The kids won't be at home, they'll be working. I mean, it's like you're not even trying to keep up, Danny.

Easy. All the fired government employees will be relocated to labor camps where they can work agricultural jobs and put roofs on Edwards’ houses.

Hakeem Jeffries says that the Ethics Committee can do whatever it wants in regards to covering up Matt Gaetz's underage sex scandal.

Dems are always afraid to fight.

Can it be requested through an FOI request?

I hear they are going to name Epstein's ghost to head the department of Children and Family Services.

I heard it was Casey Anthony.

Head of Early Childhood Development.

And yet even some of the parody appointments are more qualified than most of the past four years appointees.

GrantDawg · Yesterday, 09:50 PM

Jon has been named head of the Bureau of Diversity and Inclusion.

I'm definitely the right man for that job.

It's definitely not a cult.

So not just a Christian-Nationalist, but also a twice divorced rapist who has cheated on all his wives.... the perfect modern conservative.

Divorce…People doing people things. Cheating on a spouse is rampant in both parties but I’m guessing by your comment it’s more rampant in the Democrat party? Any idea why the sexual assault charges were dropped?

This isn't about parties it's about picking the right person to lead our military. Trump considered him during his last administration and dropped it because initial vetting didn't look good. They didn't vet him at all this time and it sounds like they may ask him to bow out of his nomination because they expect more to come out.

You can't be so far up the GOP's ass that you think this guy is a good choice? There are plenty of actually qualified people out there that would be good choices. This guy was picked simply because Trump likes Fox and Friends and served in the military.

Let's look at his qualifications:

Academically he does have degrees from Princeton and Harvard. He was an infantry Major and did multiple deployments into combat zones. The bronze stars look nice but it was a standard end of tour award for senior NCOs and officers that were deployed to combat zones during those times. Not knocking there but they shouldn't be used as a qualification for anything.

He worked at Bear Stearns for a couple years leading up to its collapse in '08. Zero foreign policy experience. Never been the head of a large or even mid sized company. He did lead a tiny non-profit I guess.

Now we get into the tattoos that got him flagged by the military as a security threat. The multiple divorces and affairs. The sexual assault allegations.

Most of his career, outside of the military, has been working for partisan think tanks and working on one of the most partisan television programs.

Let's look at someone like Mike Waltz:

26 years active duty. Former special forces, green beret, etc. 4 Bronze Stars, 2 with valor, which means they weren't just end of tour awards. Worked in the Pentagon as a defense policy director for secretaries of defense Donald Rumsfeld and Robert Gates. Worked in the White House as the president's counterterrorism advisor. Was a founder of Metis Solutions, an analytical company that was sold for $92 million. He's served in the House since 2018.

That's just pulling the qualifications of the one other name I saw brought up as a potential Trump Secretary of Defense.
