Interesting story, looks like 'only the best people' didn't stop with the new administration.

She was obviously picked for the diversity reasons because she's a horrible press secretary doesn't equate to assuming a black person can't be qualified on their own. You are using her race to shield her from criticism of being a horrible press secretary.

You guys always state that any minority that is in any Democrat administration is only their because of race. They're never qualified. Every one of them is horrible.

When the only way to be a non-diversity minority hire in your view is to be a Republican conservative to who talks down to and disparages his own racial group, it's pretty clear what exactly it is that you're trying to say.

Yet another strawman. I'm sure you can find my many posts where I've done that right? Go ahead and post them.

We do know that the left likes to label any prominent black conservatives as Uncle Toms.

Except that you do it reflectively every time and minority in a Democratic administration is talked about.

There are to many to post, so NO.

We do know that the left likes to label any prominent black conservatives as Uncle Toms.

I sure you can find where I've done that on here. I don't think much of black conservatives, but they can be that if they want. I do think it's highly hypocritical for somebody like Clarence Thomas to trash affirmative action and claim his Yale law degree was worthless because of it, when it's only because he has that law degree that he's on the SC (well, that and the fact that he his willing to be bought by any billionaire willing to give him gifts). I don't generally think much of people that trash the very thing that gave them an opportunity, while cooperating with the very racist saying his degree was worthless because of that opportunity. But that's just me.

You opened the door with this:

I merely pointed out that I didn't find an "over-educated incompetent person", but I did find an under-educated one.

Plus, I gained a little joy in showing a great example of how these two women were treated differently by people such as yourself.

and treated differently by you, correct?

Well, when the POTUS says he is only going to pick a black woman (do we even know what that is today?) is that also racist? It has to be by this logic.

Nope, just pointing out how your standards of competence varies depending on who you are judging.

 

[cuddlemonkey]

She's an absolute disaster as a press secretary. Most people can see that. Partisans can't see it.

That opinion doesn't change the fact that the initial statement was racist. Do you agree that it's racist when a person is qualified for a job (whether they do the job well or not after the fact) and someone ignores those qualifications in order to dismiss them as being hired only because they are African American?

Nope. If you had any valid criticism that would be fine. Your criticism is centered on her race, among other things, which is a totally invalid criticism. I haven’t seen a single valid criticism of her. All I see are MAGAs pointing to her race, gender and sexual orientation as proof she wasn’t qualified. Which includes you, Farb and Sack.

See, THIS is a strawman. Show us the posts where anyone on here has said that.

I thought we were talking about the press secretary. Correct? Quit changing the subject.

Another good economic report today:

“June's producer price index report rose less than anticipated, building upon optimism from Wednesday's consumer price index data. The PPI, which measures what wholesalers pay for goods, rose 0.1% in June. Economists polled by Dow Jones had expected an increase of 0.2%. Core PPI, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, climbed 0.1% — also lower than expectations.

"The PPI confirmed the cooling inflation shown in yesterday's CPI, but the lower-than-expected weekly jobless claims number was a reminder of continued labor market tightness," said Mike Loewengart, head of model portfolio construction at Morgan Stanley Global Investment Office.

"For now, the stage appears to be set: The Fed is still on track to raise interest rates in a couple of weeks, and investors will shift their focus to corporate balance sheets as earnings season kicks into gear," Loewengart continued.

Stocks surged Wednesday after a cooler-than-expected June consumer price index report eased some worries that the Federal Reserve may tip the economy into a recession as it fights to bring down sticky inflation.”

This is a long thread, but every tweet in it is short and easy to read. Well worth the time, IMO:

I have so many questions now but they don't come from the radical-right's conspiracy driven motivation. My main concern is that there seems to be a complacency issue regarding security in the White House...at EVERY LEVEL.

The Secret Service has concluded its investigation into the small bag of cocaine found at the White House and has been unable to identify a suspect, according to a statement from the US Secret Service.

