He's the only Senator ever without a Bachelor's Degree. He does have an Associates in Construction Technology, but a Bachelors would have meant he took some history classes.

He comes off as a not very smart guy based on his interviews and public speaking and the other day when he was talking to the press and mentioned the war in Iran and then a reporter asked him about the war and he defiantly told the reporter it was NOT a WAR and they told him he just said it was a war and then said "Will if I said that it was a Misspoke"

But aside from that opinion of mine, he's now the guy responsible for Homeland Security which was created after the 9/11 attacks to mainly protect us from terroristic threats.

and Trump, who said only a bad leader would get involved in a war, errr Military action, in Iran started a war/Military action in Iran and then had this interview response:

Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. "I guess," he says. "But I think they're worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."

So based on that, are you confident in this choice to be in charge of the DHS to help keep us saf?

At least you used paragraphs. Didn't make it more readable but I appreciate that.

So, you're basing his intelligence level off of press clippings? Are you one of those people that thinks a college degree actually makes someone more intelligent?

What long form interviews have you watched of his? Why would you base your opinion on someone based off what the press feeds you?

Death, taxes and Trump hiring under qualified people

Bachelors degree has nothing at all to do with intelligence.

Where were you when the only qualification was skin color, gender, sexual orientation, or willingness to lie and steal? I missed your posts.

If I didn't know better, I'd think you're attacking him because he's a Cherokee Indian. There's a name for people like you.

I'm sure CNN will let us know all his faults in the coming days.

Trump always picks the best people so I'm sure someone named "Markwayne" will run DHS like a boss.

He will support any Fed shooting someone they aren't supposed to be, so that should be good for border security!

Markwayne Mullin, Trump's new pick to lead DHS, praised the Capitol cop who shot and killed unarmed Air Force vet Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6th and portrayed him as the real victim.

"I actually gave him a hug, and I said, 'Sir, you did what you had to do,'" Mullin told C-SPAN in… pic.twitter.com/V0QDSnsD37

Should make for some interesting confirmation questions!

If only he was as smart as Kamala and AOC.

You think the history classes you have to take in college are accurate?

Lemme address this.

1. Biden never hired people based on identity politics.

2. Even if biden hired people based on identity politics, why do you have a problem with that?

3. Biden did hire people based on identity politics, but that's actually a good thing.

I have been following him for years now on socials.

he actually is EXTREMELY well educated about the Constitution and the congress. he makes videos on his socials walking around the Capitol explaining the votes and what is happening and why.

he also somehow found a way to create a multi-million dollar business without a bachelors degree.

and he did study at both Junior college and Okie State.

He's not a lib/dem, so he has that going for him. Lib/dems gotta cry!

No bachelors degree. Clearly not as intelligent as Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, Joe Biden, AOC, and Maizie Hirino.

Can always tell when a talking point blast the left sends out is turned in a F16 thread.

There will always be some 15-20 year old account with almost no posting history (any there is will be on Zoo, GB, or ET) that magically appears to push the leftist narrative after the thread has started.

And this thread once again proves that politics is a circle.

You know who else didn't have a bachelor's degree:

George Washington
Ben Franklin
Alexander Hamilton

And 27 signers of the declaration of independence

This already puts him ahead of 90% of congress/senate.

Mullin is perhaps most closely associated, though, with Mullin Plumbing, the once-struggling family business that he took over from his ailing father and transformed into a multimillion-dollar home services firm, employing hundreds of people. Mullin sold that business to a private equity firm in 2021 for an undisclosed sum (financial forms suggest it may have gone for tens of millions of dollars), but he still owns a minority stake.

Mayorkas even had a law degree from Loyola. How did that work out?
