I would love it because it would cause Trump to grind his jaws.
ANYTHING that pissses of Trump is good in my opinion.
@no1marauder saidthat would indeed be interesting.
Could be. https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-new-york-andrew-cuomo-merrick-garland-courts-68da043e83fe9e7932a3544373d50d10
That would make things interesting, wouldn't it?
Not long ago, Cuomo passed a law that would allow New York to ignore Trump's pardons and prosecute those offenders. This could potentially mean that if Trump pardons himself, it wouldn't fly in New York.
Biden's been on a hot streak with giving women positions of power in his cabinet, with Kamala as VP, Haines as Director of National Intelligence, Thomas-Greenfield as UN ambassador, and now Susan Rice to lead U.S. foreign policy. I wonder if AG could end up going to a woman as well.
@cheesemaster saidWhy wouldn't it be pandering if they were all men?
If so then possibly that would be pandering?

The post that was quoted here has been removedThe author is the editor of the Jacobin. Are you seriously suggesting that it is not an extremist left wing magazine? It proudly asserts otherwise even quoting a Chris Hayes statement on its website that: "it’s very explicitly on the radical left, and sort of hostile to liberal accommodationism."

So no that's not an "ad hominem" but an accurate description of the author's political positions.
I don't care about what flunkies Biden wants. The fact that the Democratic Party chose Biden rather than more leftist candidates surely meant that his Cabinet and advisors would be quite different from those whom Bernie Sanders and/or Elizabeth Warren would have selected. And the fact that they may need Republican votes for confirmation limits his options even more.
Stop with your personalizing, crybaby comments. Stick to the subject at hand.

@earl-of-trumps saidGeorge Marshall was a pretty good Secretary of Defense.
I do NOT like a military man being in charge of the Pentagon, sorry. That is supposed to be a civilian position and rightfully so.
