Do you think Erika Kirk could even describe to you how airplanes fly with a basic grade school explanation?

    At this rate, some rando will become the Ghengis Khan of America, simply because all possible opposition is so fucking stupid.

      I remember going to the Air Force Academy as a kid when we went to visit my aunt who’d moved to Colorado Springs for work. We did the tour, and the guide said that it was one of the hardest schools in the world to get into. I have the feeling admissions will soon be based on your X posts and how many Trump coins you have. Fucking gross.

    She chose a career over her relationship. I thought we were supposed to support feminism?

    And what exactly are the qualifications of some former beauty pageant winner and widow of some dead far-right racist, anti-science, anti-intellectual monster to be in such a position?

      Hey it could be a DUI hire like others too…I don’t know much about her if that could be accurate but if she’s going with that ship she’s a fucking douche. No one with any sense of morality would ever accept a position from them.

      Funny how apparently all the ‘christian/godly’ (outspoken ones) types are attaching themselves to the apparent anti Christ. Well probably not literally but the description fits 1:1 and I’m an atheist but I think the Bible had a good description of that charlaton.

      I recall reading some old philosopher and they described the worst person, it was Trump. I could never find it again forget but it was Plato or Aristotle I think. There have always been those types in all of history. Somehow the US was hoodwinked into actually giving him power, rather than run him off like the snake oil salesmen he is.

        I’m not religious either, but I’m aware of the core principles of Christianity. Trump is the embodiment of greed, and goes heavily against what the Bible teaches, look no further than “love thy neighbor.” He actively goes against that core principle daily. I’m sure someone has done a full write up of all the things trump has done that’s against the Bibles teachings, yet these Bible loving “”“Christians”“” swear he’s the second coming of Jesus and was appointed by god.

        It’s a cult, plain and simple. Christians follow him because a good amount of them are conservative, because their believe is only surface level. It’s only faith when it’s convenient and “against gods wishes or whatever” when it’s against their conservative beliefs.

        Christians that belive trump is the greatest and sent to us by god haven’t read the same fucking book they’re constantly quoting, they’re hypocrites and traitors to themselves and their supposed beliefs. He is in fact the antichrist according to these people’s own book.

        This is the true Trump Derangement Syndrome, because once again, every accusation is a confession of the Repulikkkan party.

          “Could American Evangelicals spot the Antichrist?”

          The answer is, resoundingly: no, they cannot, despite having an entire Where’s Waldo-esque guide to spotting him listed in their holy book that they love to claim to have read.

          I’m an atheist (reading the Bible critically will do that to you); and even I readily recognize that Trump, and men just like him, were explicitly called out and warned against in Revelations, among other chapters.

            You’ve missed the point, they KNOW he’s the antichrist. They need him to be to get to heaven without actually dying. I’m the child of old conservative evangelical christian ministers, and I can tell you at 80+ they are more terrified of dying that any other single thing.

        I’m making fun of how republikkkans claimed people were hired for DEI not their skills, yet of course it’s a projection. The entire cabinet is unqualified

        I assumed the sarcasm was obvious

    I wonder if she will have a nice couch in her office for Vance when he visits.

    On a more serious note, it is amazing how well her husbands killing has worked out for her professionally.

    What is she going to bring to the table here? How to grift off a dead husband you didn’t love, abandon your children to grift, and be the side chick of a guy who fucks couches?

      Her ability to crank the afterburners on benefitting in her career from her husband dying has impressed even the Air Force’s most aggressive fighter pilots.

      Only the toughest Warfighters can execute such high-Greed maneuvers.

      Screen presence, kinda attractive, sycophant, rich (ish). Ya’know, the only criteria he gives a fuck about.
