It's good to know that incompetence is still the guiding principle of the Trump administration 👍

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

Both administrations, and their entire circle of sycophants in general.

I honestly think they should let JD Vance try it for fun, because he will 100% get disbarred and admonished 🤣

[-] Weirdmusic@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

No, no you don't want Vance to have a crack at it. No matter what you say about Vance (eg: he's a snivelling little arse puppet who's so far up Drumps' arse you'd need an entire army expedition to locate him) he's also intelligent and knows how to get things done. The absolute worst thing that could happen to the good ol' US of A would be someone as corrupt and as fascist as Drump but who knows how to use the system to his advantage taking over and actually succeeding.

As far as Vance's competence goes, remember that he was behind the "Did you even say thank you?" bullshit with Zelenskyy, and he has also been a major backer of the current bad joke of a peace plan (aka Putin's wish list).

Besides self-promotion, and writing a dishonest book about his upbringing, what has he ever actually done?

He’s got Thiel and probably a few other billionaires puppeteering him, and unlike Trump, has the mental capacity to follow their orders.

That says more about his morals than his mental capacity.

[-] Rothe@piefed.social 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

He is more competent than Trump, but that says literally nothing about his competence. There is absolutely no evidence that he is "intelligent".

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

The only thing preventing a Vance administration is Mr Trump's survival to term.

But if burger king is still a thing then we're all facked.

Beauty will always trump competence.
