Get you a man who looks at you the way the head of homeland security’s husband looks at you when she gets the question “what is habeas corpus?” Completely wrong

Habeas corpus has only been around as a legal concept for almost 900 years, how can you expect her to keep up with such fast-paced changes?
She's got Salvadorean prisons to be, puppies to shoot, staff members to fuck
- These two administrations have been some of the trashiest people. It's like the capitalist class doesn't care anymore. They want chaos in the arena of governance, so they can spread their genocide world wide as we are at the bottom struggling with the bare essentials. I think there just hasn't been any human progress and the results of today is a failed liberalism which gave rise to a fascist government. This was always gonna be the case. The book of history never closes. The Cold War never ended. And it wasn't about communism. I focus on Trump's inner circle. It's like his administration is, give me money, and I might let you do things. And those things might be throw shit on the wall and see if it sticks. A very, very, very clumsy application. But finesse is not his forte.
- Staff members to fuck? What did I miss now?
  
  Probably the allegations she had an affair with Trump aide Corey Lewandowski. As we all know, family values is when you cheat on your husband.
  
  None of us are old and gross enough to be invited.

Did she seriously get that wrong?

  Wow, like not even a little bit right.
  The secretary responded: "Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."
- Well, the question wasn't about killing a difficult puppy, so how could she be expected to be an expert!? What's her job again...?
- She thought it was a Harry Potter spell to turn the government into a literal corporation.
- She didn't get it wrong at all, that's far too generous. She fucking lied as to her understanding. Now MAGA has something to repeat. FOX will pick this up, and ever so slightly work it into their talking points. They won't outright lie, they'll be subtle and get the meme across. I've seen them do this shit for 20 years!
  We street urchins and the media alike have to quit giving these people the benefit of the doubt. (Not saying you did OP!)
  Does anyone really think she's stupid?! No one of substandard intelligence rises that high. Yes, her boss started at slightly lower than average, but money and a talent for self-promotion speaks loudly. And yes, attractiveness speaks loudly, but that takes real work and you'll find stupid people mostly look stupid.
  Even MTG is probably "bright normal" like me. When we bag on these people for being stupid I think we're forgetting just how stupid average is. Allow me to rant.
  I'm the guy always talking about working at Lowe's, garden center, rocket science. Started college in honors, remedial math. Literally called MATH 1001. Hardly anyone I work with, including my customers, can do basic addition and multiplication in their head. Had to pull 150 bricks today, pallet holds 126, how many do I need to add? Oh, and a layer holds 3 x 6 bricks, how high to stack it and how many extra, if any, on top? Customer wants 30 bags of mulch, everyone starts counting as we toss it in the truck. "Just make 6 stacks of 5." HUH? Told a dozen customers, "I'm not smart enough to keep count, I multiply."
  How many people do we think are average or lower intelligence on lemmy? But it's 1%, if that.

That's solid contempt
- Being stupid isn't contempt of court.
  
  He's looking at her with solid contempt.
  
  You thought I was bringing charges?
  
  They're in court?

This just makes me want to take her deposition. What does due process mean? Why is it important?
What does it mean to balance a budget?
What is the median annual salary of an American?
If you make the federal minimum wage, how many hours per week do you have to work to make the average rent? How many hours are there in a week?
Should you shoot a dog if you're too incompetent to train it?
- Make her pass a citizenship test.
  
  It would be pretty easy for her, considering that she already has the answer key.

Why would I want a man who looks at me with such utter, naked contempt and disgust?
- Because you’d know you’ve earned it.
- It's his love language.
- Be her and that's how every human with an ounce of dignity will look at you
- At least you'd know you didn't surround yourself with yes-men, I guess.
- If we’re following the letter of the title, that dude isn’t looking at me at all while she shits out of her mouth. He’s trying to telekinetically make her bleed from her ears with the power of disgust.
  I could tolerate a guy that hangs around me and just absolutely expresses raw unfiltered hate at the stupid bullshit others say. Heck, becoming known as the guy with an entourage that projects menace toward stupidity might actually make my existence more peaceful.
- Some people are turned on by the darker side or puppy play.
  No kink shaming.
  
  Eh, from personal experience you don’t want to do kink with someone who genuinely hates you.
  
  I probably wouldn't engage in puppy play with Kristi Noem.

"Wait a minute... I don't think her getting hired for this position was merit-based like she told me it was..."

That's the same expression Homelander has in that meme.

granted...she is also publicly having an affair with a trump aid so there's that...too. "Hey honey it would look good if you made an appearance at these senate hearings to support me publicly and show a united front. No, not like that."
- I didn’t know about this until your comment, but holy fuck. It appears they’ve been having an affair since at least 2020.
  No wonder her husband hates her.
