b_m_b_m_b_m Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 We need to transition away from the president elect thread. Having appointments and election related stuff in one thread makes no sense.

Democratic opposition mounts to granting waiver for retired Gen. Lloyd Austin to lead Pentagon WWW.AXIOS.COM Austin hasn't been retired from the military for the requisite seven years.

CitizenVectron Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 It kind of sounds like Biden is appointing people that wanted to be in the cabinet...but in totally different positions than where their expertise lay (not that Pete is really an expert at any of these things). I don't really get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 This stuff is great. But DOT is mostly FAA (staff wise) and building highways ($$$ wise) as mandated by the shitty congress. Like I said, a mayor is probably a good fit for DOT. He could do well, but he's probably not the most qualified person for the job. (Don't come at me about Trump's picks by not being married to a literal party leader he's better than Chao. The worst Dems are almost always better than the best of Republicans) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sucks with Obama is that lahood was the token.... republican that he put in the cabinet. A good progressive pick would have been great! Instead we got a disinterested republican and while there were some bright spots he was still a republican Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
