President Donald Trump said Thursday that he is naming Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, a former county prosecutor and elected judge, to be the top federal prosecutor for the nation’s capital after abandoning his first pick for the job.

Oh it’s a complete joke. She’s not remotely qualified for the position, but Trump watches her on TV. Also her previous “judge” position was elected. She didn’t go through any kind of hearing or confirmation, just said political things that the voters liked.
She does have a law degree, but Wikipedia suggests it’s been 20 years since she’s used it in any kind of professional capacity. This whole merit based system seems to have the substance of wet toilet paper.
Every argument the Reich wing makes is just meant to be a cudgel. They don’t ever mean to follow what they say for themselves, they just use it as an attack on others.
A law degree and being elected DA for a random county in NY doesn’t make you qualified any more than managing a corner store qualifies you to be the CEO of Walmart. It’s not just the passage of time that makes her unqualified.
And yeah, they have a whole (racist lie) mantra about how hiring anyone who’s not white is denying society the benefit of a more qualified white man, but literally all their hires are not just temperamentally unsuited to the job, but unqualified and incompetent. You can’t select for absolute loyalty to a senile imbecile and also for merit. They can still be plenty evil, especially when no aspect of civil society seems to be willing to stop them, but if they were competent it would be so much worse.
