Alarm after Elias Irizarry is hired to position in office that manages highly classified military operations
The Pentagon has appointed a rioter convicted for his role in 6 January, 2021 insurrection to a sensitive national security role dealing with counterterrorism, overriding insiders’ concerns about his past record.
Elias Irizarry, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge in connection with the storming of the US Capitol, has been appointed to a position in the US Department of Defense’s special operations and low intensity conflict office which manages highly classified military operations, causing alarm among Pentagon officials.
The story was first reported by the Washington Post, which published a picture of Irizzary – holding what appeared to be a metal pole and wearing a pro-Donald Trump Make America Great Again (Maga) hat – looking over a wall on the day of the riot.
At this point if all these national security cunts are is 'alarmed' then they were never looking after that nation properly.
You gotta wonder how far things would've been allowed to go if MAGA had said it was communist...
"They asked me how well I understood terrorism. I said I have a lot of experience in terrorism. They said welcome aboard."
Violating the 14 th amendment directly
It's obvious that domestic terrorism is moving away from white supremacists and neo nazis, because they'll all be given these jobs to persecute dissenters.
The term "terrorism" has been skewed for many years, but now the legislation behind it is going to be used to build a morals police.
Domestic terrorism is going to exclusively mean 1) belonging to an organization or politically active in any way against the GOP, and 2) trans people and 3) anything else they decide last minute.
2.5) anyone who won't claim to be a fundamentalist Christian
I wonder if this is yet another symptom of remaining available trump sycophants being bottom-of-the-barrel tier now. As in, all of the other better qualified candidates have left MAGA or been run through and fired already leaving on the dregs at the bottom to appoint to important offices.
"Is there no one that likes me anymore that can do the job?"
"Not really, no sir."
"What about the kid with the MAGA hat and the pole at the insurrection?"
"Uh, sure. We can see if he's available."
dont bet on it
Vote SayJess for president in ‘28. On my first day, I promise that I will maroon all of the J6r’s on a sand bar, just far enough away so that they could not come back. Close enough to see the ever so faint light of the city.
That and raze MAGA to the ground.
If the US makes it out of this, the next presidential candidate must run on a platform of bringing the entire Trump regime to justice. The regime has exposed how much power the president actually has, and I expect them to use it.
Unfortunately I'm not holding my breath, I'm expecting another Newsom or Harris type right winger
Life is just good enough where most people don't care as much, because their frame of reference is the one small bad act that just happened. Bad things progressing slowly over time is the strategy of fascists. Most people don't realize what has been lost, they largely only remember when it affects them personally. The goalposts have been incrementally moving, shifting chaos into normalcy. As long as things get worse slowly, most people won't notice. Social media has only exacerbated the short attention spans of the masses.
The planet's climate is catastrophically changing, dictatorships are emerging all over the world and even in your own country, and a few rich assholes literally own everything, but god forbid, we can't stop working or scrolling Tiktok.
Don’t forget people are vulnerable to propaganda and misinformation. Not to mention social media brainrot.
They filled the streets three times already. It did nothing.
Gotta replace step 1 and step 2 with amendement 1 and amendement 2.
Because the population is so far in debt to the banks they can’t risk their whole life falling apart to protest.
No job = no rent/mortgage/car payments/health care/school/day care/food/retirement.
Not to mention the 60k average student loans.
So yeah, who will protest when it means you will end up homeless on a country where it is essentially illegal to be homeless?
Hes too brown. Hitler though, if Hitler was alive and on the market you know we'd be snatching him up
Yeah sorry about that
A terrorist in a counter-terrorism role? sure why not, it fits America's current MO.
Ah, this makes sense.
Which is why this story has taken off like wildfire across the corporate news sewers.

thanks for using Leebra!
go to feed...
It makes perfect sense to hire traitors for classified posts given that the people doing the hiring are also traitors who are attempting to destroy the government. Hard to see why this would alarm them at this point.
