    Not saying u favor a merit based system, but being qualified is irrelevant in a merit based sys as I am sure you know. min /= max. they both do seem overly qualified for gay porn - that should unify us. No one is sooo partisan that they can't see that.

    Well there’s no information in the article to make that assessment. Says he’s been an aide on capital hill for 5 years.

    do you have a copy of the ad for the job ? Do you know the application process? Do you know who applied? Do you know who was involved in the hiring decisions' how made up the hiring committee? I suspect this like Napier just picking who he wants. It may be the right way to go, but only an asshole would claim it is merit based.

    I don't. I think these jobs do not post an ad. I think they are just hand picked. Like B. Napier is allowed to do. Like nearly all important political jobs are filled. They are not merit based as far as I can tell. Maybe you know something I don't

    in my experience I hear merit, merit, merit. & then, qualified, qualified, qualified. AS IF THEY ARE THE SAME. You commies might think they are the same. THEY ARE NOT!

    do you have a copy of the ad for the job ? Do you know the application process? Do you know who applied? Do you know who was involved in the hiring decisions' & who made up the hiring committee?

    Thought they were getting rid of DEI hires?

    It's insane that peeps such as @OklahomaGator think all that is needed for a merit based sys is the elimination of a DEI system. However, I suspect, he's updated his thinking.

    Is that the kid that Tucker begged Hunter Biden to help get into Georgetown?

    Black kid grows up in a poor house and gets a job it’s DEI.

    White kid grows up in rich house and gets a job it’s merit.

    ‘What am I missing besides disingenuous racism?

    As I recall, it was Tucker Carlson who urged Trump to choose Vance as his running mate. So I suspect this is a Vance "thank you" to Tucker (and a Vance "[blank] you" to those who don't like it).

    Yeah, clearly not as important as something like Target assistant manager where 'merit' based hiring is essential

    The white press secretary for the VP is not an important job and can be given not on merit but based on who they are.. but a black student attending Harvard to study English is so important we cant consider who they are? How do you go through life flip flopping on every single topic depending on who benefits?

    Common sense: it is a form of nepotism. He gets a valuable experience that can be leveraged to a future.
