New SECDEF

[Burning Man]

Retired Gen Lloyd Austin will be the new SECDEF.  Former Commander of US CENTCOM.  Comes with a good pedigree.

Cool.  The military will be in good hands.

Kash Patel.

You do realize they will be out of a job roughly about 11am on 1/20/2021, right?  So not sure what Longy's point was.

Why would someone take a job knowing they will be fired in 6 weeks?

 

[longy]

Um, I'd have to research it a bit - but I believe some of the appointments can only be cancelled by the Senate. So unless the D's get a majority, can't happen

Because somebody has to do it ans choice 2 might be worse.

Dunno but that's a possiblity.

With the correct support and in the correct position, you can do a lot of grifting in 6 weeks.  Or alternatively, Trump seems to want to burn everything behind him to prevent Biden's administration from being able to be a success..

 

[bridhb]

Success for whom? 

I am going to go with the USA and the world.

 

[Sol Rosenberg]

I wonder whether his Birth Certificate will be deemed thought provoking.

It’s a terrible choice.  The worst possible pick   Many are saying so and they’re saying it very strongly.  Belief me.

 

[amphib44]

Success for whom? 

you are relentless

Long or short form, Rosy?

You forgot an emoji.  Can’t take your post seriously..

Why would he be fired in 6 weeks???  You idiots do realize that Biden picked him, right? This is not a Trump appointment. JFC!
