Here are the historic firsts in Biden's administration

never mind, I don't want to get involved in the purse swinging tonight.

 

That is not me presuming your answer. It is me saying I do not think you ever made critical comments about Humpty appointing his kids etc. The question remains open to be answered.

 

Hah! A Ninja edit!!

 

Sure, so long as they are qualified. And being an advisor to the previous administration(which several of these picks have as "top credentials") shouldn't qualify. It's basically a bunch of Papadoupolis's, a bunch of coffee boys(or girls as it would be), save for a few.

Can we afford on-the-job training in the midst of a pandemic? We're about to find out if confirmed.

 

Your first response to me.

 

Don't blame ya. Your wallet might fly out. Lol.

 

Dems' identity politics have painted rich white old Joe into a corner. It's divine justice really.

Now the black caucus is demanding more blacks. The Hispanic caucus is demanding more Hispanics. The AAPI's demand more Asian American and Pacific Islanders.

"It's not enough." Of course it isn't. When you segregate people by skin color and genitals (things which no human has any control over) and try to make each group feel like the "most special" collective group, then no one is happy. The Democrats eating their own through the identity politics they thought was a good idea will be a very special show the next few years.

This is beautiful.

 

Of course. Then you need to have a chat with those demanding more blacks in the administration.

 

Not clear, fmw. I really don't care much about who's demanding what, as long as it's not BLM.

It's a big country. Lots of different people out there. The representation is being demanded by voters. If you think Pence was picked for anything other than the evangelical vote then you're kidding yourself. The Democrats have their constituents and voters, and the Republicans have theirs. I have great respect for both Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. Blacks are great leaders. Women, too. And we know Biden got a vote from at least one of them. Secy. Powell seems to disagree with you, and I agree with him.

Anyway, back to your post. Not sure what you mean.

 

What I mean is that hiring someone because of race is the wrong way to do it. Hiring the best person regardless of race is the right way. The people who are demanding hiring by race are in support of doing it the wrong way.

 

The Democrat's "diversity" platform is fragile as thin ice. Look at who Democrats selected as the top two nominees to be the face of their party: Biden and Sanders. Two rich, old, white men were selected over minority, women and gay competitors, not because they are rich/white/old, but because voters thought one of these two rich old white men was more qualified and able to win the general election.

 

It isn't about what is best for the country. It never is. It is always about political power. I wish we could do away with political parties.

 

*** BULLETIN ***

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. will not become the President of the United States until he takes the Oath of Office at noon, January 20, 2021.

Until that moment, all conjecture about what he will do, and with whom, is just that -- speculation!

Some of the indications, though, are very troubling -- especially the announcement that he's going to CEMENT the death-grip hold the Federal Reserve central bank combine has on the entire economy by making Janet Yellen the Treasury Secretary.

Liberals, however, oblivious to the danger of 'the Fed', cheer this decision as being oh-so 'progressive' because Janet Yellen is a WOMAN -- and somehow that completely obviates the obvious threat that this past-Chairman of the Federal Reserve represents to the money supply, interest rates, and the value of the United States Dollar itself! In their shallow, doctrinaire minds, a person's 'sexual plumbing' is a far more important consideration than anything else....

But, these kinds of 'diversity' considerations are like pieces of candy to little children -- Democrat street 'urchins' -- who are so easily pleased with NOTHINGNESS, while the country slips slowly onward toward insolvency....

 

What? Unless they have actually done the job before, everyone is going to have on the job training. That’s why an orderly transition is important. Also - being an advisor in a previous administration is pretty darned good experience.

 

It's not really though. An advisor is someone whose opinion is generally worthless, taken with a grain of salt while the ones making the decisions, go out and make the decision. If I were wanting to employ you to say, run the electric grid and you told me that your experience was "I advised the person who ran a grid", I'd be like ROFL.

Hands-on experience at something, anything. Not "My opinions were less than crap in the Obama Administration, now Biden's going to tap me to do the actual work."

Hey, I'm not saying it's guaranteed that they fail. It's quite possible they succeed, I'm saying that their qualifications are less than desirable, outside of "hey, they look different".

 

As personal envoys not cabinet officials, again you are here criticizing when youbdon't know what you are talking about about my country. The last family member appointed that I recall was President Kennedy appointing his brother as Attorney General.

And BTW one of those envoys helped to bring the biggest advancements towards ME peace of the century.

 

Wonder if Joe took one of those little blue pills before he interviewed her

 

Not when the experience was wrought with failure in a failed administration. If Biden were smart he'd ask Pompeo and Kushner to stay on.

 

Yeah ... so if you were going to hire the head coach for an NFL team, you wouldn’t choose a guy who had played 4 years of pro ball then held some coaching jobs right up to the level of assistant coach. You’d go for a guy who used to run a packaging factory because hey - he was the one who actually made decisions.
It isn’t just about making decisions. It’s about knowing how to get things done. That’s what deputies and assistants and advisers do. A lot get delegated, so even people lower down the chain have to make decisions in the areas that have been delegated to them.
You do these people a disservice.

 

That’s a joke, right? It has to be.

 

So now your anti crime ?

 

And you voted for the O who had just about as measly record as Dan. And now with the Camel, you get even less. I think that's a real trend

 

I heard that Biden was going to create a new cabinet level position that required more diversity to represent diversity, (Secretary of Diversity) and the front runner, by far is the newly minted straight white male, Elliot Page....

 

This isn't quite an accurate analogy because even the assistant coaches did some...wait for it, COACHING. So they do have some experience(delegated, depending on what the head coach wanted them to do.), and thus it's not the complete blank that is an office advisor. They were a freaking sound board of opinions(to whom the consequences didn't matter) and now, they're all of a sudden going to matter, big time..

I would not make these hires, that's not how I'd run my company(and here, political administration) personally. It's not doing them a disservice, they're just not qualified.

 

It has to be true because it is.
