BREAKING: HOLY SH*T! Trump's Pentagon hires a convicted Jan. 6th insurrectionist to work in a top position with access to highly classified military information.
And it gets so much worse...
According to bombshell reporting from The Washington Post, Elias Irizarry has been given a powerful job inside the Defense Department’s Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict office.
Irizarry took part in the deadly Capitol riot when he was 19 years old and rather than reassess his life after he was convicted for his crimes, he chose to double down on MAGA fascism. He ran unsuccessfully for a South Carolina state House seat as a Republican and now he's bringing his noxious politics to the halls of the Pentagon.
And Irizarry was not a minor insurrectionist. He was part of the hardcore band of Trumpers who entered into the actual Capitol building through a broken window. He was wielding a metal pole as a weapon, but didn't strike anyone that we know of.
When the FBI searched his phone, they discovered “a gap of data between January 1, 2021 and January 8, 2021, which suggests that Irizarry deleted information from his cell phone pertaining to his involvement on January 6, 2021." He was sentenced to two weeks in jail and was eventually pardoned by Trump.
The Post reports that DoD staff have "raised alarm" about Irizarry's appointment and "question how anyone convicted in the assault on American democracy could be trusted for such a sensitive role in the U.S. government." They were forced to voice these concerns anonymously, because the administration has a reputation for vindictive retribution against anyone who speaks out against regime decisions.
Irizarry will be working inside the office's irregular warfare and counterterrorism section despite having zero experience for the role. His only "qualification" is that he's a MAGA loyalist who sought to destroy our sacred tradition of a peaceful transfer of power. For the Trump administration, that's good enough.
The section that he'll be working in deals with embassy security and hostage rescue among other duties. According to two people familiar with the work speaking to the Post, it's some of the "most delicate that the Pentagon perform." When a crisis strikes, he will be totally unprepared.
“In the case of rescue/extraction missions, it can place our special operators in some of the most complex and dangerous environments we ask of them,” said one source. “To put someone so junior and new to DOD, and with such a checkered background, into such a sensitive portfolio raises serious questions for leadership.”
This hiring represents a convergence between two destructive Trumpian trends: hiring utter incompetents and politicizing nonpartisan institutions. This administration routinely hires people who are completely incapable of doing their jobs because they only care about MAGA loyalty. The result is a weakened, ideologically poisoned government.
When Democrat retake power, we must sweep every last one of these cretins out of our bureaucracies.
Please ❤️ and share to demand that this traitor be fired!
BREAKING: MAGA crumbles as Texas Senate hopeful James Talarico’s badass HOTTIE LATINA girlfriend is revealed -- and she’s everything they fear!
Texas Democrats just got a major vibe check with the reveal of state Sen. James Talarico’s girlfriend, and Republicans are spiraling harder than Ken Paxton facing another indictment.
Meet Brianna Menard: committed vegan, yoga-loving cat mom, political lobbyist, and half of a new progressive power couple partner MAGA never saw coming.
Menard, 30, is a progressive activist and lobbyist for the Texas Medical Association focused on early learning, childcare access, healthcare affordability, and defending evidence-based gender-affirming care against Republican attacks.
She’s also a cat mom and board member at a local food co-op. In short: the complete opposite of the far-right culture warriors trying to drag Texas backward.
Talarico, who dominated his Democratic primary, proudly eats barbecue and isn’t vegan, but as his team put it with a wink, “true love conquers all.”
The pair met when Menard worked as his chief of staff in 2022 and started dating in early 2023. Talarico has called her “my rock” and “my best friend,” crediting her support through the primary campaign.
This isn’t some random fling, it’s a picture-perfect Democratic power duo with real values.
While MAGA clutches pearls over barbecue, pronouns, and plant-based diets, Talarico is out here building a winning coalition and showing what authentic Texas leadership looks like. Republicans just aren’t getting any more traction with their tired culture war nonsense.
Democrats have substance, and apparently great taste in partners who actually care about people. Texas is turning blue, one Talafreako at a time, lol.
If you agree the Menard reveal is a perfect clapback to the panicked supporters of the Republican’s scandal monger Paxton, like and share this post.
