Oh, they're just going to nepotism some idiot fuckup into the job.
I hear Homer is available.
I'd have more faith in him than any of the idiots they will actually pick.
This is exactly the Curtis Yarvin RAGE plan. Remember a few years ago when that lady got sued for not issuing a marriage license to a gay couple, despite the law? She's the ideal for them, someone who will fulfill their fascists will even when real adults take over.
they will be unbothered when they blow us all up
Oopsie, accidentally lost some nukes.
What's that? israel mysteriously found some nukes? Guess we'll never know where they got them from, its a mystery...
"Not realizing. "
No. They absolutely realized it. Farking the country up is the entire point
i could believe that they're too stupid to know what the DOE does
I could also see them being manipulated by outside powers so that weapons might mysteriously end up in foreign hands.
They are both ignorant and pliable.
TBH it's on message for them.
The guy they had to lead the DOE last time had no idea what they did, either. It's nice to see that at least some things don't change.
DOGE, but 25% more efficient?
Fucking, the word is fucking.
Swearing?! On my internet?!
The US government is gigantic and does a lot beyond what most people see in a day to day basis.
The visible part of DoE is energy conservation and developing alternative energy sources. It turns out the DoE does a lot more and they didn't realize this before promising to destroy the department.
didn't he have this problem of not understanding what the department of energy did last term?
Yep. His 'bull in a China shop' philosophy of governance comes with a lot of collateral damage.
philosophy of governance
Just feels wrong in a sentence about the diaper, even after "bull in a China shop."
No doubt it does, but I think 'bull in a China shop' is a fairly accurate characterization.

Lol, ok, I can see why this is called NOT THE ONION. Geeze, and this is the most powerful country in the world. Maybe they don't actually know where Canada is, ha.
It seems funny until you realize that we actually do need some serious people running government, and instead, our president has staffed it with 20 year-old morons and idiotic TV personalities that he probably secretly uses for fap fodder.

The guy who did his fireworks on the campaign trail will be heading NORAD.
I wonder how many nukes are gonna disappear.
Why don't we ask Jeff?
I already took 12 of them.
Got me a four pack. Just traded two eggs.
I'm feeling remorse.
Dunno, but I hope one makes it to the Palestinians so this war can end. Mutually-assured destruction is a wonderful thing.
Just don't lose the launch codes:
000000000000
When they beg you to come back, Dean and a contract for 10x your previous salary or no deal.
So a hair under 20 years ago I was offered a position similar to this after leaving the Navy. I'm so glad I went into private industry in another field entirely.
Those stockpiles should be moved to Canada, because clearly they are not mature enough to take care of such things.
Rick Perry moment
Spy novel themed porno plot moment.
Edit: Russian porno
I knew someone who mixed cars and airplanes at the end of his life.
Like the car at the end of Grease? Or more like the one in Flubber?
More like dementia. At the beginning, it was surprising and after sometime, people laughed at it.
lolol!
