You can do both. Regarding womanizing and alcohol consumption, consider the results of the 1960 Democrat Convention.

I really need you to think about that…… do you want a leader of men or an officer with career ambitions. Something very cynical about this. I think a review of history will reflect that the Venn diagrams for "ambitious" and "leader of men" intersect. And it is in that intersecting part that we should be looking for our cabinet heads. 56 minutes ago, Commsvet11 said: I noticed you left out the president that got BJ from a twenty some in the Oval Office but we all know why you did that I did that because it is ancient history. But go ahead, throw it in there. He was in his 40s, so no, not excusable. The difference is he was elected (like Trump) despite the electorate's full awareness of his moral failings. Here we are talking about appointing someone from a vast universe of possible appointees.
BillsFanNC Posted December 7, 2024 Author Posted December 7, 2024 ⬆️ How old is Finding anyway? I'm guessing he's got 5+ years on me. I'm going with 58.
BillsFanNC Posted December 8, 2024 Author Posted December 8, 2024 Is Finding behind this type of crap? You betcha!
Unforgiven Posted December 8, 2024 Posted December 8, 2024 lol tibidiot still here? I find it hysterical he has no other purpose here but troll people he despises. Shocking how anyone still directly responds to this pos. What a truly sad little person. 2

Verifying that a political appointee doesn't have a criminal record is one thing, or that she employed an illegal immigrant and beat the tax man while angling for director of IRS is another. When background checks devolve into the absurdity of the Brett Kavanaugh spectacle, where unfounded allegations of wrongdoing can derail a person's prospects, I'm not a fan. 1

I thought the Kavanaugh thing was ridiculous. You can't ask a 50-something man to refute allegations about something an accuser said happened when he was 17. But this is different. Guy's own mother said he was out of control just about 7 years ago, when he was well into his 30s. 1

I can't remove the circus atmosphere these thing bring without thinking of how Kavanaugh (and others) have been treated. I understand you not wanting him to be confirmed, can certainly see why the opposition party wants to delay them all, but the system is a joke. The 'guy's own mother' has said more than that, though, too, and explained her fragile mental state at the time she wrote her email. Btw--you thought the attack against Kavanaugh was a joke, and good for you for acknowledging it. Interestingly, it didn't seem to impact how you voted, which looking at it from the outside, seems a lot like apathy over the abhorrent behavior of democrats up to and including Harris. It's yet another reason I don't pay much attention to concerns about Hegseth. 1 1

Seems like the kind of sober-minded leader America needs. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14152809/Nancy-Mace-caught-gross-video-two-women-man.html Ahh, the New Conservative Libertines. Do as I say, not as I do.
