tvc184 Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 9 hours ago, Big girl said: How is he qualified to run that dept? What does it matter? We have a Secretary of Defense who served several years in the military, rising to the rank of major and served in combat who the Democrats didn’t think was qualified. Of course Leon Panetta served a massive two years in the military with a single promotion to First Lieutenant, was the Secretary of Defense under Obama. Panetta didn’t see any action and I don’t think he ever left the States. We have a Director of National Intelligence who has served for the last 23 years and so far (still serving) has risen to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and also has served in combat. Apparently the Democrats don’t think that her rising to the a rank only two promotions away from a general. As a member of Congress she was in the House Armed Services Committee, Foreign Affairs Committee and the Armed Services Subcommittee on Intelligence. So she has a quarter of a century if service in the military, as a member of Congress has seen classified information on armed services, foreign affairs and military intelligence but the Democrats doesn’t think that qualifies her. So again, what does it matter? He could be the head of thoracic surgery in a teaching hospital and it wouldn’t be enough for the Democrats that don’t like him. thetragichippy and LumRaiderFan 1 1 Quote

Trump is hiring unqualified white people like a good ole boy. Out of the 23 nominees for the top positions in the Trump administration (Secretaries of Education, State, Homeland Security, FBI, HUD, UN, etc) both confirmed and unconfirmed, who are not straight white males Scott Bessent - First openly gay Secretary of the Treasury. Pam Bondi - Female. Attorney General. Lori Chavez-DeTemer - Hispanic female. Secretary of Labor. Tulsi Gabbard - Female Asian/Pacific Islander, Director of National Intelligence. Kristi Noem - Female. Director of Homeland Security. Brooke Rollins - Female. Secretary of Agriculture. Marco Rubio - Hispanic. Secretary of State, highest position below the presidency. Scott Turner- Black. Secretary of HUD. Elise Stefanik - Female. UN Representative. Kash Patel - Asian. FBI Director. Kelly Loeffler - Female. Director of Small Business Administration. Linda McMahon - Female. Secretary of Department of Education. More than half of Trump’s nominations for the key positions in his administration are minorities and most have been confirmed. So much for the White/Male good ol’ boy system…. Honestly, I would be almost disappointed if you actually knew the truth but you never seem to disappoint. thetragichippy, Ty Cobb and mat 1 1 1 Quote

You sound ridiculous 🤣🤣🤣 Affirmative Action - Hiring or promoting a person based on diversity. But wait, that is discrimination! Let’s get rid of AA and promote DEI. That way we can give preference to diversity and inclusion. Quote

My good friend's daughter is in medical school. She is super smart, and she graduated with a biochemistry degree from UT with a high GPA. Would she have gotten into med school if it were not for DEI, or would a less qualified white person, whose dad knew the head of that dept, have gotten it? LumRaiderFan and tvc184 2 Quote
