There is word that retired Four Star General Lloyd Austin will be the next Defence Secretary. That's a good one from President elect Biden. If Gen Austin is confirmed by the Senate, he would be the first African American to be the Secretary of Defense in American History. 8 Likes 1 Share |

PrideofLincoln2: Why could he not pick a civilian. I read that his confirmation may not even be as easy as Mattis was and Biden broke the norm by nominating someone who retired 7 years ago he could be granted a waiver and confirmed since Michele Flournoy could not get it because progressives called her a war hawk why should he when the same progressives are complaining that he is a part of one Raytheon company that is a weapon manufacturer or defense contractor Biden should have appointed a civilian and one with no ties of being a defense contractor 1 Like |

Reports say Biden plans to announce his pick for AG this week lol. Na that one be the koko even republicans are interested in knowing who it is. I would have loved a Sally Yates but I don't know if she would be confirmed I expect Graham to ask her stupid questions about Trump. If it is not Yates anybody will do abeg so far the person deal with Trump and his enablers. 3 Likes 1 Share |

He retired few years ago and he's considered a civilian now but he was in charge of US Central Command as a Four Star General. We just have to see how it works out but I think he will be confirmed by the Senate. AmazonTopaz: 1 Like |

PrideofLincoln2:This is the only Biden pick I am disappointed in. Just like the James Mattis issue this one will need a waiver and Biden said he wanted to correct the Trump abnormality. I feel it was as a result of pressure remember last week he was asked if he will apppint a black person to a top cabinet position that could be the reason for this pick.If Michele Flournoy a civilian could not get it why him?some even argued Flournoy she was well qualified although many critics have argued her decisions have been a blunder.I don't know much about her so I quoted both sides. I am interested in his pick for AG.Stupid Lindsey said he would not seat a Biden AG if he/she does not promise to not prosecute Trump what a fool he is because that is impossible to do but the dems have used it as a campaign push to the Georgia senate runoff |

shegzhkn:Even on twitter and everywhere many are not pleased with this pick. I hope it is not true seriously anyway it is Biden's choice and cabinet but still this pick is a no no many are not happy with this pick you cannot ditch Michele Flournoy for this man did Biden team properly vet this man they have even brought out some controversial stance he said about Syria and ISIS.This has even put dem senators against Mattis confirmation 4 years ago in a tough spot to go against their word and confirm him(They should not).I won't feel bad if he does not get confirmed. There are other qualified people not army generals to pick from |

bayelsaowei:Apart from his race I see nothing phenomenal and special of his pick. You have to see the displeasure following his nomination from people. Biden was pressured to pick him because of race nothing more I remember reporters asking him on Friday if he would pick a black for AG/Defense secetary and I am sure this was why.There are well qualified people for the post not him.Anyway it is Biden's choice and cabinet |

shegzhkn:I know you did not like Michele Flournoy so I bet you would not like this one too. Why not a civilian different entirely to run the pentagon Anyway I wish them well but Biden should do better I don't think he will be confirmed he needs a waiver first then 60 votes for confirmation Senator Jack Reed once said the senate should not grant waivers. |

shegzhkn:The worries about her were overblown and she was more qualified than this one or Johnson. It is funny that one group called codepink or so were against her nomination but kept quiet on this one that is also a defense contractor talk about hypocrisy. Anyway I want to believe Biden knew what he was doing when he picked him and wish them all well. 1 Like |

AmazonTopaz: I think you are getting too worried about the pick..I think he is over qualified like the others in his team despite the diversity..And kindly watch out for more competent Black Men and women to serve on his team..It is a debt Biden has to pay because they gave him the presidency right from the primaries up till now and ended up saving America from the Dictator. In other news,Have you heard Trump aids are saying when Trump travels for the holidays to Mara la go,He might just stay there permanently and not return to the WH..Oloshi 3 Likes 1 Share |

happney65:Ok then. As for Trump I have not heard of it he can go to hell the media should stop covering him he craves for attention and should be ignored.Trump hates to be ignored and loves attention so if he is ignored that will be good. I am just appalled at republicans like Ted Cruz offering to represent the Trump campaign in the SCOTUS in a case concerning Pennsylvania this is very disturbing because Trump's plague has set a bad precedent that may become a norm in the GOP.Imagine if they lose in the midtems this same nonsense may play out again |

Timiofak: Most Ivy League graduate and get good jobs by virtue of being among the top tier students whom employers need.They are quite expensive and loan out students. Public Universities , some degrees on offer are just absurd.They will hardly get you a job. Public universities debts is huge because of more students I agree. Many graduates end up doing menial jobs, especially immigrants. |

AmazonTopaz: Durham has his sights supposedly on FBI agents who spied on Trump.Sally Yates was acting AG when they cooked up the scheme. If Republicans get to win Georgia , Sally Yates won't pass muster |
Re: American Politics Thread - 2024 Elections — Biden’s Presidency! by PrideofLincoln2: 2:23pm On Dec 08, 2020 |
AmazonTopaz:No, this is a well known Four Star General that was well respected but he wasn't a media darling and there's no where in the constitution that said a Four Star General couldn't be a Secretary of Defense but you rightly said that he would need a waiver. A lot of opposition to General Austin has to do with his skin color but the press wouldn't admit to that. Ms Lindsey Graham is butthurt with Trump losing. 2 Likes 1 Share |

OgaTheTop2:You are spot on my Buddy. I have always hated credit but you can't do much in America without credit but what I do is that I just put the charge on my CC and pay it off after the end of the billing service. About the mortgage, my wife makes sure we put at least $200 more and sometimes we put $500 more on our monthly mortgage and before you know, you hav ed cut several years out of your mortgage years plus the interest too. These Shylocks love to prey on people and I know all their tricks and I refused to fall victims to their greed. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Trump will still win this election folks. Hold the line, don't lose hope. The state of Texas just filed a suit at the SCOTUS to suspend election results in Wisconsin, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Michigan due to the rampant, statewide irregularities that characterised the last voting exercise in those states. https://www.theepochtimes.com/texas-files-supreme-court-election-lawsuit-against-four-battleground-states_3609460.html |

PDPGuy: The suit contains matters that has already been decided in other courts, they are either recycling propaganda or lawsuit, I haven't seen anything like this before, lawyers in Nigeria won't even do this. This is the rubbish that keeps people like ono optimistic, we have to invest in education. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
