Mick1ParticipantA fun game to play in the car is, “name a member of the Biden cabinet”. I bet you can get Harris, maybe Antony Blinken, but that’s it. Yet, think back to George W Bush and the names trip off the tongue – Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice – because US politics used to be dominated by substantial, accomplished people (a few of them, contra the myth about Republicans, female and black).
Trump does three things that Kamala Harris doesn’t do:
- He shows up.
- He answers interviewer questions.
- He shows some chutzpah.
Trump has come under fire for comments on Harris’ intelligence. And it’s true that Harris failed to pass the California bar exam, which is notoriously difficult…the pass rate is around 50%. Famously, Stanford’s law school dean didn’t pass it on her first attempt. By way of comparison, Amy Coney Barrett graduated first in her law school class at Notre Dame.

ParticipantGranholm is Secretary of Energy, because she kept stock in green companies well past the divestment date (and the Free Beacon’s reporting saved her money when the company went under after she divested). I think she promoted EVs for the military and there was an incident where her advance team blocked off all the charging stations while trying to demonstrate the range of EVs.
Buttigieg is Transportation Secretary because he’s been a disaster on supply chain, train disasters, air travel, and went AWOL while promoting a documentary about himself and Chasten.
Lloyd Austin is Defense Secretary because there came a point where he had surgery and no one was in charge. Gen. Miley is head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, ’cause he wants to understand white rage and possibly sold us out to the Chinese.
Julie Su is Acting Secretary of Labor because the Boston guy left, and they wanted to promote someone who oversaw billions of dollars of EDD fraud in California.
Mayorkas is head of Homeland Security because he was impeached for not doing his job.
Haaland is the first Native American secretary of the Interior. No real complaints, other than she has the same last name as an Icelandic striker for Manchester City.
Alex Cardenas is, I believe, Secretary of Education. After running New York City’s public schools into the ground and ahead of a corruption scandal, they promoted him.
Merrick Garland is Attorney General. That’s a cabinet position, right?
Yellen is Treasury Secretary, because she abandoned all semblance of knowing how economics works when she told us inflation was transitory, and out of the blue started going all in on modern monetary theory. No idea why people are still willing to pay for government debt.
I don’t know Commerce or Veteran’s Affairs.

Gina Raimundo is the Commerce Secretary.
That’s a jaw-dropper. The Commerce Secretary is unfamiliar with the Bureau of Labor Statistics? Yikes…
Denis McDonough, Obama’s Chief of Staff during his second term, heads up Veteran Affairs. Confirmed 87-7, he’s the second non-veteran to run DVA. Prior to Obama’s CoS role, he was Deputy National Security Advisor.

cardcrimsonParticipantNo no. The Bureau of Labor Stats is clear a Trump disinformation operation. . . .
