    All he needs to do is raise his eyebrow at a terrorist and they die of cringe.

        That’s been a thing for a decade or more. Twitter journalism is the lowest form of journalism. Right below listicles.

    I guess since I’m not on Reddit anymore, I can just say what I feel — this kid almost certainly has wall-to-wall glass curio cabinets filled with resin hentai figurines.

          Fun fact, the “bald eagle screech” as depicted in media is actually the sound of a red-tailed hawk. Bald eagles actually sound more like seagulls.

      Yeah, the Iranian government will probably just take it as the prank it was meant to be. Just boys being boys! No need to get revenge.

      /S, dummy.

        my point is that the narrative is being used to justify war with Iran: “we need to attack them harder before they get their revenge!”

        by talking about “Iranian terrorists” as if that’s an actual threat, the media is contributing to that justification for war

          Iran has been funding probably most of the terror groups you’ve seen in the news. Not that far fetched

    WHY did he get this job?

    If the roles were reversed, Republicans would be cynically asking who he slept with to get this job. He’s clearly not a wealthy donor.

      No, they’d be asking who his parents paid off. They only ask who someone “slept with” to get a position when they’re a woman. And especially if they’re a woman of color.

      I remember Republicunts suggesting Kamala Harris gave Biden a blowjob for the VP spot. They never made those insinuations with Biden as Obama’s VP, or with Tim Kaine as Hillary’s running mate, because they were both men.

      They’re disgusting, wretched, awful pieces of shit.

    He looks at least 28 years old. Not that looking old further diminishes him.

    “As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention,” Murphy wrote — referring to Fugate. “22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.”

    Woohoo.
