Who makes the decision on who gets to chair what?

7. Cheerleaders, DLC-type idiots, and other losers |

More of a plus than a minus for anyone not to be liked by members of that ilk.

You could have easily googled the answer. You also could have learned a thing or two about how your government works while you were searching the internet, but you chose to be lazy.

13. The post still could've had more substance behind it. |
