Remember that 22-year old in the administration?
No, not at DOGE. This one's job is countering domestic terrorism
ProPublica reported recently that 22-year old Thomas Fugate, who studied political science at University of Texas, now heads the diapered felon who’s rapes’ “main hub for terrorism prevention” within the Department of Homeland Security.
So we have ICE Barbie at the helm, and this pimply-faced lil’ wonder looking after serious issues such as the political assassination and attempted assassination in Minnesota.
He’s doing a helluva job, isn’t he?
Fugate’s office, the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, is, according to the Austin American-Statesman:
the agency’s flagship office for countering domestic violent extremism and administering multimillion-dollar community prevention grants.
Except the office has been decimated in this administration’s drive to cut costs. ProPublica reports that putting an appointee with zero terrorism experience is strictly more of Trump’s dismantling federal government’s operations. From Reuters:
The Trump administration gutted a program that aims to prevent targeted violence as part of its effort to downsize the federal government, a move that could come under fresh scrutiny after the deadly shooting of state lawmakers in Minnesota on Saturday.
The Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, part of the Department of Homeland Security, works to reduce violent extremism through intervention programs in schools, workplaces and government offices.
William Braniff, a former director of the office who resigned in protest in March, said the office went from having 45 full-time staff and several dozen contract workers to just a handful of employees now.
In Fugate’s previous jobs, he was a gardener, and grocery store assistant. He also interned at the dreadful Heritage Foundation, architect of the equally dreadful Project 2025.
This is like handing a toddler a loaded pistol, and this is a cost-cutting we simply cannot afford.
It's hard to "like" this post. This administration keeps moving lower! "Kakistocracy" is a new term I recently learned and it fits this band of idiots running the country well. (Unfortunately for all of us.)
How many hours did this guy spend in front of a mirror practicing his Dr. Evil face.
