No vetting? I guess thats your fault My Dear. Sliminess made public, my fault? Amateur hour fueled with artificial testosterone at every gop trump gaggle. When you have no discernible, marketable skills to actually Make America Great, you become a member of the trump administration or you get a gig on right wing media or you defecate on the floor of the US Capitol.

And they need to start with the convicted felon.

(40,015 posts)3. Enlistees in the Military are "vetted" with an aptitude test
To show the military what talents they have and which direction to point that recruit. Win Win in an effort to make their service better and in search of constant improvement.
Republicans could not care less about aptitude or improvement. Raw power only and call the non mandate a mandate.