Secret Service officials combed through “security systems” and indexed “several hundreds individuals” who entered the West Wing in the days preceding the discovery and were unable to identify a suspect, according to the USSS statement. The Secret Service said FBI lab results from the packaging found “insufficient DNA” and could not retrieve any fingerprints.

“Therefore, the Secret Service is not able to compare evidence against the known pool of individuals,” a statement from the USSS said.

Investigators were also unable to identify the particular moment or day when the baggie was left inside the West Wing cubby near the lower level entrance where it was discovered.

The Secret Service has concluded its investigation into the small bag of cocaine found at the White House and has been unable to identify a suspect, according to a statement from the US Secret Service.

www.cnn.com

If it was found after routine checks, why are they unable to identify which day it was left?

The Secret Service briefed the House Oversight and Accountability Committee on the case Thursday morning. Leaving that briefing, GOP Rep. Tim Burchett told CNN the case was “the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”

He said that the bag contained less than a gram of cocaine.

“Y’all have all been to the White House. You give your Social Security number, you get, I mean, I’m sure they have facial identification and everything else, and to say that they don’t know who it is, to me, somebody should lose their job over this, a lot of people,” he said.

He added, “Somebody walks in the White House, the most secure building in the United States of America – in the world, actually – and can place something in a locker.

Apparently not.

What if it was a biological entity? What if it was something that had an emergent that would, you know, would mature over a few days and it could – you know, it’s just a lot of questions.”

GOP Rep. Tim Burchett's concerns are valid and he's right that someone needs to lose their job over this.

GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told reporters that the Secret Service informed members in their briefing that it had narrowed its list of suspects down to 500 people. Greene, who said part of the briefing was classified, said she asked Secret Service if they would drug test those individuals and she said their answer was no.

The list includes a mixture of staffers and others on a tour, according to GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert, but the Secret Service would not provide specifics.

Boebert said the cocaine was found in locker number 50 and the key to that locker is missing. A number of members raised issues with the locker system and how it needs to be more secure.

Is this a true statement? If it is, that opens up a new line of questions. Why is it routine for security to access secured lockers? Why call it a "cubby" and not a locker? If there are keys, shouldn't someone have to sign for the locker?

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace said the Secret Service had to get visitor logs and other information from the Biden administration through the Presidential Records Act because the locker where the cocaine was found is under the jurisdiction of the Biden administration.

Sure...OK!

Lame. I had some respect for her years ago but she has surrendered her integrity to the extremist.

MTG seems to think you can just start drug testing people for any old reason. She needs to consult the Constitution, not to mention the idiocy of drug testing people now, a week or more after the fact.

I’m guessing the system might be set up like some radiology centers (I think gyms have the same system.) - there are little wooden cubes with doors and locks. The keys are on little flexible bracelet things. You put your stuff in and lock it and take the key with you. You can wear it on your wrist. I think some people call them cubbies because they’re wooden and cube-shaped. They don’t look like what you think of when you say lockers.

So, my questions would be this: what else was in the cubby? If there wasn’t anything else in there, and the key never got returned, then I’m seriously thinking that this was a set-up now. The amount of cocaine was small enough to be a misdemeanor if they got caught, for a first timer. Somebody like Project Veritas for example, might consider that an acceptable risk. My next question would be - what prompted the Secret Service to check that cubby? Were they tipped off?

If they would check every cubby that remained locked at night when tours are over, they would know when it was left. What made them check that cubby that afternoon?

Secret Service needs a complete overhaul.

Nope, just pointing out how your standards of competence varies depending on who you are judging.

I don't know about over educated incompetent people in that position, but I do know of an under-educated incompetent one that went on to become a Governor. I'm sure being a nepo-baby of a prominent white-Christian didn't hurt her employment opportunities.

Yeah. I can see the objectivity oozing through.

All signs point to the drug addict living in the Whitehouse.

True, but when all the alphabet agencies are corrupt and cover for the preferred political party, do you expect them to use logic?

Speaking of those liars, here's an interesting list of who many are affiliated with which makes me automatically question the credibility of these organizations. The Atlantic Council is one of the worst organizations.
