...here's the background check on Trump's choice for Ambassador to NATO...it appears that no Military or Foreign Service experience is required...but somehow Matt Whitaker's bio caught their eye...

1982: 🚩Transferred to Howard University, is held back.
1986: Graduated Howard University
🚩 No US Diploma and took 5yrs to complete a 4yr undergraduate degree.
🚩🚩Kamala got into law school through an affirmative action program called the Legal Education Opportunity Program. As the underachieving daughter of Professors, Kamala is a prime example of how AA was abused, and why it is illegal, today.

1991: Staff Lawyer
1992: Staff Lawyer, then Employment is terminated.
1993: 🚩Began 10 year affair with married man Willie Brown, twice her age.
(Finally registered to vote at Age 29, despite telling everyone she was an avid “feedumb” advocate since childhood.)
1994: 🚩Willie appointed her to high-paying job on Unemployment Insurance Board.
🚩Kamala had no Insurance Experience though, so the Press took notice of inappropriately appointing his mistress to public political positions & wrote about it, even in, eg, The Los Angeles Times, etc.
1995: 🚩Kamala quit that Board as Willie appointed her to a different high-paying one that required fewer hours and just once a month meetings - CA Medical Asst. Commission.

2001: Same
2002: 🚩Lied about Prosecutorial Record. Press was all over it.
(🚩🚩Google Search shows no video, pics or any evidence of Kamala Harris actually prosecuting a case, talking to press after she did, etc., like normal DAs Office Attorneys do, etc., bc she never actually did.)

