying it because they believe it's good. It's always business and it's good business (at least it was) to be involved in maga money. Look at Melania movie. Doesn't make sense at all to exist.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I would define success other than financial but I'm not Netflix nor most people

Also Melania is a bad example. Seems like it flopped despite having every advantage

Let me preface this with "Fuck the trump cabinet, they are both evil and unqualified".

But the thing I never understood is the need to have people with Degrees in leadership positions. A PHD doesn't exactly mean you are smart or a good leader, it just means you were privileged enough to study for 7+ years without starving. Especially since the degrees usually barely overlap with their respective areas.

The only thing it brings us is a bunch of rich privileged assholes in charge that all have never worked a job other than "business consultant" in their lives.
