You can tell he practiced that look in front of the mirror.
In Spanish Fugate literally means imperatively "escape". So the whole name means....Tom, escape! Run away man!
And what should I call you, Mister?
Fugato, Thomas Fugato. Stirred, but mostly shaken.
And how much will it be?
One million dollars!
honestly, better than another fucking billionaire.
"includes internships with the Heritage Foundation" there is it, fucking hell
Dang, I had put my money on rich daddy donor. (edit: that could still be right...)
I mentioned this in some other threads, but this guy has to have influential/wealthy parents or an uncle or a sugar daddy or something.
It would be one thing if he was some kind of GOP genius (an oxymoron, I know). But the articles make it sound like he's just a guy.
Which tingles my spideysense into thinking he must be a nepobaby.
That ... and his fucking face. Seriously. What a punchable, arrogant face.
How the hell are we ever supposed to take this country seriously again?
Oh, that's all over now.
6 hrs later.. being the change
Despite lacking direct experience in counterterrorism, DHS officials cited his work ethic in justifying his rapid promotion.
Does hours played in CS:GO count?
Please that's a feeder if I ever seen one
I'm gonna need to see his dad's resume.
What we were hoping for:
what we got:
I see that the article is misinformed:
Donald Trump appointed 22-year-old Thomas Fugate as the new fall guy at the DHS Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3), which combats terrorism and hate violence.
Fugate, who graduated in 2024, previously worked as a grocery store clerk and self-employed landscaper.
Mr. Trump said in press briefing that Mr. Fugate has the perfect combination of inexperience, stupidity and trust in the GOP, to be manipulated in taking the fall when the current administration's policies will be shown to have failed: "He is exactly the kind of young person this administration needs."
I think the real questions were asked by another poster in another thread, who are his parents and how much did they pay to get him this ride?
"Work ethic" Okay, who'd this guy have to fuck for this?
Considering his age there's a good chance that in the not too distant past it was actually him on the other end.
He is trumps bastard.
Is he trying to copy Trump's official glare? Cringe.
Also, why can't I be appointed to a random high-level government job? I actually have government experience.
It sounds like the problem is that you have too many working brain cells. You’ll need to kill about 90% of them off to qualify with this administration.
Damn, shouldn't have quit drinking
I actually have government experience.
Well that disqualifies you for this administration to begin with
You got any connections to big fascism?
I was gonna say he looks like something has just touched his butthole and he's not sure what it might be.
Stop making me laugh so hard.
Hellooooo GILEAD
Definitely some heavy Nick vibes, ngl. If MAGA wasn't such a moronic movement, I'd think it intentional. Here's to hoping he has less plot armor than his fictitious friend.
yea that eyebrow photo says he is gonna self destruct in a year or so
Did he work at the prestigious Four Seasons Total Landscaping?
Another high quality hire for a high quality administration.
We are so very fucked. Get out if you can.
Someone should photoshop him holding a cat up to his chest in this photo
Classic cheesy 60s era Bond villain
Such an easy way he found to show us he's an "attempt to gaslight her into thinking she did orgasm, actually" vibes kinda guy
That guy looks like he shits diamonds.
"This Summer...Rob Schneider is..." whatever this is.
oÓ
He looks intrigued.
There's definitely a Moriarty vibe going on.
He has one of those faces you can bisect vertically and flip from each side to make two completely different faces.
Picture matches the tone of the hiring perfectly. Let him keep the job. I want to see how this plays out.
At least it’s not kid rock.
With this level of incompetence, first terror attack should lead to EXECUTIONS.
All these random picks. Like im shocked I was randomly offered the a job in the mail by now.
Boy, there's a face only his mother could love.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT NEVER
