You asked for it, so I'm giving it to you:

My review of @JoeBiden's Cabinet Picks!

SPOILER ALERT: they're what you would expect from Jim Crow Joe, one of the architects of every oppressive policy to come out of DC for the past few decades.
Secretary of State - Antony Blinken

You're looking at the guy who's directly responsible for accelerating the Saudi-led genocide in Yemen with US taxpayer money, weapons and intelligence. He's a key player in many Middle East wars, and never for good.

Secretary of Treasury - Janet Yellen

No stranger to the predatory banks that control our economy, she was Chair of the Federal Reserve and a great friend of the hedge funds.

Recently she received nearly $1M in speaking fees at Citadel. Sound familiar?

Secretary of Defense - Gen. Lloyd Austin

In response to concerns over Raytheon conflict of interests, he recused himself of any matters involving them.

So...he's just gonna not do anything then?

I been told y'all about him:

Attorney General - Merrick Garland

If Biden wants to demonstrate seriousness about criminal justice reform, picking Diet Jeff Sessions for the top law enforcement position in the US isn't the way to do it.

But hey...Harriet Tubman on the 20, amiright?

Secretary of Commerce - Gina Raimondo

As Governor of RI, she hiked insurance premiums, during COVID, to please lobbyists.

As the Commerce Dept. oversees the US Patent Office, the head of it having a history of colluding with Big Pharma is bad news.

Secretary of Labor - Marty Walsh

Walsh's career is rife with scandals, like strong-arming Boston developers into union contracts, using prison slave-labor for snow removal, and campaign finance corruption of up to $1.2M.

Real slam dunk pick here, Joe.

Secretary of Transportation - Pete Buttigieg

Mayor Pete presents himself as a progressive, young, up & coming politician.

I am increasingly convinced, however, that he is actually several dozen rats stuffed into a sausage casing.

Read this whole thread:

Secretary of hOmElAnD sEcUrItY - Alejandro Mayorkas

"Those who are pondering risking their lives to reach the US should be aware of what awaits them. It will not be open arms. We're going to send the vast majority of you back."

Guess who said that.

Who built the cages, Joe?
Secretary of Health & Human Services - Xavier Becerra

He replaced Top Cop Kamala Harris as California AG in 2017. Since then he carried on her legacy of protecting abusive cops, including refusing to investigate the shooting of Sean Monterrosa in 2020.

Secretary of Agriculture - Tom Vilsack

Here's a fun one! Tom has championed all sorts of bad things, including protecting eminent domain for private developers, imposing extreme restrictions on pseudoephedrine, and *checks notes* defending pink slime?

Secretary of Veterans Affairs - Denis McDonough

Denis was Obama's chief foreign policy advisor from 2007-08.

He's now in charge of the VA, which is ironic since he's responsible for making so many veterans need care due to his terrible foreign policy.

Well kids, this was a surprise to no one who has researched Joe Biden’s record.

Working with segregationists to undo civil rights protections.

The war on drugs.
The war on guns.
The 1994 crime bill.
And on and on.

Joe has shown us who he is.

We should believe him.
An excellent followup question from some of you: who would I pick?

Well, I wouldn't appoint anyone to most of these departments.

I would just fire the heads, undo those departments' regulations, and encourage Congress to end them to save taxpayers even more money.
