it works, just John McCain...

I am in favor of Haspel. But I wonder how many equally or better qualified men are being passed over because they are men.
Let’s suppose you have twenty years in at the company where you work. You have been doing the bosses’ job along with your own for the last eighteen months because he has been having heart problems. You are working seventy and eighty hour weeks. The boss retires. The company puts a woman or a black in his place, not because they are better qualified, but because they are a woman or a black. The company feels it needs to have a woman or a black in a high position. I was victim of this perceived racial need at my final company.
Has anyone asked her about Russian collusion yet?
Its not about her; its about obstructing Trump even if that means harming the country.
For these people, Trump is the enemy and if involves leaving the CIA without a director so be it.
Haspel had no role in the enhanced interrogation program. Yet McPain saw fit to slander her and advise his colleague to reject her on the basis of an outright lie.
He and the Democrats should be ashamed of themselves.
it works, just John McCain...
The RATS have chosen a hill to die on. It is a hill in the middle of a wasteland, observed by no one and desired by no one.
When their bleached bones are discovered, by some wanderers of the future, they will scratch their heads and ask themselves, “Why here?”
All are hypocrites, but McCain roars past hypocrite and achieves bitter old man giving Trump the finger status.
It’s all about his hurt feelers.
What a nimrod.
Yesterday we had to listen to the adulterous Kamala Harris try to skewer Haspel over morality
In this case it has been Haspel doing the job for 20 years and carrying the water for several past directors- seems a natural to become lead dog
My only reservation is that she worked for John Brennan
“My only reservation is that she worked for John Brennan”
I have worked for a few bad bosses and one outright crook. Working for the crook and not getting involved or enmeshed in his schemes was difficult. But I managed it by always anticipating what he’d want and having an answer or solution in the pipe that took away his first impulse to lie and cover up. Once, he demanded that I simply close out a military failure analysis with a lie. I replied, “I’ve been running a reliability test for three days. In twenty-four hours we will know the real cause and that answer will make you a hero as it will save lots of money.” He gave me this “look” as he was smart and knew what I was doing, but I again got my way and didn’t lie. I think he was a guy who just enjoyed his power and lying came easily for him. Lies had gotten him into the corner office so why change now?
Kamala Harris wants “yes” and “no” answers because those are the only ones that air-head can understand. She is Exhibit #1 for the failure of Affirmative Action.
Haspel is a career civil servant.
She’s not a political appointee. I can’t think of anyone more qualified to run the CIA.
Diversity is our strength?
This is the pertinent "Cliff Note". Some women are more equal than others?
“Diversity is our strength? “
One of those godawful motivational posters on the wall read, “Diversity is our goal.” Another read, “Strength and joy through diversity.” (That poster had a ring of dancing Gumby-like featureless “people” whose color represented every race except Caucasian.) They reminded me of updated versions of the Nazi and Communist propaganda posters. They came from a subscription and tithing arrangement with a company that supplied diversity training. Having a contract with that company checked a block on our government contracts for having a diversity training program.
“I am in favor of Haspel. But I wonder how many equally or better qualified men are being passed over because they are men.”
Oh Lord . . . why do we have to go there on this? SHE’S HIGHLY QUALIFIED. PERIOD.
Just awful crap. I'm sorry that people like us were 'bumped' because white males have lost favor in today's America. I wish someone were leading a charge against such bias, but we're shattered and demoralized, not to mention leaderless. My white g'sons are about to be screwed and there is very little I can do about it. Not enough people seems to care.
Manchin will posture so as to be to the right of Goldwater this year, since it’s a reelection year. The usual six year cycle when the Dims and Repukes from a conservative state have to pretend they are onboard with the voters.
I too have been caught in that mess. Affirmative Action is the worst kind of racism. It literally blocks the hiring of white men.
I know you just want to ask a stupid question, just to get your 2¢ in
