Joe Biden's Cabinet Speculation/News

[Green Line]

Liz Warren likes for Treasury

1. A GOP Senate would never confirm that
2. Personally, I'd prefer Warren as Secretary of Education

1) Screw them, anyone the Senate GOP would confirm is going to be a VC shill. Warnock and Ossoff or acting secretaries (or Collins/Romney/however giving pro-forma votes to all nominees to burnish bipartisan cred)
Mitch McConnell doesn’t get to pick the cabinet.
2) It’s whoever Warren likes not ‘Warren’, senators are important

No.  Advise and consent.  Thats how it works. Joe Biden needs to nominate moderates who can pass the Senate, otherwise he gets nothing.

I’d suggest Jamie Dimon for Treasury.

Would be a really, really wonderful move for Biden to appoint Rahm to something.  He will earn my approval for at least Day 1 of his Presidency.

What world are you living in? Progressives and half of Chicago would crucify him and make his admin a living hell. (Rightfully so) He should be anywhere near the administration.

Why should he be worried about what they think?  Anyway, most Chicagoans would applaud it.  They're already having buyers remorse here to begin with.

Well he does need their support to confirm his nominees, advance his agenda, and win re-election...

But nah they’re useless and who cares about them. AOC Bad amirite?

Something like that.

Not sure where you're getting that. Some examples on his resume:

-During the Obamacare fight, he spewed obscenities at progressives urging more robust reform

-Covered up Laquain McDonald's murder

-Closed 50 elementary schools, mainly in African-American areas.

-Closed half of Chicago's mental health clinics

-Sunk city government spending into wealthy and mainly white areas.

-Refused to renew public housing and blocked an ordinance that would have increased Chicago Housing Authority transparency. Again, this affected predominantly African-Americans

-Rejected several referendum results calling for an elected school board, and instead appointed CEOs, including one who is currently serving time for corruption.

-Privatised everything from school janitors to trash collection.

His tenure as Mayor was a disaster, and one can make the argument that there is an element of racism in it, given how it was uniquely terrible for African-Americans and basically saw one of the catalysts for BLM.

Thats your opinion, as an Australian socialist.  Do you really expect me to respond to all these half truths and out-of-context one liners?  I don't care anyway, since I'm not a progressive.  All of those things are whatever.

Well if he was the brilliant mayor you claim he was, then you'd have an answer for each of these.

Also, your buyer's remorse thing doesn't exist, considering her latest poll put her at 61% approval and Rahm's last one in 2016 put him at 62% disapproval, not to mention that half of the city at one point favoured his resignation.

If he was as brilliant as you think he was, you wouldn't waste any time debunking any of these.

I just really, really, don't care tho

This feels like they are choosing a cabinet in a parliamentary coalition government, only instead of parties it's sexual and ethnic characteristics.

Yes, its the Democratic Party we're talking about.

These people are legitimately qualified though, especially in comparison to Trump's Cabinet of foxes in hen-houses.

Some are bad, some are good.

Hopefully he picks an Illinois Republican for Department of Transportation.
