    Profiles in Incompetence -- DoD Edition

    The White House on Monday announced that it was assigning Michael Kratsios, a 33-year-old White House chief technology officer, as the head of research and engineering for the entire DoD. Kratsios, who has a bachelor's degree in political science, is replacing Michael Griffin, a former NASA administrator with a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering.
    You read that right! Trump sends a 33 year old with a BA in Poly Sci to be head of research and engineering for the entire DoD. Our enemies rejoice. Taxpayers...not so much. Trump has to go. Along with the GOP Senate that lets this happen.

      Trump cant hire anyone smarter than himself.

      Imagine how small that hiring pool is?

          Many have come away from the administration, shaking their heads in disbelief. Who is coming towards the administration are the charlatans, those after a quick buck. According to his niece, Trump is easily manipulated.

            The Chinese, NorKs, and Russians had that figured out.

                Show me his positive message. Now fighting to cut his company's payroll tax burden to the detriment of Social Security. What a "marooooon", as Bugs would say.

                        McNamara?

                        A SecDef from 55 years ago justifies this move? I'll stay stick to the scriptures, where mistakes in comprehension never seem to matter.

                        I can almost imagine the conversation in the WH: "send that guy over, he has a science degree and he seems pretty good with computers."

                        There is no way this guy is qualified to oversee research and engineering in the DoD. Everyone in the Pentagon knows it. So the tacit bargain will be, everyone can do what they want so long as nobody makes waves. Remember moments like this, those of you still alive ten years from now, when you read about yet another generation of overpriced weapons that don't work.

                          You know this how ?

                          Simply because he was appointed during Trumps administration ?

                            More lies and twisting from the M&M's. This guy is just a backward kid with no knowledge of Silicon Valley, right? He has never been anybody or been anywhere and barely knows his ABC's, right? He wouldn't know a computer from a teapot, right?

                            If Trump appointed a new Einstein to a high tech job you would claim he was an idiot. Twist and turn, hate and burn. Traitor and liar rolled into one. So today's Talking point is about a idiot with no experience outside the classroom. Got it... this will appear on CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, NPR, Drudge, NYT, WSJ, you can bet on it, the little mind numbed robots falling in line.