choosing such a truly incompetent like Kristi Noem...and Pete Hegseth...and Pam Bondi...and Matt Whitaker...and of course, Matt Gaetz....nevermind RFK, Jr. Do you somehow get a kick out of seeing such a "Rogue's Gallery" lined up?
As for Kamala Harris...you left out (again, I believe) laudable accomplishments by her...such as her $23.5M settlement with McKesson over inflated drug prices,.....https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-kamala-d-harris-recovers-235-million-settlement-mckesson-over
or her multiple successes in other areas..https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/what-to-know-about-kamala-harris-record-as-california-attorney-general/
By ANY measure, Kamala Harris is superior to Donald Trump...Intellect...Accomplishment...Ethics...Morality...Public Service. Not at all sure why you fail to see this...DJT is the absolute WORST among us...plus he's Putin's Lapdog...and that of any true billionaire who wants to buy him (See Elon Musk...Peter Thiel...etc.)...also, he has no rudder or moral compass.
numerous and substantive...for instance, when the Big Banks offered something on the order of $2-4B for unfair practices stemming from the 2008 financial disaster, she took on Jamie Dimon and ended up getting $20B... for her constituents...an excellent example of Public Service
Have you ever pulled off such a benefit for others? KH has made good use of her education and legal experience...plus she's tough as nails...just review her questioning of Bill Barr when she was a Senator...left BB mumbling. Just the kind of Strength you want in a national leader.
Kamala Harris would/should have been the logical choice for our 47th President...but for a campaign that didn't communicate effectively with the non-college educated electorate...along with doses of Race and Misogyny. It's really hard for a woman right now to get accepted as a U.S. President...much less a woman of color.
Now we're stuck with an easy mark for Plutocrats and Vladimir Putin...STRAP IN.
serve this country, along with his legal career...and I've told him so...we just differ on some issues that don't involve pulling G's.
insults at her...Oh, and she always tells the Truth, and backs it up with evidence
everything under the sun...but sadly lacking in any definition or understanding of them. As for me, I'm sharing Rachel Maddow's "Vetting" of Trump appointees who would never be presented to the Senate for confirmation by any former President, Republican or Democrat...except for the equally incompetent, Donald Trump.
...here's an excerpt from that bio...
--------------------
President-elect Joe Biden selected Garland for the position of United States attorney general, with news of the selection coming on January 6, 2021.[109][110] He was formally nominated by Biden on January 20, after Biden took office.[111] In Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings, Garland vowed to oversee vigorous prosecution of those who stormed the United States Capitol, and other domestic extremists, drawing on his experience prosecuting the perpetrators of the Oklahoma City bombing.[112][113][114] Garland said it was likely the Biden administration would place a moratorium on use of the federal death penalty and expressed reservations about the death penalty in light of the "almost randomness or arbitrariness of its application."[114] He pledged to protect equal justice under law and reinvigorate the DOJ Civil Rights Division, which, according to some media figures, languished under the Trump administration.[113][115] Garland affirmed that the Justice Department would remain independent under his leadership.[114] The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 15–7 to advance Garland's nomination to the Senate floor,[116][117] and on March 10, the Senate confirmed Garland's nomination by a vote of 70–30.[118][112][119] He was sworn in on March 11, 2021, by Assistant Attorney General for Administration Lee Lofthus.[120]
------------------
Clearly, those who do know him find him to be a good and qualified attorney/jurist. The main criticism is that he didn't pursue prosecutions against Donald Trump hard enough or fast enough.
And you'd choose Matt Gaetz over him...thanks for painting a clearer picture of who you are.
extremely high, year after year, after year....no "Weaponizaton" involved...however, during Trump's first term he had his AG, Bill Barr, remove all references to "Individual-1" removed from the charging document that had sent Michael Cohen to prison for doing DJT's bidding wrt Stormy Daniels...that's what you call "Lawfare"...and it was witnessed and documented by the lead attorney for the Southern District of New York, Geoffrey Berman, who names names, dates and documentation.
observations of how totally unqualified he is…just another clown in Trump’s “Make America Great” Clown Show…
Unqualified nominees for important roles in the government he’s forming. It’s not surprising that you would object to me bringing that up.
Has Rachel Maddow weighed in on that?
know what NATIO is...
...now what what makes you think Matt Whitaker is qualified to be our Ambassador to NATO?
Probably use the military to start arresting liberals to.
double down?
Oh, almost forgot...Rachel will be going back to 5 days/wk starting on Jan. 20th, and continuing to provide truthful analyses of Trump's and his administration's performances for his first 100 days in office.
30 days in office he won’t use the military to arrest U.S. citizens, as in political opponents and news reporters like Maddow. What you think?
We’ve already dispensed??? lol. Oh yea, she lied about the Trump Vaccine and you getting it proves my point.
...more from the attached article...
--------------------
Other elements of the team’s plan include bolstering the ranks of ICE officers with law enforcement officials who would be temporarily reassigned from other agencies, and with state National Guardsmen and federal troops activated to enforce the law on domestic soil under the Insurrection Act.
-------------------
You're on a roll...do you ever tired of being wrong in a public forum so often? Going back to Rachel and Vaccines...it was CDC Director, Dr. Walensky, who made to erroneous claim you refer to...Rachel just repeated it, and had no way of knowing if it was right or wrong, so it's impossible for her to know it wasn't totally accurate (even the doctors who called Dr. Walensky out on this didn't do so until AFTER the Maddow interview) ...not harmful at all, btw, but certainly not accurate. You're wrong about her lying, so you should do the right thing and apologize.
While we're on the subject of COVID and Lies...what's your reaction to DJT being told how deadly COVID was, back in late January of 2020...and admitted to in a taped recording with Bob Woodward in February, yet told the American public it was no worse than the common seasonal Flu and would go away on its own when the warm weather returned? Now, that's what I call a known LIE...agree or disagree?
Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/18/us/politics/trump-military-mass-deportation.html
mass deportations of illegals. Nice try though. I’ll take it you pass on the wager.
At least you admit she was wrong now. Trump was wrong and Fauci, telling us he was more concerned about influenza than COVID. He was either wrong or lied.
you share it as well...and it's Rachel's also, given Trump's statements...such as reported in the linked article, entitled "Trump suggests he’ll use the military on ‘the enemy from within’ the U.S. if he’s reelected"
Here's an excepted quote by Trump from that article...
------------------
“I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within,” Trump said. He added: “We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics. And I think they’re the big — and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen.”
Trump has repeatedly invoked the phrase “enemy from within” in recent speeches. On Saturday, he used it to refer to Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a prominent Trump critic who oversaw the congressional investigation that led to Trump’s first impeachment. Schiff is now running for the Senate.
-----------------
This is very dangerous rhetoric from a U.S. President...shockingly close to what you'd expect to hear from someone like Putin who will not tolerate any opposition (see "Navalny")
The military is rarely used for this. When it is it’s to assist law enforcement. Maddow isn’t going to be put in some camp.
