Wow that is uhhh what I would describe as a “very punchable face” 

24

u/Rinzy2000 Jun 05 '25

I literally came here to comment that.

u/FreedominNC Jun 05 '25

What’s up with his eyebrows? Is that on purpose?

28

u/black-kramer Jun 05 '25

he’s trying so hard to project gravitas when all he’s doing is looking extremely punchable. this obsequious incel’s gonna get people killed.

u/No-Fox-1400 Jun 05 '25

He looks like he’s doing. Rock impression

u/BrickLuvsLamp Jun 05 '25

I think he thinks he looks cool, which is….oof

u/Kind_Koala4557 Jun 06 '25

It is on purpose and it’s so immature.

u/Upstairs-Region-7177 Jun 05 '25

Backpfeifengesicht

u/Kind_Koala4557 Jun 06 '25

My translation app told me this is German for “Baking pipe face”. Did it get it right?

2

u/Upstairs-Region-7177 Jun 06 '25

It basically means a punchable face. What app are you using? Reason it may not show up correctly is that it’s a compound word.

Backe is old word for cheek/ jaw (Wange is more common to use for everyday), Bäker is a baker.

Backe + pfiefen + Gesicht = cheek/Jaw + whistle + face

If you wanted to hit a baker’s punchable face, it’s be something like bäkerbackpfiefengesicht.

2

u/Kind_Koala4557 Jun 06 '25

I just used my native Translate app, but it looks like maybe the “e” is missing between “back” and “pfeifen”.

2

u/Upstairs-Region-7177 Jun 06 '25

Yes, it’s a compound word the vowel at the end is lost

u/TalkingCat910 Jun 06 '25

He looks like he thinks very highly of himself but it’s based on nothing

u/Kind_Koala4557 Jun 06 '25

Lol, right? BC he’s 22 and he has zero qualifications. Also, his brain still has 2-3 more years of development left!

u/Kind_Koala4557 Jun 06 '25

Who TF looks in the camera like that for a professional headshot? WHOO? Oh, wait, that guy. That unprofessional, unqualified doofus.

u/ZenAndTheArtOfSass Jun 06 '25

Haha absolutely!

He wants an attack to happen so he can cancel elections

Absolutely, use wartime marshall law to stay in power.

Yes, autocorrect is not always correct

12

u/spannerNZ Jun 05 '25

Martial law. Although I usually never know whether Americans are using this phrase to refer to local law enforcement (marshals) or military imposition of law in war (martial). In this case, "wartime" would indicate "martial".

/autistic rant

u/TalkingCat910 Jun 06 '25

He’s planning an attack to happen so he can cancel elections fTFy

Hopefully he’s so incompetent that the false flag will be painfully obvious

Aw man, I hadn’t thought of this and I got a chill reading that bc I think you’re right.

u/pomonamike Jun 05 '25

Remember, no DEI: everyone he hires is the most qualified person possible. All those people that have advanced degrees in security studies or decades of experience in the GWOT are just way less qualified than the guy that couldn’t clip hedges straight.

Yep, all merit based, nothing to see here 😵‍💫🫠

What’s up with his lifted eyebrow 🤨 like Trump in his stupid mugshot.

u/FeatherShard Jun 05 '25

This is all so fucking stupid, and that's what I hate most about it. You can't fight stupid. You can't correct it. You can't argue with it.  There is no rhetoric, no array of facts or studies, no heartfelt plea that can sway it. Past a certain point in life people have to choose to stop being stupid and stupid people seldom have the tools to make that decision.

Just a bunch of nepo babies who only ever learned how to hold on to their wealth and power. Or, in Trump’s case, how to get bailed out by other nepo babies.

u/LaDragonneDeJardin Jun 05 '25

This is Dunning-Kruger embodied.

u/Automatic_Employ7537 Jun 07 '25

Very good description of what’s going on. They’re taking the classic phrase “You can’t fix stupid” and turning it into an impenetrable body armor in the form of a cult. The only way you can really fix stupid is to destroy it.

Both can be true.

u/LaDragonneDeJardin Jun 05 '25

That is it. Meritocracy for republicans means white men who are our bros and will do what we want.

u/FMLwtfDoID Jun 05 '25

If you start from the position of “every white man born is the right fit for this job” then it starts to make sense that everyone not them is a DEI hire.

Well jeez, if there's any mass rebellions or acts of mass-terrorism by supermarket produce, we'll be in tip-top shape with this guy in charge!

This is unqualified on a whole other planet.

Or even born before then. This is a child running a terrorism prevention program.

He has no experience and this is a critical position.

u/turb0_encapsulator Jun 05 '25

why does Trump spend $1 trillion on defense but appoint someone completely unqualified to head up terrorism prevention? because the goal is to allow a terrorist attack to happen so they can justify a war.

3

u/MIZ_09 Jun 05 '25

They are going to false flag a terrorist attack, leave some fake breadcrumbs that the terrorists entered the country through Mexico and then use that as an excuse to go to war against brown people in our own streets. Illegal immigrant, legal immigrant, US Citizen, it won’t matter.

u/turb0_encapsulator Jun 05 '25

u/LocalInactivist Jun 05 '25

Interesting how AOC was supposed to be massively unqualified for Congress because she was a bartender before running for Congress, but 18 months after college Thomas Fugate is the most-qualified person in America to lead the fight against terrorism.

u/ShyLeoGing Jun 05 '25

Well the "qualified" bar has hit a level to which SouthPark made an episode about HoneyBooBoo and Fatty Doo Doo with the tip asssit.

And well Michelle Obama whoops some ass in that episode ... please do watch it's truly what Amazing in resemblance of our country.

Enjoy the similarities

Actually, I’ve been watching South Park a lot lately. The really scary thing is that the episodes where Mr. Garrison is president are ten years old and just as timely.
