The idea of DEI ( diversity, equity, inclusion ) , sounds nice until you uncover the damage it has on real life matters. We use to be a nation that depended on knowledge , finding the best candidates to fill the ranks of private corporations, or governments and the departments within . That was than, but now it seems knowledge takes a backseat to skin color or sexual preference and gender.. look at the Vice President, she’s the most unqualified person to ever hold that title but she is the first black woman. She has done nothing that she was assigned to do.. except once in a while she try’s to give a uplifting speech but leaves people confused with her unintelligible word salad… look at the transportation secretary , the first homosexual to hold that job, but with doors flying off planes because of missing bolts, trains derailing and poisoning small towns because of human error, planes crashing into other planes because of human error, is this the best person for that job? The only transportation experience this guy has is experience at pulling a train..and now we find out that our secretary of defense was out of commission for 10 days and our president was unaware this… where is the accountability for all the ineptness within this administration.. why does this White House put looks before experience in these very important jobs..I can’t wait till the grown ups are back in the White House. What we have now is like the sweat hogs from “welcome back Kotter”…

Yea, I can explain. If I’m going to hire someone in my welding business to come work as a welder, I’m looking at applications for someone experienced in welding, I’m not looking at my current field of employees and thinking, I need another White guy or a women. I’m looking to hire the best applicant from the applications in front of me whoever that may be. But to tell myself , I’m going to hire a gay or black just to make my company look more inclusive. No way, That is a road to failure….Even school children understand that concept , so what part don’t you understand…

Hey that's great. Nobody's telling you to hire less than the best. DEI just says to be open to hiring people other than cis white males. So, in your situation, would you turn down a female welder with 10 years experience and good references over a good Christian male with only 18 months experience? What if the woman is a lesbian? What if the guy is Muslim? What if one of the applicants is Democrat?

Just saying.

Again, the point being goes over your head…. I will repeat what I said.. the best employee for the job I am hiring for,, NO MATTER their gender or race or sexual preference.. that is the basis of a successful business, and most employers apply that reasoning in the hiring process… what Biden did was disqualify a whole group of people( white men) from his VP selection…and look at the results we get… another waste of a government position….

Sure, I get it. You guys like to hate on Kamala Harris, but she's done as good a job as most any other VP. So who, in your mind, should Biden have picked, if he wanted a white male? I'm not sure Biden first decided to pick a black female as much as his first pick was Kamala Harris, who brought youth and modern style to the ticket, and better appealed to black females, which is a large part of the Democratic base. I don't think Biden ever seriously considered the other's on his "short list" as he was already friends with Harris, but the DNC wanted suspense to keep people talking about it. But seriously, consider other VPs. Was Pence or Cheney or even Biden better as VP? I don't think so.

Pence was good for bringing the evangelical votes, he was alright , he stayed more in the shadows and therefore brought no controversy, Cheney was a strong voice for Bush , probably the most effective VP in decades..But to be seriously honest , Kamala is a train wreck. She is a constant source of embarrassment for this administration. I think this is why we never see her..I think he wanted someone that was virtually unknown that would have no real voice in his administration.. Who should Biden have picked? .. someone more moderate like Senator Manchiun may have kept his administration from becoming the poster child of wokeness, Biden is far left of Moderate..

You're right. Kamala Harris never shot her lawyer in the face (that we know of).

Lol… that’s a good one… but she needs no gun. Shes doing much more damage by shooting her mouth off with lies and telling us how we ought to think. Only 1 in 3 people have faith in Joes and Kamala’s job performance and I’ll bet it gets worse from here on out…

Sure, and Trump's only getting half of Republican votes. We all saw the mess he left, so it'll be an easy job to give the public real results this year. In the meantime, Harris is speaking all around the country, fundraising, and the Biden Harris campaign has raised record amounts, while Trump is blowing $millions on legal bills and getting kicked off more ballots.

I think it's a trap. They're letting Republicans pick Trump, and around late Spring, after Trump's locked it up, all the criminal convictions start going and SCOTUS rules Trump ineligible under the 14th Amendment (plain language). Then we watch the scrambling and crying and the MAGA faithful staying home on Election Day. I won't even say "I told you so" because I know it'll hurt and many of my friends love Trump.

What is the ‘trap’ and who are the ‘they’ that are letting republicans pick Trump? Trump is riding the wave that should have washed ashore in 2020. But unless the Democratic Party has another plan to sensor very relative information that would keep folks from voting for Biden , I think Trump will be elected as the 47th President.. There is a big difference between now and 2020. The difference is that now we see a sample of Joe Biden’s work and I can’t believe that anybody is impressed with it.. What hurt Trump was a once in a lifetime pandemic that brought out untested theory’s and experimental practices that virtually shut down our economy and work force.. until that point in time the economy was great , unemployment was at a all time low. Peoples paychecks were going farther than they do now. We didn’t have tens of thousands of unknown immigrants being allowed entrance into the USA every month , and we weren’t on the verge of a new mid-east war..these aren’t arguable statements they are facts…
