I don't see it as a cherry pick........What's the problem with President Trump hiring women for these powerful positions?

Where did I say I have a problem with Trump hiring women? Don't we judge an administration by the time period of its existence rather than by the "beginning of the third year?" Obviously you don't know what cherry-picking is, and based on the source you chose, you don't know what a reliable source is either.

I find this to be a really disgusting comment.

It appears Bob Woodward's book Fear: Trump in the White House is available on the Internet Archive to read:

Do you have any statistics to back this up, sounds kind of made up to me.
 

Mr. Money, you didn't back any of your original assertations with Stats. You suffer from projection.  You transfer your feelings of inadequacy on to others. In other words, you accuse others of faults you yourself display.  Case in point- You didn't provide Stats for any of your anti-Trump assertations.  Now you  accuse me of not providing a stat for one of my counter arguments.    I recommend you watch Jordan Peterson videos.  Doctor Peterson will explain how you can overcome your "Projection Issues" and take responsibility for your life.  

I'll give you one stat.  You look up the others. I'm not your personal librarian.  This stat is going to be tricky. It will require you to perform math functions.  Ready?   71% of all adult Americans Don't have a Degree.  31% of all Trump voters have a degree!

To help your research,  Check out what percentage of degreed social workers, English Majors, women's studies, American Indian/Native/Indigenous studies, Dance majors, music,  Film , Fashion Design and Drama majors voted for Trump.  These are """Liberal Arts Majors""".     

Bottom line-  If I'm wrong, than a higher percentage of Degreed dancers, actors, musicians, fashion designers and feminists voted for Trump than degreed biologists, engineers, nurses, doctors, and physicists. 

So you won't be triggered, I'll provide you with a safe-space, liberal newspaper account, explaining the 71%-31% stat.  Simple logic will be required. 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2017/06/05/its-time-to-bust-the-myth-most-trump-voters

PS. This is the last time I hold your hand Easy Money.  It's time for you to leave the nest and research your own arguments and stats.Wink

Here are the stats without all the imaginative spinning. No one has ever tabulated stats by type of degrees, that never happened.
But here are the real stats, you can see its quite obvious trump is popular with the under-educated

Pew Research Center:
"Overall, whites with a four-year college degree or more education made up 30% of all validated voters. Among these voters, far more (55%) said they voted for Clinton than for Trump (38%). Among the much larger group of white voters who had not completed college (44% of all voters), Trump won by more than two-to-one (64% to 28%)."

But you don't have to be defensive, that isn't necessarily bad is it?

What is Aardvark really saying?   I'll translate-

  " You Catcher10, can't judge an administration...EVER!  Because you disagree with me.  I'm the only one worthy to judge! And, this thread is strewn with my judgements...Judgements at the beginning of the 1st year of Trump's presidency and the beginning of the 2nd year of Trump's Presidency.  Heck, I judged Trump's Presidency a few days ago!LOL"

Hey Catcher! Noticed how I cherrypicked Aardvark's post. Actually, I plucked low-hanging fruit. It's all low-hanging...

This is pretty good evidence that you don't even know what cherry-picking is, even though you do it all the time. And if that's how you translate a simple question from me, it's obvious that you are trapped in your own little bubble. If you can't make the logical leap to understand what the difference is between three years of data and "beginning of the third year," I don't know how else I can make it simpler for you. Would you prefer that I type everything in bold?

I'm actually curious about your thoughts on climate change now, though I think I might come to regret saying that.

    Defensive?   You're projecting your issues on me again.   In the process, you change my original counter claim to fit your stat. 

  I said, "more Bachelor of Science folks voted for Trump than Liberal Arts majors". You created a (logic fallacy) straw man argument, insulating that I said more degreed folk voted for Trump. I never said that.  

Meanwhile, a prediction I made days ago is already coming true.  Clap  Barr is appointing a prosecutor to investigate the origins of Trump Russia Investigation. Investigate the InvestiGATOR's. Clap I predict the prosecutor will find that Obama's FBI and DOJ appointees crossed the line, and spied on the Trump Campaign.  Indictments will follow.  Scientific Method states that hypothesis (predictions), that become facts are based in reality.   What do predict Easy Money?  Will Obama FBI officials and DOJ be indicted?  Will Trump be reelected in 2020?

I provided the stats that backed up the statement that trump has more appeal to the under educated, that's all. Its just one more of the many things trump has in common with George W.

There is no condemnation in presenting this fact, if you feel defensive about it, that is your choice.

Some actual stats.....

While polling before Election Day showed that voters with less education were flocking to Trump â&amp;#128;&amp;#148; which shows in the exit polls â&amp;#128;&amp;#148; he still saw a good amount of support from voters with higher education.

What is there to think.   One day one of these totalitarian state senators (it passed 25 to 6...ouch!) will have a loved one impregnated by rape and be forced to either have the child or go out of state.

Shame.

Now that the Supreme Court leans more right, I think we're going to be seeing more of this down the road. Abortion probably won't be the only thing they challenge.

Just awful.  A Missouri state rep, Tila Hubrecht, apparently said that "rape pregnancies are a silver lining from God."  Insane.  https://www.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2016/05/06/rape-pregnancies-are-a-silver-lining-from-god-says-missouri-lawmaker

Why are you guys mansplaining, discussing women's bodies?  Men should check their privilege and let the women hash out the abortion debate.   You need to backtrack your male privliege like my husband and Beto.
