It was all the fault of the Weimar Republic.

Another worthwhile article by Wehner.

Sigh:

Stephen Moore, who serves on Trump’s economic council to reopen the country, said, “So this is a great time, gentlemen and ladies, for civil disobedience. We need to be the Rosa Parks here, and protest against these government injustices.”

A new go-getter enters the ring, straight out of college (well, Liberty U) with a chip on her shoulder and something to prove. She even got a 5 on her AP Government test!

6574

You take those tests in high school.

6575

This kid was in high school 4 years ago so it checks out. At least they’ve been to high school I guess. Trump could just start picking random followers to help run things.

6577

Well, yeah. But couldn’t they at least find a Falwell, Jr favorite who also pulled a 5 on the APUSH?

6578

How do you get a 5 on AP government and then decide Trump is a guy you want to work for

6579

Gotta understand a system to be able to abuse it.

6580

I feel like you’re assuming he didn’t cheat, which would be a mistake.

6581

Honestly, at her age, I’d have taken the job. Even if I felt Trump was a complete doofus. Getting a job like that, with “director” in the title, as the first post-college job is quite a career jumpstart.

6582

True. At 45 I’ve only had one ‘director-level’ job and it was at a company so small I basically could name my own title.

Still, so much of what deeply offends me about Trump is based on what I learned about the American system of government, and I never learned enough to even try taking an AP test in the subject.

6583

I suspect that a Liberty University alum would be inclined to see getting a job in the Trump Administration would be akin to getting a job in the Theocracy of the Jesu-nited States of America, which would be a pretty sacred feather in her hat or wimple or whatever.

So was Azar really incompetent, or is he being set up as a fall guy.

(I know, why not both!)

6586

That’s the beauty of surrounding yourself with incompetent sycophants.

They’re guaranteed to fuck up and give you someone to blame.

6587

He was assuredly incompetent, but so is everyone else Trump brings on.

Which somehow works for him because people are stupid.

6588

Hooray!

6589

More of the same. We need to fix this in November and then clean house.
