1. Not all appointees, esp by Democrats, are automatically loyalists or purists or appointed for political reasons. . . nt

[WarGamer]

2. Of course... but this is still super weird.

10. Agreed. Democrats tend to appoint people qualified for a task.

In my job experience, people, especially driven people, can be the best and most innovative problem solvers in their fields, but totally self-absorbed, opinionated, abusive assholes in their private lives.
There are lots of people that I have worked with that I will totally respect and depend on in terms of their work, but I will go out of my way to avoid them personally.
Toxic people.

3. Less weird when you look at his CV.

It starts out as typical business idiot management stuff, which matches with that appointment, but his latest stuff was something in the DRC and a security firm.

9. Prince goon?

That was my instant gut feeling. Jmo.

4. No doubt the FBI are gonna let us continue to speculate about this guy. I don't think we'll ever get the truth.

He hasn’t even been caught yet, right

7. I posted a short bio just above

Very perplexing

[jcmaine72]

5. If this guy Boelter is confirmed as the shooter, the key takeaway here should be...

that this was another atrocity committed by a hate-filled White male with a gun...the single greatest internal threat to our national security. I doubt that they will, but that's how the media should frame this story if they (for once) wished to be honest with the American people.

8. Yes, let's

make it a racially charged issue on top of it all to increase the division and stir even more anger. Great idea.
Before we say something, maybe we should ask ourselves what it would sound like it we substitute the race with another. If it sounds even mildly KKK-ish, maybe we shouldn't say it.

[jcmaine72]

11. Telling the truth is divisive?

Dylan Roof, Payton Gendron and Stephen Paddock (If he were still alive), among countless others, will be thrilled to hear that.

[ForgedCrank]

12. I'm not

going to play tit-for-tat with you. This isn't a racial issue, so stop trying to make it one. We have enough unfounded hatred being spread around these days and we shouldn't be adding to it.

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Guess Democrats should stop even trying to 'reach across the aisle'. Only appoint tried and true

Democrats to everything.

[flamingdem]

14. You should edit your headline since it's misleading

Maga is trying to create a narrative that he's a dem.

[WarGamer]

15. which part is incorrect?

I'll self del in case it makes anyone uncomfortable
