Ya know what's great watching Biden assemble his cabinet and inner circle thus far . . . . ?

Every one of his picks are not anyone we would have guessed although when named cause us to say Of Course!!! Every pick has been a brilliant person.

We're familiar with a Team of Rivals.

Biden is assembling a team of Competents.

I can't wait to see who else with be there. Watching this imparts hope again.

he was having all his cabinet hopefuls meet with him and a zillion cameras in a well lit restaurant and the media ate it up. It was disgusting. The past 4 years taste like throw up in my mouth...

For every one, I was like "holy shit, he could not have chosen a worse or more unqualified person", and "no government knowledge or experience" and "that asshole is a criminal".

Joe and Kamala's choices are a liniment to my soul.......

... at this point in time it's vital that everyone who leads each department knows what the job means and how it should be run...
... assuming that 45's people will leave each of the departments in chaos; Joe's people only struggle to climb over the clutter; not struggle to figure out their jobs.

I couldn't be more pleased with the currently announced choices ... more calm breathing may be possible soon. It's going to be tough, for sure; but things will be in competent hands.
