Harris was far more qualified than Dan Quayle, who was only chosen because the evangelicals didn't entirely trust Poppy Bush as being one of their own.

What a ridiculous attempt at comparison.

Harris is a complete joke. A giggly fool with no qualifications for public office.

And because you're befuddled, Dan Quayle wasn't running for office in this cycle.

When you turn away more qualified candidates in favor of diversity, you end up
with a smaller, less qualified staff.

It's all Marxist mayhem BY DESIGN.

My first wife, many years ago, was going to college to get into the nursing program. She had a 4.0 average as well as some others. She had to wait over a year to get into the program because they were denying white people and accepting blacks with C averages.

So all you have is hearsay. Not sure why you think that is viable. Could it be the relative was just telling you what you wanted to hear because they didn't want to get grief about why he didn't get the job?

It seems if he never got the interview, they just weren't that impressed with his credentials.

Hey, I just did a job search. During my job search, I applied to two companies that made the same thing the company I just left made.

Didn't get an interview at either one of them. Not sure why. Maybe they thought I'd want too much money.

Another company, went through three phone interviews before they brought me in to interview in person. After talking to that person, it was clear I wasn't what they needed, but damn, you think they should have figured it out long before it got to that stage.

I find it's a real crapshoot in job hunting. A single misspelled word in a resume can get an applicant thrown out. I single weird expression in an interview.

All hearsay that is impossible to verify.

We should be clear about the subtext of the Right's DEI rhetoric. In essence it posits only white people are competent. That if you are, for example, a gay, black woman you don't deserve the job you hold. Because there's a more qualified straight, white guy you took the job from.

Liar.

That if you are, for example, a gay, black woman you don't deserve the job you hold.

Only if they passed over a more qualified applicant to give it to you.

It's amazing how hard the demented LEFT try to deny reality.
The DEI hiring standards were put in place by OBAMA the Marxist POS.

MAGA kept calling Harris a "DEI candidate," showing that the phrase is just a racial slur with no relationship to someone's actual skill or intelligence.

Well she was never a credible candidate for president the first time. I believe she got something like three percent of the vote in the democratic primary. Biden didn’t pick her to bring California’s votes into the campaign, so why did he pick her? The second time she didn’t even run in the pseudo-primary, she was handed the candidacy so the party didn’t lose the billion or so dollars that Biden raised. Neither had anything to do with competency.

do you research. She was never on a ballot because she withdrew before Iowa. But the 2020 field had something like 20 candidates.

Biden didn’t pick her to bring California’s votes into the campaign, so why did he pick her?

He picked her to shore up his base, just like every other Veep has been picked. Pence was picked to shore up Trump with Evanelicals (before they sold their souls to the devil). Biden was picked because Obama was seen as a lightweight in foreign affairs. Same with Cheney. Gore was picked because he was a Washington insider. Quayle was picked because Bush wasn't trusted by the conservative base. Bush was picked because he was a Washington insider. Every veep pick had a reason, and it was almost never "the most popular guy we could find."

The second time she didn’t even run in the pseudo-primary, she was handed the candidacy so the party didn’t lose the billion or so dollars that Biden raised. Neither had anything to do with competency.

Again, historical precedent, the Veep is almost always the first pick. Harris, Biden, Gore, Bush, Mondale, Humphrey, Nixon. Yes, the fact that her name was attached to what Biden had raised so far was an issue, but it would have looked damned odd to pass her up under those circumstances.

Of course, they never had an incumbent drop out this late in the game before.

Nope. We called Harris a DEI candidate because the rich old white guy the democrats chose to install for you said he would choose a black female for his running mate. Then they chose the DEI candidate for you to run for president.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

100's, 1000's of complaints of understaffed control towers was reported to Biden but with dementia he could not react, think.

This is what happens when democrats vote their ideology and not for mental competency.

Of course we never ever had an incumbent, sitting president that the deep state hid his advanced dementia.

If he had picked a white woman for vice president you wouldn't have called her DEI. Hillary Clinton wasn't called a DEI candidate. Amy Coney-Barrett was selected to the Supreme Court because she was a white female, nobody called her DEI. But Kitanje Jackson was called DEI or Affirmative Action. So it is exactly like I said. After facing your bullshit for generations, we know how you racists do things. You don't seem to get this. If DEI means unqualified people get hired over more qualified, white men are the ultimate DEI hires.

It is both funny and sad just how much some whites choose to deny.

This information needs to be spread far and wide. DEI really does equal DIE. Supporters of DEI don't care about human lives. They are perfectly OK with people dying in order to enact their ridiculous ideology.

Liberals keep insisting that Obama never lowered the standards for air-traffic controllers.

But the proof keeps coming out more and more and more.

I don’t expect the liberals to admit that they were wrong.

But I do like to keep documenting this, and showing it to as many people as possible.

The Telegraph just reported:

https://archive.ph/5iuqQ

An aspiring air traffic controller who claimed he was denied a job because of diversity targets said the aviation agency’s obsession with inclusion made an accident likely to happen.

Andrew Brigida, 35, scored 100 per cent in his training exam but alleged that he was denied a position in an air traffic control tower because the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recruitment process favoured diverse candidates. He is part of a class action lawsuit filed against the federal agency.

Speaking after the Washington air disaster, in which 67 people were killed, Mr Brigida claimed that years of diversity hiring meant it was only a matter of time before an accident happened.

“You want to hire the best and the brightest for this kind of job because it is a very stressful job and it can take a toll on you, age you prematurely,” he told The Telegraph. “You want to make sure that the people that are doing it are the best.”

Mr Brigida graduated from Arizona State University’s collegiate training initiative in 2013 – a partnership programme with the FAA that was previously used to train and select the most qualified applicants.

After scoring top marks in his air traffic control selection and training examination, he was placed on a preferred candidate list until the FAA changed the rules.

Under the Obama administration, the regulator replaced a skills-based test with a biographical questionnaire to attract more diverse applicants.

When Mr Brigida tried again to become an air traffic controller under the new tests, he said he failed the biographical questionnaire because he “didn’t fit the preferred ethnic profile”.

He needs to sue.

For what? How many non whites have been turned down for these jobs who scored 100's? You don't know, but you will overplay this one white man. Any industry that is 90-something percent white like the Airline industry is practicing discrimination against non whites.

They broke the law and need to be sued. Period.
