    It’s not a PhD but the Centcom commander “is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and earned a master’s degree in Strategic Intelligence from the National Intelligence University. He studied international relations at Harvard and Tufts Universities,” so while I’m not a fan of him or anything, on paper at least he’s not as totally unqualified as the the other three morons.

    A long while ago, I was considering taking an MBA, until I talked to my friend’s dad of Iranian ancestry.

    I did not bring it up, in the middle of an unrelated conversation he just dropped that he was disappointed that his kid(bordering 40s) was not a PhD, and how MBAs are ruining the world.

    Every single people of Persian ancestry I met in my life takes education very seriously, maybe not so much the younger ones as they only aim for a master’s degree and hurt their parents feelings. :P

      Business degree is worse than nothing imo. All the debt, all the indoctrination, very little exposure to anything potentially educational or enlightening. Come out of a program like that as a certified yes-man with bills to pay, the shame it brings to your family is just the tip of the iceberg

    On the way over, Vance compared this negotiation to the time he told Usha she was not allowed to go skydiving.

    That did not give me confidence in the outcome.

        Jared Kushner would be useful enough as a fencepost you would just need a whole lot of them to make a fence obviously.

      Just another swampbaby nepobaby:

      Netanyahu has long been a friend of the Kushners, and particularly Jared’s dad, Charles Kushner, a major donor to pro-Israel and Jewish causes. One time, Kantor reports – she doesn’t specify when – Jared gave up his bed and moved to the basement so Netanyahu could spend the night at their home in Livingston, New Jersey.

    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.

    When the US sends its people, we’re not sending our best. We’re not sending you. We’re not sending you. We’re sending people that have lots of problems, and we’re bringing those problems with us. We’re bringing drugs. We’re bringing crime. We’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

    Original Trump quote:

    When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

    Seems fitting here

    Trumps son in law getting work from him is outrageous. Utterly indefensible

    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.

    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.

    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.
