The trump team blindsided by hegseth's sliminess??? BOSSHOG Nov 22 #1

This certainly makes the case for extreme vetting for any appointee of federal government departments Rhiannon12866 Nov 22 #2

Enlistees in the Military are "vetted" with an aptitude test BOSSHOG Nov 22 #3

That would be an ideal way to evaluate federal government employees, as well as the usually required background check Rhiannon12866 Nov 22 #4

No vetting? I guess that’s your fault My Dear. Sliminess made public, my fault? Amateur hour fueled with artificial testosterone at every gop trump gaggle. When you have no discernible, marketable skills to actually Make America Great, you become a member of the trump administration or you get a gig on right wing media or you defecate on the floor of the US Capitol.

To show the military what talents they have and which direction to point that recruit. Win Win in an effort to make their service better and in search of constant improvement.

Republicans could not care less about aptitude or improvement. Raw power only and call the non mandate a mandate.
