    deserves its own thread

    so as not to cloud other more focused non-Trump threads

    More accurate to say it's on a different level than Clinton. I don't think Biden has every appointed a relative to a position. Now sure how you compare level 10 to level nil.

    Clinton put his wife on the healthcare panel.
    Kennedy put his bro as AG.

    But Javanka, mediator of the Middle East, plague curer of the Americas, bringer of respiratory machines, holder of Chinese patents, and mother of dragons has no comparison.

    "Not as bad as Trump" is the new standard

    A family affair: Children and other relatives of Biden aides get administration jobs

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...504a22-cea4-11eb-8cd2-4e95230cfac2_story.html

    excerpt

    “While it may not be as bad as appointing your son or daughter to a top government post as Trump did with Jared and Ivanka, it is still bad,” said Walter Shaub, who served as director of the Office of Government Ethics from 2013 to 2017. “ ‘Not as bad as Trump’ cannot be the new standard.”

    Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, worked in the White House as unpaid senior advisers, moves that outraged ethics experts, even as a Justice Department opinion found that the president has special hiring authorities. Some relatives of top Trump officials and aides also were hired into the administration.

    Beyond children, other relatives of top Biden aides also have secured high-level administration jobs or nominations. They include the wife of White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain and the sister of White House press secretary Jen Psaki.

    Isn't that how big Catholic families do it? Just sayin...

    But like i mentioned in the other thread, the people are in a hard bind to get lawmakers to hold themselves accountable. This isn't a new standard, just the old standard with newer scrutiny.

    I think about all our tax dollars wasted on secret service protection as they jet set around the world on their money making ventures.
