Cabinet Posts?

Any ideas? And before you start throwing out recognizable names like Elizabeth Warren, et al., remember that adding them to the Cabinet takes them OUT of the Senate, and we don’t want that.

I think Susan Rice will have some role in the Cabinet. Maybe add Julian Castro to increase Joe’s outreach to the Latino community.

And I don’t know what form it should take, but Joe DEFINITELY needs to adequately reward Stacey Abrams for all she’s done. Maybe the Presidential Medal of Freedom?

I like Andrew Yank to push for UBI which is needed , Elizabeth Warren to rein in corporations, Julian Castro to focus on the Latino issues (this is so important), Beto in some fashion, Stacy Abrams deserves something.

Thank goodness for our Black Brothers and Sisters for probably saving our Democracy.

Yeah!!!!

How dare that prick!

Ok, MM. 2 sdnators from states whose govs will appoint DEM Senators.

Soon as appointments for replacements are done, fire the repuke scum from cabinet.

This is not being said in a joking way.

Hardball time!

Oh, mitch, pack your bags, you fucking traitor. You'll be spending life in prison for obstruction.

Has this been discussed and I missed it?

Edited to add: Does she know the price of a bushel of beans?

Why would she want it?

Rumor has it that Gillibrand may want something. Maybe the Cabinet, or NY Governor in 2 years. If she goes to the Cabinet, she’d be replaced with a Dem. But with Schumer getting on, I don’t know why she would leave the Senate. She certainly has Presidential aspirations.

Appoint you want. Submit no one to the Senate. And tell Turtle to blow it out his ass.

What goes around....
