Do you know who is now in charge of counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security, should they be replaced?

Shall we review? It's shortly after the current administration flies a large number of bunker-busting-bombs over the heads of congress and claimed directly into Irans nuclear program bases.

While we await Trumps impeachment on that. Let us review one of Trumps newest... appointees, to one of the countries most serious defensive departments workforce seats.

Thomas Fugate, a 22-year-old recent college graduate with no national security experience. Zero experience at all according his linkedIn profile he has since been appointed deleted. Not before people copy/pastedp however.

He participated a club in high school, worked in a grocery store, then a lawn care business, and worked an internship for the Heritage Foundation.
Outside of that what obviously most appealed to Trumps admin was his relentless commitment to maga and social media history trail thick with hate and kissing Trumps *ss.

" In contrast, CP3's previous director, Bill Braniff, was a U. S. Army veteran. He brought to the position more than 20 years of experience in counterterrorism, according to his LinkedIn profile. He left CP3 in March 2025 to become the executive director of the Polarization & Extremism Research & Innovation Lab at the School of Public Affairs at American University."

Is this Thomas boy deserving of his shiny new job?

He was actually run through Snopes it sounded so unreal I guess...

If my six-year-old great-great-nephew were white and lived in America, I'm nominate him for Trump's cabinet, as Agent Orange picks the worst and dumbest young folk to be his yes-men and yes-women. (As it is, young Mr. Fugate is just a year older than my youngest great-nephew. And did Trump check to see if Fugate is related to 1959 14-year-old thrill killer Carol Ann Fugate, who with her boyfriend Charles Starkweather blazed a trail of mass slayings throughout the Plains before being captured, convicted and in Starkweather's case, executed? [The minor Ms. Fugate received life without parole but was paroled in the 1980's or 1990's]).

I doubt he checked to see if the kid even has a license to drive.

[Snakeyes7]

I trust him more than any of the swamp lizards, specifically because of the lack of experience. He might actually try to work with the people instead of actively work against them because "think of the children."

I hope he fights back against things like the Patriot act. That never should have become a thing at all.

[Asker]

Points for commitment to the home team. None for supporting the country you reside.

[Snakeyes7]

I am supporting the country in which I reside, by praying for the downfall of the surveillance state that is the Patriot act.

[Asker]

We all want what is best for the county. I see little good in its current course.

[Snakeyes7]

You'd rather it stay the way it was?

Leave big balls alone. He hasn't hit puberty yet...

[Asker]

🤣🤣

[Asker]

This is bigballs. There is def a theme here. No experience and lots of hate.



At least they keep a fire extinguisher handy. Our private files are safe now stored on their weak servers.

I think

i read tht he was acting head of couterterrorism. I do not know how he got the job except he is not part of the swamp.

[DryGermanGuy]

Only the best people, remember! 🙄

Trump had constitutional authority so stfu

[Asker]

It makes me wonder.. does Trumo not trust his own military? It seems to me a heavily red military man would be a slightly better fit. Why a kid you would not even hire to babysit your kids?

[Asker]

stfu part made me roar. The defense you guys go to. You'd lay in the freeway if Trump asked you to.

You would have a better chance of growing a dick!!

You would be surprised. I have very good insurance and there are some research groups who eluded DOGE sweeps...
