how sad is it that my first thought was "well, at least it's an actual woman"?

Before the discussion begins, is this a real she or a he she?

Joe Biden doesn't know his hand from a potato these days. Probably has no clue who this is. He is told what to do by his extremist advisors. They don't look at resumes, they care about melanin levels, genitalia, and your sexual preferences.
If anything should be a meritocracy in this country, it should be the military and those that lead it. Period.
ETA:
No clue if she’s actually qualified. I just automatically assume she isn’t because his track record is so poor.

Wait, arent you the guy who posts this shite all the time on the OT?

For once, sounds like they've nominated someone actually qualified

I’ll never understand the appeal behind wanting females in the military. It makes no logical sense.

I'll be the fourth to add my voice to the group of brethren wondering if she was born with two X chromosomes or was there a modification that occurred in the interim between birth and today's date. One can never be too certain about anything that comes out of a Biden appointment.

Yeah Firsts!!!!

Same here. Quite sad and justified.

Can't complain, it appears she has the experience for the job with her various positions within the Navy.

with this clown show, at least it’s not a dude wearing a skirt.
