What do I win?

Hm. OK, let's see what the Biden had to say.Republican National Committee spokesperson Liz Harrington on Sunday denounced the idea that “all people are created equal.”
During an appearance on Fox News, Harrington blasted an op-ed in which presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden declared “all people are created equal and should be treated equally throughout their lives.”
Harrington claimed that the idea is an assault on the Declaration of Independence, which says that all “men” are created equal.
“It’s amazing for Joe Biden to talk about eroding our foundation when his party is taking a sledgehammer to it,” Harrington complained. “They are saying you can’t go to Mt. Rushmore, you can’t celebrate Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln.”
“His party is trying to rewrite history and tear it all down,” she continued. “And it’s very fitting that Joe Biden, in this op-ed, has the audacity to literally rewrite the greatest foundational document in this history of mankind, the Declaration of Independence.”
“His woke staffers changed it to — not ‘all men are created equal’ — all people are created equal,” the RNC spokesperson said, “and all people are guaranteed equality throughout life.”

So he could hire a random off the street and you'd be OK with it as long as the random wasn't related? Is your issue just the nepotism?uziq wrote:

I'm failing to understand your point. You don't like that his daughter and son-in-law have power. Ok, fine. Are they completely unqualified? Probably not. Would Biden necessarily choose more qualified people? In an ideal world, sure, but most positions are filled by cronies in any presidency. His just happen to be related to him.uziq wrote:
the guy is prioritizing the enriching of his own family over the good of the nation. jared kushner and ivanka trump are not qualified for shit. they've barely managed to make successes of themselves using massive established wealth and connections. 'recruiting some guy off the street'? lol. how about filling senior executive positions with people who are going to do a good job of managing and running the country? now you have some real-estate failure running the response to a once-in-a-century pandemic. trump clearly is looking out for his kin like a mafia boss, not being presidential.
but sure, biden is just as bad! etc etc. this shit from trump-tards gets really tiring. the list of compromised behaviour from trump is very long and numerous.
What on earth would libertarianism have to do with this? I really don't see a difference between appointing his son-in-law and some flunky that worked on his campaign. Ability generally comes second to being able to trust the people you hire and to get along with them. He trusts his son-in-law. So what?uziq wrote:
this is why you are full of shit. you’re willing to make excuses for a president appointing the positions in his inner circle to his own family, and at the same time claim you are a libertarian. where else in the world do you see populist leaders appointing their children to senior roles? brazil? the philippines? indonesia maybe? it is clan politics. it is literally fucking MONARCHICAL.
and the libertarian’s response? ‘oh well, biden would probably appoint some crony anyway’. appointing an apparatchik from within politics is very very different to giving the state’s responsibilities to your SON IN LAW.
I don't think Biden would hire "randoms off the street." What kind of response is that.Jay wrote:

I agree, it's minor. But like everything, it's treated like a BIG FUCKING DEAL. If everything is a BIG FUCKING DEAL then nothing is.unnamednewbie13 wrote:

The issues with the Trump presidency stretch far beyond merely creating/staffing positions for/with friends and family.
