Not yet, I think it can still be saved.

By Hells Bells?

It would definitely be a relief. I hope he's made a good pitch for it.

Wouldn't he be better running the Bureau of Indians Affairs?

Janet Yellen - Treasury Secretary


I can't believe we're actually getting competent professionals for major positions instead of family members, cronies and donors.

Secretary of State was said to have influenced Biden to support the Iraq war.

Not surprised in the slightest by these scumbags getting jobs.

I think they are still spitballing names to hold the job and hopefully save the depts reputation.

Let me make a small prediction-You aren't going to be happy with 90%+ of Biden's picks, appointments, choices, or pretty much anything this Admin does. Suffice it to say--I believe you'll be as all or nothing as you are in the Policemen are parasites thread.

calling someone who voted for Iraq a scumbag shows your ignorance on the subject--How old were you when 9/11 happened? Have you ever been a citizen of a country that endured such an attack within it's own borders? have you ever served in the Military?

Probably not and as such, you cannot speak intelligently on the matter--Judging after the fact is bullshit. I was here, I have served I was 40, an adult capable of rationally processing everything that was going on at that time and 99% of the population was for going into Iraq.

So frankly take your critique of something you were what? 5 when it happened and shove it up your ass.

[DMT]

Sorry, not even close to 99% were in favor of invading Iraq. There were massive protests among those of us who were opposed, and I distinctly remember sitting in my car listening to Colin Powell lie his ass off in front of the UN Security Counsel and bitterly realizing our efforts had failed.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/8038/seventytwo-percent-americans-support-war-against-iraq.aspx

The percentage supporting the war is just slightly lower than the 76% approval registered last Thursday night -- the day after hostilities began -- but remains significantly higher than support levels in the weeks and months leading up to the beginning of hostilities. Approval levels for the concept of war had been running in the high 50% range in the months leading up to last week. Support increased to 66% on Monday night, March 17, after President Bush made his "ultimatum" speech in which he pledged military action if Saddam Hussein did not leave Iraq, and, as noted, jumped to 76% on Thursday night.

In 2004 and 2005 Colin Powell acknowledged that much of his 2003 UN presentation was inaccurate:

I looked at the four [sources] that [the CIA] gave me for [the mobile bio-labs], and they stood behind them, ... Now it appears not to be the case that it was that solid. At the time I was preparing the presentation, it was presented to me as being solid.[15] April 3, 2004

I feel terrible ... [giving the speech] ... It's a blot. I'm the one who presented it on behalf of the United States to the world, and [it] will always be a part of my record. It was painful. It's painful now.[16] Sep 8, 2005

The appointment names for Biden admin should be greatly reassuring. Just competent, accomplished, serious individuals to be taking up posts of importance, and treating the posts as such. trump admin took filling slots as matter of putting political hacks who would support crazy, so this putting best qualified people in posts is something to breathe easier about.

I would hope we would all by now know who is who on these boards, and appropriately ignore especially caustic and unfair shots. Dont think we can do much more than that, thankful competent adults will be filling positions.

The level of hostility you treat me with is unreal, but I'll respond to your complaints as if you aren't throwing a big tantrum.

First, I was in university when Iraq kicked off. All of my professors were telling us directly about the details of America using flawed evidence to push for an unjust war. I was extremely pissed off that your country manipulated people into thinking Iraq was connected to the 9/11 attacks. I could go on and on. But I was well informed of the evil perpetrated in Iraq at the time, and I still am. Your condescension is noted.

I already said the Ron Klein pick seemed decent. I know you want to paint me as irrational and crazy, but I have legit critiques. If you don't have anything to say on the TOPIC, let me make this clear, I am not the topic!

Nobody has even addressed me to respond, everybody just wants to make shitty puns and circle jerk that Trump lost for the next 4 years. I'm not in those posts saying "shut the fuck up", I'm simply giving my opinion on what Biden is actually doing. You want me to stop that for the next 4 years... or if Kamala Harris takes over, 8 or 12 years? Thats how long you want me to "shove it up my ass" for?

If you could stop badgering me with these attacks, I'd really appreciate it. When anybody gives their honest opinion without simply attempting to start shit, I respect their right to voice that opinion free of personal attacks. Trust that I'm simply stating my honest take, and if anyone else has an honest take they can share it too.

But we're clear where you stand on my posting. You don't like it. Fine. Grow up and end the tantrums. They're predictable and pathetic.

Also, for the record, GITH'S meltdown is over misreading what I wrote. I wrote that the guy "INFLUENCED Biden to support the Iraq war." What im saying is, how can you expect him to learn from his mistakes if he surrounds himself with the same scumbags who influenced him to make those mistakes?! He's leaning into his mistakes!

Is that not valid critique? I was promised "the most progressive presidency in American history". If I don't fight for what I was promised, I'm the sucker. Same rule for you guys.
