“Erika Kirk will continue his legacy, and will be a fearless advocate for the most elite airpower force in the history of the world whose warriors keep our nation safe, strong and free.”

Do you think Erika Kirk could even describe to you how airplanes fly with a basic grade school explanation?

And what exactly are the qualifications of some former beauty pageant winner and widow of some dead far-right racist, anti-science, anti-intellectual monster to be in such a position?

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

DUI hire

Imagine the qualified USAF officers reading her shitty advice about cadet selection.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Blonde and white. Trim and pitch skills…secondary

What is she going to bring to the table here? How to grift off a dead husband you didn't love, abandon your children to grift, and be the side chick of a guy who fucks couches?

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Her ability to crank the afterburners on benefitting in her career from her husband dying has impressed even the Air Force's most aggressive fighter pilots.

Only the toughest Warfighters can execute such high-Greed maneuvers.

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 4 weeks ago

Screen presence, kinda attractive, sycophant, rich (ish). Ya'know, the only criteria he gives a fuck about.

[-] BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

Ah yes, another DEI hire

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 weeks ago

"We don't do that here"

[-] orbitz@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 weeks ago

Hey it could be a DUI hire like others too...I don't know much about her if that could be accurate but if she's going with that ship she's a fucking douche. No one with any sense of morality would ever accept a position from them.

Funny how apparently all the 'christian/godly' (outspoken ones) types are attaching themselves to the apparent anti Christ. Well probably not literally but the description fits 1:1 and I'm an atheist but I think the Bible had a good description of that charlaton.

I recall reading some old philosopher and they described the worst person, it was Trump. I could never find it again forget but it was Plato or Aristotle I think. There have always been those types in all of history. Somehow the US was hoodwinked into actually giving him power, rather than run him off like the snake oil salesmen he is.

[-] BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

I'm not religious either, but I'm aware of the core principles of Christianity. Trump is the embodiment of greed, and goes heavily against what the Bible teaches, look no further than "love thy neighbor." He actively goes against that core principle daily. I'm sure someone has done a full write up of all the things trump has done that's against the Bibles teachings, yet these Bible loving """Christians""" swear he's the second coming of Jesus and was appointed by god.

It's a cult, plain and simple. Christians follow him because a good amount of them are conservative, because their believe is only surface level. It's only faith when it's convenient and "against gods wishes or whatever" when it's against their conservative beliefs.

Christians that belive trump is the greatest and sent to us by god haven't read the same fucking book they're constantly quoting, they're hypocrites and traitors to themselves and their supposed beliefs. He is in fact the antichrist according to these people's own book.

This is the true Trump Derangement Syndrome, because once again, every accusation is a confession of the Repulikkkan party.

[-] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

Getting hep c and being discharged with 1 week of boot camp left seemed like a curse when I was 21...but now that I have seen all the bullshit Trump is doing...at 33 I can say thank God for hep c.

[-] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 4 weeks ago

I was considering going into the army, in 2001, after the election, I figured the leadership would get us into a war I would not want to be involved in. Nailed it.

[-] Pirky@piefed.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

I'm the same age. When I graduated college 10 years ago my dad tried talking me into the air force. I'm so glad I didn't do that; I would have despised serving under this President.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Also dispise bombing kids. Whether they are Afghan, Iranian, Palestinian, etc.

[-] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I wonder if she will have a nice couch in her office for Vance when he visits.

On a more serious note, it is amazing how well her husbands killing has worked out for her professionally.

[-] HalfAFrisbee@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

DEI whore.

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

I bet she's qualified for that.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Donald Trump is cancer. Literally couldn't be a worse person. And he thinks the concept of "qualified" means "is liked by people in power". If this administration doesn't depress you greatly, nothing will.

Nothing of real value is given value by this administration. Only money and hoarding it matter, and nakedly so. They're literally citing greed as why starting a war is ok. "we're going to make a lot of money" is something actually said out loud by politicians in defense of a war. I cannot imagine how this government could get more corrupt.

[-] hector@lemmy.today 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

There couldn't be a worse person by character. There could be a worse leader, one that was capable, and even just half as mean.

[-] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Oh my god, congratulations Erika. Look how far you got exploiting that bullet in your husband's neck! Amazing. I'm sure his gay rumours were untrue, and that you loved each other so much! I hope you also one day get that closeted couch fucker away from his dirty foreigner wife! Such inspiration. Beautiful.

[-] spykee@lemmings.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Airwrecka Kirk\

Yes, I spent way too much time on my work machine to sculpt this.

[-] Grumpyleb@lemmus.org 0 points 4 weeks ago

Hopefully Trump steals the midterms as well and plunges the entire world into further chaos, maybe then Americans will consider doing something? I'm genuinely curious as to what it will take for general strikes?

[-] cheffrey@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

It’s going to take a culture shift. People on the ground don’t feel like they can trust each other. Until we have a sense that our neighbors won’t let us go hungry, a general strike can’t be sustained.

We get there with mutual aid, building relationships with our neighbors, and time. General strike 2028

[-] Grumpyleb@lemmus.org 0 points 4 weeks ago

Damn, if you're aiming for 2028 to effect any realistic changes that ship might have sailed. People are already hungry and broke, I don't understand you lot to be honest.

[-] cheffrey@lemmy.zip 0 points 3 weeks ago

Fr if you have any suggestions on how to do it faster, I’m listening

[-] Grumpyleb@lemmus.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

Fr, general strikes.

[-] Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

Kirk, a former Miss Arizona beauty pageant winner, was also recognized by Trump during the president’s State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress in February.

She was hired because of ~~nepotism~~ her qualifications...

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

She was hired because she's proven herself to be a valuable psychopath and propaganda operative; those are the only relevant qualifications to the American nazi party.

[-] rozodru@piefed.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

she'll also be Vance's "Wife" soon if they deem him ready to be next in line. last thing they'd want is an Indian as first lady.

[-] Wilco@lemmy.zip -1 points 4 weeks ago

That BJ game must be good. No one can say this whore has any other talent.
