The Starkest Contrast Between Obama and Trump Administrations

I think can be seen between the real man Trump selected as Secretary of Defense and the veritable pussy that preceded him under Obama.

So Ash boy never killed anything other than a cockroach in his life. No wonder we never get anywhere or into stupid entanglements that are none of our business.

The Physics academics is impressive but it still begs the question of why not a military general.

Don't get what you mean Cappy. A doctorate in theoretical physics is extremely hard to get and is not a "worthless" degree. Maybe he wasn't fit to be defense sec. but he did have a lot of smarts in other areas. Why do you call him a pussy???

So I work for the Navy. Long story short, Ash Carter WAS my boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss, until today. I counted them out.

Ash Carter is a bureaucrat through and through, though I'd wager he's much more competent than most bureaucrats. What people fail to understand is, there is a Grand Canyon between having technical competence and having leadership ability.

You want people like Mattis leading the charge. You want people like Carter advising them.

We saw this all over the Obama administration...technically competent pussies. Compare, for example, the old and new Secretaries of Energy:

Dr. Moniz has a PhD in Nuclear Physics, a worthwhile degree if there ever was one. But does he look like a leader, or does he look like a nerd in a suit?

It speaks volumes of how former president (man, that sounds good) Obama, and the Democrats in general, regarded the importance of our military, doesn't it?

Disagree with your assessment of Ash Carter. He is accomplished in his own right. Donald Trump doesn't like to hire people who are smarter than himself. He is not very bright so I can imagine his cabinet picks probably won't be the smartest people. Time will tell how this experiment will go. He will be lucky if he can make it through one term.

1) As a parlor game on the CH blog proved to me, physiognomy is real if you give it a chance (supplemental to evopsych seduction).

2) Look at the apparent age difference. The low- and no-culture sophisticates are much more relaxed with the way things have been the last 50+ years, because they have been winning. Real men suffer if they care in a high culture way.

Not your tax farm, boyz. Don't care outside your little sphere of influence and, better yet, control. The infection must burn itself out. Talk about most punchable shitlib face. Pajamasboy has a challenger. These fuckers are dangerous smart too. If they don't have to work in the trenches of masculinity for themselves, of course they win. I hate.

When it comes to Theoretical Physics, I'd rather follow Gordon Freeman (The One Free Man) instead of Ash Carter. I noted that Carter served at Defense under Clinton, when the US govt broke the promise made by Pres. Bush not to expand NATO into Eastern Europe and up to Russia's borders. I don't remember hearing Carter protesting this world-historical dishonor and recklessness.

Not a bad comparison for sure. But the one I prefer is Trump's "We", "You" vs "I,I,I", "me" from Obama.

Course there is a catch. The lexicon Trump utilizes explicitly demands that rank and file Americans get up off the couch, burn down the old order and erect the new.

To the demorats, the degree, and pedigree is everything.

Apparently to Trump, accomplishments matter.
