President-elect Joe Biden is expected to take a historic step and select a woman to head the Pentagon for the first time, shattering one of the few remaining barriers to women in the department and the presidential Cabinet. Michele Flournoy, a politically moderate Pentagon veteran, is regarded by U.S. officials and political insiders as a top choice for the position. Her selection would come on the heels of a tumultuous Pentagon period that has seen five men hold the top job under President Trump. The most recent defense secretary to go was Mark Esper, who was fired by Trump on Monday after pushing back on issues including troop withdrawals and the use of the military to quell civilian unrest.
Why not? Iirc the top 3 defense industry CEO's are women. It makes for a good pr touch like you are for peace or something.
Haven’t seen any evidence to support that she’s a shill to the war machine but I’ll do some homework on that since you mention it.
Why don’t you actually just wait and see what a Biden admin is going to look like before you brand it a sellout war mongering corporate shill. Dem socialists can’t even wait till Trump is out of the office to start sh$ting on Biden. I think we need at least a couple months to just relax the F out please.
Just to point out that this term has frequently been used by left-wing terrorists. Interesting to see that you use the same lingo.
I'm pretty sure former Presidents do not go back into government positions. Maybe a special envoy or mediator of some peace talks. But Mr and Mrs Obama have a big deal going with Netflix, plus he's earned the right to relax.
I don't know if he coined the term but that radical left winger President Eisenhower certainly used it.
google. samantha powers "war monger" I had to do it, to refresh the old memory. She is a liberal hawk and I suppose was a Rhodes Scholar/Ivy PhD or something, which is not necessarily incompatible with being stupid when it comes to wars.
But you have to be careful with that, as you dont want to give the GOP anything (true or not) to use against her. If she want to run in 2yrs, I think it would be better she stays in Georgia and prep for that cos Kemp is going to rig it.
Biden Fills Economic Posts With Experts on Systemic Racism Previous administrations haven’t made race scholarship such a clear priority. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...conomic-posts-with-experts-on-systemic-racism When it comes to economic policy, President-elect Joe Biden is putting racial disparities high on the agenda as he assembles his administration. The incoming president tapped Mehrsa Baradaran, whose book “The Color of Money” is a key reference on the racial wealth gap, to prepare the Treasury Department for the transition. She’s joined by Lisa Cook, an economist at Michigan State University, on the “landing team” for the Federal Reserve and banking and securities regulators. They are among more than 500 experts who will focus on race as they shape Biden’s policies on issues like housing, health and small-business lending. Baradaran declined to comment, and Cook referred questions to the Biden team. ...
FIVE??? I mean... I just... The last four years have been so wack, that this is actually a minor incident in a mountain of incidents.
Please appoint a new chairman of the FCC. Ajit Pai needs to go. Net neutrality is never something that should have been politicized.
