Nothing federal is “bipartisan” anymore, and that includes Federal Express.
All government funded, sponsored, forums and conferences are avenues of money for cronies and political supporters. Never bring in a right leaning participant unless you want your career to come to a screeching halt.
Partnerships and cooperative agreements are another means of funding the lefties or creating deniability for government employees. You get the funding, then transfer the funds to a non-governmental org through a cooperative agreement or partnership. They then put on the conference or forum. This allows managers to obligate money by the end of the fiscal year and thus not take a hit to their future allotments for not spending all of their funding, and it allows them to fund crazies without appearing that the government directly paid for it. To be a higher level manager in government means being a master of the money shell game.
Why is the FEC sponsoring overtly sexist political events?
Anyone who thinks the FEC is even “supposedly” non-partisan is a moron.
Did the forum include a wet t-shirt contest?
you probably don’t want to see that one;)
Good point!
Reminds me of the 2008, 2012 “debates”. (Check the transcript, Candy)
