Welcome folks, to the Biden administration!

Per Dr. Mrs., bad choice.

Elaborate please

I’m not sure I’m sold, but I don’t know WTF I’m talking about

 

[rufus]

Yeah, I don't see what his relevant experience would be.

Also, he strikes me as just being too nice a guy for a job such as that. Interior Dept., Transportation, something like that. But not Intelligence.

 

[Kepler]

Elaborate please

He doesn't know anything about the topic, there are better choices, and risking the seat is dumb.

He's a really good guy, nothing against him. But he's just a backbencher who has said the right things. He brings nothing to the slot.

I don’t agree with King being the choice for DNI either, but he’s on the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services Committees...I’d say he’s at least in the ballpark of being qualified.

 

[dxmnkd316]

I want someone who has spent a career in intelligence.

Giving up a Senate seat that isn't safe is stupid

This.

It’s not stupid, it’s lethal.

With Trump doing his best to rile up his base and continue the charade of "Winning!", I'm starting to get some real "Ding Dong the Wings are Dead" vibes from this thread...

Eh, he's 1-15 in lawsuits with zero votes changed and he put Rudy in charge of it, who is the living embodiment of "Everything Trump Touches Dies"

I want someone who has spent a career in intelligence.

And there are so many choices.

In technical areas like intel, health, environment, the rule of thumb is: if we have heard of them they are a lightweight.

Per Dr. Mrs., this would be an excellent decision, not cuz she's got a vag (who cares?) but because she knows her sh-t.

As long as she can keep her emotions in check! Wouldn’t want anyone with an emotional temperament in charge

Any issues with the fact that she's on the board of Booz Allen?

Only that they're cut rate. Booz is the Manpower of defense/intel contractors.

Were they the Snowden contractor?

Edit, google. Yep. Gotcha. Now I get where they fall in the contractor world.

Lockheed Martin is Starbucks
