I'm on Biden's side on this one.
"They were chosen because they were the best officers for the jobs, and I didn't want their promotions derailed because someone in the Trump White House saw that I recommended them or thought [the Defense Department] was playing politics," Esper told the Times. "This was not the case. They were the best qualified. We were doing the right thing."
How do you read desperation into those comments? You must not be taking them at face value, because the language he employs is confident and self-assured. Your interpretation implies a bias of your own.That's also another story in itself. The military held those two particular promotions until Trump was out of office on the basis he would reject them. I guess you have to consider whether they were promoted because they were women, and Trump would see through the qualifications; or if someone simply believed Trump would reject the best qualified person ... because they are females. Esper's statement below reeks of desperation and self justification of an iffy decision.

Again, you are reading something into his comments which isn't there, when taken at face value... and you don't know that he is wrong.Sounds like words right out of Pruitt's mouth justifying Guarantano as QB. Esper's mind was made up and he didn't want anybody interfering with facts or alternative points. Besides he has a quota to fill.
In the poll he cited, Joe Biden is indeed at 60%. You would be referring to the right-leaning Rasmussen poll. Biden's Real Clear Politics Average Approval Rating is currently at 54.4%. Donald Trump's average rating on RCP never even reached 50%.Lol must have asked family members and journalists Joe is currently at 49% and -8...maybe if he didn't lie so much
I think a lot of the favorability for Biden is folks who don’t blame him or credit him because he’s so obviously lame in the brain, and for the same reason out of sympathy or compassion they give him a pass.In the poll he cited, Joe Biden is indeed at 60%.

I think he benefits from following Trump. He is getting credit for merely comporting himself in a professional manner... which used to be taken for granted from the President of the United States.I think a lot of the favorability for Biden is folks who don’t blame him or credit him because he’s so obviously lame in the brain, and for the same reason out of sympathy or compassion they give him a pass.
Seems like it might be a way to silence girls that are complaining about being forced to compete against boys?this is what you agree with?
"According to the Biden Justice Department, while some off-campus speech deserves constitutional protection, the 3rd Circuit went too far, unfairly hamstringing school officials, who, the government maintained, require significant leeway when it comes to regulating and punishing student speech. "When the student's off-campus speech targets an extracurricular athletic program in which the student participates," the brief argued, "such speech might properly be regarded as school speech that is potentially subject to discipline by school officials if, for instance, it intentionally targets a feature that is essential to or inherent in the athletic program itself.""
One of my best friends is a life long democrat...... he is so embarrassed by Biden...... I’m having so much fun with this..... as long as Biden doesn’t cost me too much money or freedom.... it’s going to be a fun four years.I think he benefits from following Trump.
