Jesus fucking Christ, it’s like they’re TRYING to embarrass our entire nation from every single department possible. 10 years ago this would’ve amused me more than anything, even if only slightly. But now? Everyday is just another brand new stupid example of our own incompetence with somewhere around a 50/50 split between embarrassing and infuriating. I’ve never been a gung-ho, America-first, capital-P “Patriot”, but I never would’ve even conceived that we would sink so low so quickly; every new rock-bottom simply becomes a new surface-layer to be strip-mined of any remaining shred of dignity, empathy, and humanity
Any other country would employ people with basic knowledge who would spot this at once. But Trump (with the help of Musk and a handful of fratboys) fired anyone like that. Knowledge, expertise and competence are a negative in their eyes. They want ignorant sycophants only.
