OP, per Rule 2, please add a reliable source (or sources) explaining who these people are and what they did to get a “leopards ate my face” post.
How can you be running this community and not know who these gentlemen are?
It’s for the people who don’t know, I think.
- This is a “leopards ate my face” community, not a “Trump bad” community or even an “American politics” community.
- This doesn’t explain how e.g. Eric Adams got his face eaten. Absent other context, “getting your face eaten” isn’t just “not getting a job in the administration”. Even assuming it is, was Adams even looking for a job, and if so, why am I supposed to know that?
- Even if I’m supposed to be particularly informed, Lemmy is a global social media network, and even then, plenty of American readers probably couldn’t name these people.
Because to Trump, they’re not “black jobs”
They’ll have a chance of becoming the Groom of the Stool, though.
More like Night Soil Gardener
Is this the Wish.com version of The Night Agent?
The only black jobs he understands include shovels and wheelbarrows
You forgot the black gay prostitute that he paid to keep quiet.
Hey! That is adamantly not true!
He also understands jobs where black people are not paid for their services!
Get it right.
Same for NPR, they’re still getting their money taken away.
Do you happen to have any examples of NPR kissing Trump’s ass?
friday they did an interview about trump’s immigration overreach… WITH THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION. Gave the shitbag talking head freedom to spew right wing bullshit for 12 minutes. it was fucking disgusting.
I’m a lifelong NPR listener and I’m fucking sick of it.
I check the news every weekday and their headlines and choice of front page articles certainly were playing into his hands. I don’t think they’re stupid, so I can only assume that they did that on purpose.
This was compiled right before the election, scroll down to see NPR’s board. It’s not a good look.
The leopards are equal opportunity face chompers!
If Trump had his way they’d be picking cotton but hey keep on ass kissing maybe next time
The cult will accept all ass kissing. The cult has promises. The cult provides vision. Do not question the cult.
Who are those guys? Only one looks familiar, not counting the one I mistook for a moment.
Who are these guys?
Meant to respond to you, responded to the post instead
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Scott
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgess_Owens
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_Donalds
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_James_(Michigan_politician)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wesley_HuntCongressmen that endorsed trump but didn’t get cabinet or VP picks, would be my guess
He does have one cabinet member that is black, but that’s probably only because it has “Urban” in the name and he’s a former football player.
Eric Scott Turner (born February 26, 1972) is an American businessman, politician, and former professional football player who is serving as the 19th United States secretary of housing and urban development since 2025.
“Didn’t get cabinet or VP picks” definitely isn’t a leopards eating faces moment. They’re all doing fine.
I didn’t post it, I’m just responding to the asked comment
Edit: Looks like I responded at the parent level instead of to the person who asked who they are, but I’ll leave my comment for context
I know you didn’t, just commenting that it’s not in the right community.
Vivek Ramaswamy quit the Trump team shortly after not being given any influential positions.
Christ, I hate respectability politics. Like, it is obvious from the get-go that Trump and MAGA will never see poc minorities as humans, but as disposable tools.
Twenty years ago when the Republican party was at least more tolerable that I understand if any poc’s and other minorities vote for the party (before 9/11, Muslims were pro-Bush). 2000s Republicans branded themselves as pro-business, and many immigrants who tend to be entrepreneurial got on board with that. Now that the party morphed into MAGA, poc’s who support the party are just playing the stupid game of “look at me, I am one of the good ones”, and then act surprised when fascists throw them under the bus, and then fascists walk on them on the bloody road for demented quest for power.
I think there’s a strong undercurrent of evangelical “Christianity” as well. For all the sense that adds to it.
Low key the most creepy thing about the current state of America is how every GOP male politician quietly adopted the exact same “Blue suit, White Shirt, solid color tie…usually red” combo that Der Fuhrer wears.
But nooooo…it’s not a cult. Not at all.
Hey guys what about me? Oh that’s right, I died from COVID I caught at a trump rally 🤡
The Herman Cain Award was the only thing that got me through COVID.
Awww shucky DUCKY!
uzbeckybeckystanstan!
There’s something in common with these people. I can’t put my finger on it though
