Please tell us which appointees are not qualified.

Based on the performance of this administration - none of them.
They are more concerned about "diversity" than actual qualifications.

Really? Biden came into office with a dumpster fire of a country, virus spreading, economy crashed, Russia occupying and threatening Ukraine with a NATO skeptical of the US role in the world.

Where we are now: Best Economy In the World, GDP growing, Unemployment at record lows, inflation shrinking to normal levels, Russia being held in check and soon to be run out of Ukraine, NATO expanded to now include Sweden, Finland and soon to add Ukraine.

Still work to be done, but sheesh, what world are you living in?

It sure is when it is at the expense of actual merit.

Mike Flynn is your idea of merit probably.

Oh FFS. He's as moderate as they come. And I'll say it: Anyone who says otherwise has a facist agenda.

PERIOD.

Two conservatives meet each other.

First one: "I'm a conservative."

Second one: "Awesome. Me too. Want to go to a BBQ?"

First one: "Absolutely!"

Two leftists meet each other.

First one: "I'm a leftist."

Second one: "Oh really? We'll see about that."

The Deputy Secretary for Treasury is not qualified.

Nothing and I believe he is a fine person. Just not necessarily has the experience to be the 2nd highest position and potential acting secretary at a top department. Compare his qualifications to any of the previous Deputies. Ignore the Trump administration for a moment and look at the previous deputies and see how they compare to those that held the position in previous administrations.

Come on, people. It's hard to pretend his administration isn't to the left of what most people want, going by the polls. He's only moderate in the eyes of the far left. I do say this as someone who does agree and support some of what the administration has done. But in terms of appointees, the support for affirmative action and identity politics, language against the opposition, supporting transgender and gender ideology, immigration, failure of the border, he's very much to the left. Deffo no moderate president.

Going by the polls of what most people want, we want GUN CONTROL. The overwhelming majority do, in poll after poll. Anyone who doesn't is a far right wing lunatic whose views of the world and what's moderate are highly skewed and very much questionable.

That's one issue. You can't evaluate someone's politics based entirely on one issue.

He is not.

He is a divisive, angry leftist. He has caved to the demands of the far left.
The ONLY thing I agree with him on is not to veto the actions of Congress when it comes to overturning the DC crime bill.
He doesn't have a choice with this one. Because, if he vetoed it, it would prove he is not tough on crime.

Agree. He has followed in the footsteps of his last boss. That vicious shouting of Jeremiah Wright still gives me nightmares:
“God DAMN America!” from the pulpit that they visited every Sunday for decades.

As a native Washingtonian, I had never heard anything so divisive in my entire life. Oh, and I had the historic ‘68 MLK marches right outside our front door, no doubt the only one on this forum.

I know this is asking a lot, but if you don’t mind could you tell us your feelings during that time? Or not yours if that’s weird, but what you sensed about the community and the larger society?

That’s not an answer to my question. You implied that people were appointed due to DEI as opposed to being qualified.

They are very simple minded and operate on cliche’s. Trump understands the complexities and has a massive capacity intellectually. That’s how he kept the world peaceful and no invasions. The poor swamp was seething in embarrassment and inferiority.

This is hilarious! But you forgot the /s for sarcasm PP.

People on the left do not refer to themselves as leftists, that is a term created by the right and projected on to the left. No one calls conservatives "rightists" it is a stupid term that people on the right think it some sort of perjorative.
