On the way over, Vance compared this negotiation to the time he told Usha she was not allowed to go skydiving.
That did not give me confidence in the outcome.

Trump is a skidmark, but so is this comparison. Apples to oranges.
How does one become a failed author? Is that even possible?
Don't get published.
Does Amazon publishing count?
You know it doesn't.
Right a book that no one reads?
That better be a purposefully ironic spelling mistake.
Lmao right?
Lol unfortunately that is their best
It's not a PhD but the Centcom commander "is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and earned a master’s degree in Strategic Intelligence from the National Intelligence University. He studied international relations at Harvard and Tufts Universities," so while I'm not a fan of him or anything, on paper at least he's not as totally unqualified as the the other three morons.
Look, nobody's perfect. I'm sure once Hegseth finds out he'll quickly rectify his mistake and kick him out in favor of a less qualified sycophant.
Well they need to take back his degree. He and his bosses royally fucked this.
A long while ago, I was considering taking an MBA, until I talked to my friend's dad of Iranian ancestry.
I did not bring it up, in the middle of an unrelated conversation he just dropped that he was disappointed that his kid(bordering 40s) was not a PhD, and how MBAs are ruining the world.
Every single people of Persian ancestry I met in my life takes education very seriously, maybe not so much the younger ones as they only aim for a master's degree and hurt their parents feelings. :P
Business degree is worse than nothing imo. All the debt, all the indoctrination, very little exposure to anything potentially educational or enlightening. Come out of a program like that as a certified yes-man with bills to pay, the shame it brings to your family is just the tip of the iceberg
I took a few MBA graduate level courses because a job was paying for them. The professors really didn't like it when you trash the entire premise they are trying to teach.
Now the economics professor was fun. He had a better understanding of statistics and the inherent data integrity issues, biases, and heavy reliance on correlation that plagues the field.
Does the current US administration have a 'best' to send? It really seems like we should be framing this as 'least worst' and even that phrasing confers too much positivity.
Selected for loyalty, not for their performance.
If I were the Centcom Commander in this picture I would have done a retake.
He doesn't look nearly bloodthirsty or alcoholic enough to properly represent the US military.
Jared Kushner reminds me of a fencepost.
He's a thrift store mannequin, complete with a little bulge where his junk should be.
A fencepost is actually useful.
Jared Kushner would be useful enough as a fencepost you would just need a whole lot of them to make a fence obviously.
Your spelling almost blew a vein in my forehead
Well played!

The only real "DEI" hire we should be worried about.
He's not just a failed author, he's also a couch fucker extraordinare. Give the man some credit!
dolphin mating video gooner too
Why have competent people with independent thoughts in positions of power, if you can have loyal people who do what you tell them to?
Happy to see so many women in top positions.
sus
I bet you those americans pose like it's nobody's business though. All the current us power folks seem to be in cosplay mode. Acting like what they see on TV, not acting like real people.
Parasites all of them, special the USA one.
Probably took a private jets too
Gold buddy?
Typo - golf buddy
Let me preface this with "Fuck the trump cabinet, they are both evil and unqualified".
But the thing I never understood is the need to have people with Degrees in leadership positions. A PHD doesn't exactly mean you are smart or a good leader, it just means you were privileged enough to study for 7+ years without starving. Especially since the degrees usually barely overlap with their respective areas.
The only thing it brings us is a bunch of rich privileged assholes in charge that all have never worked a job other than "business consultant" in their lives.

JD Vance is a piece of shit and I'm sure his book(s) suck, but is it truly failure if Netflix buys a film based on your book?
Did Amazon make a documentary about Melania Trump because she was so fascinating and her life needed to be recorded?
Yes. Netflix isn't buying it because they believe it's good. It's always business and it's good business (at least it was) to be involved in maga money. Look at Melania movie. Doesn't make sense at all to exist.
I would define success other than financial but I'm not Netflix nor most people
Also Melania is a bad example. Seems like it flopped despite having every advantage
No index?
