Haven’t followed the news much today, but seems like one side is mad that a
staffer called Republicans a bunch of ****ers,
and that a First Lady with a PhD calls herself doctor,
and the other side is mad that the president is ignoring the pandemic and overturning the election
couldn'ta said it better
sure are some clever people out there
guess we should all get re-used to the Faux Scandal of the Day
things like the color of suits or the number of states or vegetable gardens or, cries and blabbering's of tyranny over mask requirements during a pandemic for the stupid ****s that have little to no respect for their fellow citizens
Or never really understood the meaning of, tyranny

WASHINGTON — President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. has chosen Representative Deb Haaland, Democrat of New Mexico, to lead the Interior Department, according to people familiar with the decision, a move that would make history: If confirmed by the Senate, she would be the first Native American appointed to a cabinet secretary position.
Ms. Haaland would not only head the federal agency most responsible for the well-being of the nation’s 1.9 million Indigenous people, but also would play a central role in implementing Mr. Biden’s ambitious environmental and climate change agenda. As head of the agency that oversees 500 million acres of public lands, including national parks, oil and gas drilling sites, and endangered species habitat, she would be entrusted to restore federal protections to vast swathes of land and water that the Trump administration has opened up to drilling, mining, logging and construction.
In addition, she would oversee the Bureau of Indian Education and the Bureau of Trust Funds Administration, which manages the financial assets of American Indians held in trust.

Expects Yuge Games
i know he was elected by the American people and all that jazz but if we are going to ask the qualifications question, I would start with this guy...i might add that my own biases are in favor of experience, accomplishment and credentials...which is one of many reasons i wasn't too impressed by very poorly chosen one and many of the people who ended up surrounding him

anyone remember Ryan Zinke...there are some uncanny parallels with Haaland...failed candidate for lieutenant governor of a small state...a couple terms in the House...oh but he was part of a fraudulent scheme pitching fake technology devices...that's a new one...interesting qualification

well...it is historic in that sense...her qualifications are not too different than guys like Zinke (and certainly she seems free of some of the shadier activities he was involved in)...which means she probably won't be chartering very expensive flights and helicopter rides for official travel the way he did or going for expensive office upgrades...Zinke also accepted free housing from people...never mind that was Scott Pruitt...i get them confused sometimes

to my mind ethnicity goes a long way here.
Kinda good idea having a Native American overseeing -- Native American affairs.
Her other qualification ?
she isn't on the fossil fuel payroll
She isn't in quarantine
had Biden announced anyone short of Zinke , Dr Ben Carson or Watt, MAGA would disapprove.
I am withholding judgement until she orders a desk
