      Well it’s not a meme (and I’d be told that immediately) so wasn’t sure where to go with it. Fortunately the rules of shitpost are that anything goes.

    I tell especially dumb children that are actively making mistakes that cost me time and money that they’re doing their best and that’s all that matters. It’s a lie and I’m pretty sure they know it but somehow that’s both a useful and reasonable reaction to have for the national security advisor.

      Children, or people still learning for that matter, deserve to told “hey, you did your best and you’ve made some progress”. Allegedly competent adults that fuck up adding people to a group chat about something as important as this deserve to be beaten around the head with anything available. Not told “great job buddy. Have a lollipop for your hard work”.

        We embrace the idea of human foibles and errors while we’re learning to do our work, when consequences are minor or contained. This is WHY we don’t make highly advanced positions in companies open to just anyone.

        When you get to the point that you’re making decisions about how you’re going to spend millions of taxpayer dollars to end the lives of a group of people who are impacting the world, I would dearly hope that you have “completed” your training in life and are not making mistakes anymore, I would dearly hope that the people making these decisions have so much practice and experience in these operations that they wouldn’t need a feel-better cookie for making a huge boo-boo.

        And yet here we are.

            I mean, to put it bluntly, they’re idiots who think they know more than they do because of the Dunning-Kruger effect. They didn’t pass tests or show qualifications for their positions, these are media personalities who were either elected by idiots or nominated by idiots. The system is flawed.

                Their ultimate goal (the ones who financed this administration if not the members themselves) have the clear goal of crashing the economy so they can reap it all up at a bargain, then when the markets recover, they will be holding a large portion of America’s material resources. To say nothing of whatever Putin is paying them to weaken our military standing. It could very well be a deliberate ploy to kill trust in our intelligence agency.

                But that would be way too smart for these clowns. It’s simply more likely that a lifetime of waging politics on social media and television doesn’t really prepare you for the exacting and demanding requirements of actual national security.
