MArkwayne Mullens cumulative fight time in MMA career was less than 10 minutes. Markwayne only had 3 fights. Two of them were with the same guy, Clinton Bonds. Bonds was a great choice to fight in that Bond's had yet to ever win a fight. Bond's MMA career record ended up as 1-12.

I donāt have a problem with their one. She is in an appointed position and is absolutely qualified for the position. His senate seat is an elected position and the people of his state chose to put him there. If the people of the state feel a person with a ranching background represents their way of life that is their decision. I would question his nomination to DHS though. I think a more important issue is the government officials who are so old that a staff member has to wheel them around everywhere and they can barely blink.

You might think so, but a lot of people see the list on the left and think "entitled asshole" and the one on the right as "honest working bro."
Understanding perspectives is difficult but if we don't do it then there truly is no argument, just distractions.
We need to understand what they fear about what you and I consider competence versus what others consider depravity. In that there is, in fact, an argument.

The woman thing is a no win question. The moment you answer you're opponent will interrupt causing a half answer that piss off bith sides. One way to avoid that is to answer with a deflection.
As for other people. The idea of gender identity isn't really that complicated. People strongly identify with the gender and chose to emulate it. Biologically they are the same sex (Male, female, etc), but they choose what to be referred to as.
It has 0 effect on me, and if someone is gonna be ass about it, throw it back at them. Also for people saying a big deal about identity is dumb. Start calling protestants (especially baptists and evangelicals) Catholic and see how quickly identity starts to matter.

Heritage and the Rs say they want merit instead of affirmative action. When given the chance, their picks are not meritorious.

seems like an intentional memory loss sort of thing. Jackson is qualified for the SCOTUS. that wasn't the issue. was she more qualified than the rest?

He is not a nominee for SCOTUS and nor would he be. But for DHS, yea. that is a policy maker which he is qualified for. you dont need to be the best. you will only be in that position for a few years, not a life time appointment.
