I just thought you fellers would appreciate a heads-up for what is coming. I dare not paraphrase the article,, but this phrase appears in it, describing their 'comportment'. ........"Alpha Male and Deference". I LOVE that. Like the actor in Vietnam movie...." I love the smell of napalm in the morning..." 😆 😆

Deference and alpha male are mutually exclusive Dummy
Deference means boot licking- brown nosing pillow munchers who cry themselves to sleep at night because daddy never loved them.

Trump said he was looking for a woman to be his VP. Haley was the first person that came to my mind. I hope not though. She is a war hawk that is heavy on the rhetoric. She is an accomplished liar who cannot be trusted.

For ‘war hawk’ read not in Putin’s back pocket and not ultra right wing enough to agree with Putin’s attitude to women and lgbtq folks

I will never get this ' appoint woman, appoint black', I have not seen the phrase 'on their merits' in some time. Look where the color reqjuirements got us with Kamala. I think it logical that a person who is appointing a 'sidekick', a confidant, would want a person with the same characteristics, for lack of a better word, of his own. I cant imagine leaning over and whispering in Kamala's ear, or chatting about my day on the golf course with Nikki Haley. He needs a natural relationship in a person backing him up.

Racists assume that because someone is a black woman, they are not hired 'on their merits'. We got the same baloney when Ketanji Brown Jackson was selected.

Just shut up. We get your thinking. We don't need to keep hearing that ugliness.

I didn't think about her. Good point. She is a natural pick that AG would probably be happy with. Yes, I would. I hope that is who Trump has in mind.

It's fraud, apparently. An overvalued asset ponzi scheme to rake billions in cash. There are hundreds of examples, but in one case he owns a piece of property 'appraised' for $1.5 billion so he can borrow more money, even though its real value is only $25 million.

Old news of course but the alpha male generals (Kelly and McMaster) who actually served in his administration BOTH left with very unflattering things to say about Trumps handling of military affairs. He replaced them with weak grovelers like John Bolton and THEN he left wringing warning bells about trump's stability as commander in chief.

The alpha males who actually worked in his administration don't think trump was fit to be president.

You think Trump and Pence or JFK and LBJ were best buddies? No actually the VP is chosen to appeal to some part of the voting public that the President doesn’t appeal to.

When Biden spoke of his choice for a new justice, he said she will be a woman of color. If he said 'merits' in the proper sense of its importance, I missed it. If he said it, it was third in line of importance, just after skin color and gender. Would I lie?
