    Ain’t that just a prerequisite for the “grab em by the pussy” administration?

    Tell me then, how else are you supposed to land a job in this administration? That seems like the fastest track, if we are being honest.

    “CNN obtained a copy of his resume and found it was simply a collection of his twitter posts about Kamala Harris and praising Trump.”

    So CNN just eliminated the option to decline tracking. Fantastic.

    Do what they’re saying is that this person was clearly qualified to work for this administration.

      Amid the racism and misogyny is published work that recessions are when the opposition party is in power. Presumably “economic boom” is when the “correct” party is in power, regardless of “traditional” economic data. Oh, and he’d like to see the US deploy nukes.

      Antoni’s academic work is also sparse, causing concern from prominent economists. Last year, he co-published a report that purported “the American economy has actually been in recession since 2022,” which economists across the political spectrum have criticized.

      Sometime in mid-2019… the account’s username changed to “phdofbombsaway” with the display name “Dr. Curtis LeMay.” The profile image also changed to what looks to be a nuclear explosion. The username and display name appear to be a reference to “Bombs Away LeMay,” a reference to the Cold War general and his controversial stance promoting the use of nuclear weapons. LeMay ran alongside segregationist George Wallace on his 1968 presidential ticket for the far-right American Independent Party.
