BLINKEN,WINKEN AND NOD……
No Matzav, no, spewing vitriol like a wacky alt-right site does not make you Torah-true, I’m sorry…
What qualifications does Blinken have for that position? He looks like just another Rex Tillerson.
As an aside, why are Biden’s first 3 picks, WHITE men?! What happened to the gender & racial diversity he promised us?!
You don’t need any qualification for a president elect that will never be.
Biden as president-elect, coronavirus, testing for this bogus virus and masks are the biggest hoax of the century. Only fools believe any of these.
Is he able to appoint barrack Hussein O to any important positions?
Alt right sites never have information that is true. It is all fake news.
Blinken’s qualifications are that he served as U.S. Deputy Secretary of State from 2015 to 2017.
Biden hasn’t announced any of his picks officially yet. He is supposed to pick Linda Thomas-Greenfield as ambassador to the UN.
Matzav: Try to be more subtle about your bias- at least keep it out of the title
No. If you don’t like it, leave.
And he’s Jewish too! Not good to have too many Jews in positions of power, especially in these volatile times. [Kissinger was Jewish and was not great for the Jews either.]
