Simply by adding experienced professionals Biden is already distancing himself by light years from the clowns surrounding 45. Sidney Powell? Rudy? Barr? Pompeo?

The days of government by cable news for cable news seem to be coming to an end. Whatever will we do? How can they be qualified if they haven't been babbling on TV non-stop?

Avril Haines, nominee for DNI has a fascinating background. Physics major at U Chicago. Worked as a car mechanic, Ph.d candidate at Johns Hopkins but opened and operated an independent bookstore in Fells Point, a pilot and GULC '01.
She's had a rather meteoric rise in the "deep state." Certainly qualified as opposed to the political hack Ratliffe currently in the position who is wholly unqualified.

Stunning. Let's get back to being that sort of beacon as a country. I know that a Biden presidency isn't fulfilling the promise of that but it's a baby step in the right direction if more in positions of power remember what's possible.

I know that a Biden presidency isn't fulfilling the promise of that but it's a baby step in the right direction if more in positions of power remember what's possible. I think Blinken must be (perhaps unknowingly or a sly allusion that most will not get) referencing the 761st Tank Battalion, Third Army under General Patton. Kareem Abdul Jabbar authored a book about this tank battalion. Jackie Robinson was a 1LT in the 761st until an MP referred an insubordination charge against him for refusing to move to the back of a bus but his CO refused to sign off on the court-martial and he was transferred to the 758th Tank Battalion where he was then acquitted of all charges.

Not sure how I'm supposed to trust this team when there isn't a single member of Biden's extended family on it. It's just medical professionals!

As a disabled veteran myself the best I can say about McDonough's nomination is that it is curious. But Butler also said out of IAVA’s three desired criteria for a VA secretary — a veteran, health-care experience and bureaucracy management — McDonough meets only the management requirement “at best.” Yet he has not overseen anything close to the size of VA, a workforce that has crested 300,000 employees. www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2020/12/10/mcdonough-veterans-groups/

Colin Kahl, the designee for the #3 job at the Pentagon (Undersecretary of Defense for Policy) spent some time on the faculty of GU's Security Studies Program. My interactions with him were fairly infrequent, but you could tell in about 30 seconds that he had a blazing fast CPU up in the ol' noggin.
