Incompetent drunk fires career serviceman to please Dear Leader.
Gonna be trouble, Drinky Pete.
More self-sabotage of the war machine, what’s not to like?
Politicizing intelligence and making military leadership partisan guarantees more wars not less.
Hey look.
Republicans further weakening our nation…again.
Man. I grew up really thinking America would have the balls to handle a traitorous president or party.
I was dead wrong.
Instead they love handling the traitorous president’s balls.
But checks and balances!
More like cashiers checks and account balances…
The experiment has failed.
I mean, it lasted for a good quarter millennium; it’s not a complete failure.
Humans, amirite?!

The shithead with a mustache also only had yes-men. Videos of him presiding over battle plans in his bunker showed him confident about their chances. I’m pretty sure they lost. We can only hope yes-man tank this admin before we go to war.
I’m pretty sure they lost.
There have been some theories
A well known rendition of him doing this also showed when those yes-men ran into the problem where they couldn’t spin things anymore. So he threw them all under the bus because it was obviously their fault. Projection and blameshifting til the end.
The allies actually stopped trying to assassinate Hitler in the latter years of the war because he was causing more and more damage to his own cause by firing people who knew what they were doing and replacing them with yes-men.See below.
Is that accurate? I’d love to read more about it if you have a source.
Doing some more research it seems that people argued against assassinating Hitler for that reason, but they weren’t listened to.
Peter’s Evil Overlord List #32 - will not fly into a rage and kill a messenger who brings me bad news just to illustrate how evil I really am. Good messengers are hard to come by.
He is failing simple things from a listicle from 1996…
When I employ people as advisors, I will occasionally listen to their advice
I will not have a son. Although his laughably under-planned attempt to usurp power would easily fail, it would provide a fatal distraction at a crucial point in time. (This could apply broadly to a few different people in the Admin)
I will not have a daughter. She would be as beautiful as she was evil, but one look at the hero’s rugged countenance and she’d betray her own father. (Would Ivonka betray him? Yes, definitely.)
I will maintain a realistic assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Even though this takes some of the fun out of the job, at least I will never utter the line “No, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!” (After that, death is usually instantaneous.) (Fascism never has a realistic assessment of strengths and weaknesses)
I will maintain a healthy amount of skepticism when I capture the beautiful rebel and she claims she is attracted to my power and good looks and will gladly betray her companions if I just let her in on my plans. (I don’t know that this has specifically happened, but I bet Trump would fall for it)
I will never build a sentient computer smarter than I am. (LLMs ain’t smart, but a Raspberry Pi can run one smarter than Trump)
