And… ???
Are you questioning either man’s loyalty and devotion to the Glorious Leader and relevant minion?
That’s the only qualification that matters these days.

NYT article on the latest crop of hires at the Department of Justice, where they’ve had to relax standards to fill open positions (gift link):

Is this what affirmative action looks like now in the US?
Kind of amusing that Rubio’s calling for stronger alliances amonst Western Nations as his government continuously blows up those alliances.

Every accusation is a confession.
That is how they operate now.
Maybe Rubio’s end game is to get some cush private sector job, because I heard he’s gotta lotta debts to repay.
If he really does make a serious run for president it would be a reflection of sad times
These guys are sick people.

Less encumbered version:
At least it isn’t (yet) a proposal to make it a pay-per-view show.
Do it on the White House lawn?
Christen the ballroom.
I’d rather have it be pay per view so kids don’t accidentally watch it.
It will be interesting to see how many folks view this execution.
I was hoping this was an instance of a news story going viral because folks were interpreting the term “public” too broadly (i.e., “anyone on base can witness it” vs “we’re going to televise it”)
Of course, it sounds like it is what folks think it is.

If it’s live streamed, it’s getting out. My middle schooler had classmates who watched the footage of Charlie Kirk being shot, now we’ll have tweens seeing a man in a wheelchair get executed by the government. Great.

Well, it’s been said before, the world is a stage
A different performance with every age
Open the history book to any old page
Bring on the lions and open the cage
Give the people what they want!
You gotta give the people what they want!
The more they get, the more they need
And every time they get harder and harder to please
The Roman promoters really did things right
They needed a show that would clearly excite
The attendance was sparse so they put on a fight
Threw the Christians to the lions, sold out every night
Give the people what they want!
You gotta give the people what they want!
The more they get, the more they need
And every time they get harder and harder to please
Give 'em lots of sex, perversion and rape
Give 'em lots of violence, and plenty to hate
Give the people what they want
Give the people what they want
Hey, hey, hey!

When Oswald shot Kennedy, he was insane
But still we watch the re-runs again and again
We all sit glued while the killer takes aim
“Hey Mom, there goes a piece of the president’s brain!”
Give the people what they want!
You gotta give the people what they want!
Blow out your brains, and do it right
Make sure it’s prime time and on a Saturday night
You gotta give the people what they want
You gotta give the people what they want
Give the people what they want!
Give the people what they want!
Give the people what they want!
