Man, just the thought of someone having the guts to climb that pole tells me a lot about his courage in taking on hard things. I WOULDN'T climb that pole if you paid me.

If someone has a job to do and the cajones to take it on he has to cajones to make wise decisions and administrate others that do the job. Trump didn't need to have an architectural degree or mechanical degree to build his buildings and they still got built. Imagine that...

Duffy was a US congressman for 8 years. That alone qualifies him over Mayor Pete. End of discussion.

Being more qualified than Mayor Pete doesn't make him qualified.

As already stated above by MonarchManiac, two wrongs don't make a right. What are Duffy's qualifications? I want the most qualified person in the position.

Mayor Pete only experience in transportation was having trains ridden on him by other queers

I'm sure Sean Duffy will at least spare us all the insult to our intelligence by riding in a vehicle until a half mile from the WH and then get a bike out and peddle the rest of the way in for the cameras.

Some of you don't like anything Trump does. Period.

The guy was a congressman for 5 terms and a federal prosecutor...of course the tards sent out a memo that he's a reality tv personality as the lead on his resume.

Freaking retards. They are forever mentally broken.

Spend 5 minutes reading his biography. The guy is highly intelligent. A 5 term congressman. A great public speaker. When you run a big department like that, those are things you need. Others can do the details.

Do a little research and tell me the qualifications of the last 5 Secretaries of Transportation.

What would you consider important qualifications for this job?

Here's a hint. Running a construction business is as far from being Sec of Transportation as you can get. Or being a pilot.

Organizations within the DOT include the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Federal Transit Administration, the Federal Railroad Administration and the Maritime Administration.

Even if you ran one of those, you would know zero about the other 5.

And having worked with civil servants for 15 years, I would say having previously worked there should disqualify you, b/c you would be steeped in doing things the same old way.

That's another point. Trump is appointing disruptors, not administrators. The biggest job for now is to get the waste, fraud and abuse out of the system in each department.

Trump appointed him. That's all they consider.

No clue. That is why I'm asking what are his qualifications. It seems we've had very little direction in that department for a long time, so maybe it is time to bring someone in with a plan.

What are your qualifications to judge his qualifications?

Go back and read my post again. I added quite a lot. I answered your question then.

To act like Mayor Pete was some bum off the streets is ridiculous as well.

Quote:Secretary Buttigieg previously served two terms as mayor of his hometown, South Bend, Indiana, where he worked across the aisle to transform the city’s future. Household income grew, poverty fell, and unemployment was cut in half. His work on transportation as mayor was nationally recognized, including an award for innovative streetscape design from the U.S. Department of Transportation where he now serves.

He also served for seven years as an officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve, taking a leave of absence from the mayor’s office for a deployment to Afghanistan in 2014.

The son of Joseph Buttigieg, who immigrated to the United States from Malta, and Jennifer Anne Montgomery, a fifth-generation Hoosier, Secretary Buttigieg is a graduate of Harvard University and Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar and completed a degree in philosophy, politics, and economics.

Mayor Pete is a freak.

After 4 years of a guy whose only qualification is being gay. Now we’re concerned with important qualifications?

No, I just want to know the qualifications and direction that each of these people have for their departments.

I think Musk and Vivek are great picks for the new agency. I defended Linda McMahon with someone earlier today, as I think the DoEd needs fresh ideas and direction. I just want to know more about Duffy.

Again, who says I wasn't?
