He is considering Mike Bloomberg and Jamie Dimon for his cabinet.

Somehow, it’s even worse than I imagined.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren as Treasury secretary could help unite the party.

I cannot think of single person on the planet who would be a worse choice for Treasury secretary. She has no clue about how the economy works or the impact stupid policy decisions would have on the US economy...none.

The Dems will do the same with Biden as they did with President Wilson. Prop him up dead or alive and run the country without him:

When a secret president ran the country!
Health Oct 2, 2015 1:42 PM EDT

Late on the evening of Sept. 25, 1919, after speaking in Pueblo, Colorado, Edith discovered Woodrow in a profound state of illness; his facial muscles were twitching uncontrollably and he was experiencing severe nausea. Earlier in the day, he complained of a splitting headache.

Six weeks after the event, Dr. Grayson told a journalist that he had noted a “curious drag or looseness at the left side of [Wilson’s] mouth — a sign of danger that could no longer be obscured.” In retrospect, this event may have been a transient ischemic attack (TIA), the medical term for a brief loss of blood flow to the brain, or “mini-stroke,” which can be a harbinger for a much worse cerebrovascular event to follow — in other words, a full-fledged stroke.

On Sept. 26, the president’s private secretary, Joseph Tumulty, announced that the rest of the speaking tour had been canceled because the president was suffering from “a nervous reaction in his digestive organs.” The Mayflower sped directly back to Washington’s Union Station. Upon arrival, on Sept. 28, the president appeared ill but was able to walk on his own accord through the station. He tipped his hat to awaiting crowd, shook the hands of a few of the people along the track’s platform, and was whisked away to the White House for an enforced period of rest and examination by a battery of doctors.

Everything changed on the morning of Oct. 2, 1919. According to some accounts, the president awoke to find his left hand numb to sensation before falling into unconsciousness. In other versions, Wilson had his stroke on the way to the bathroom and fell to the floor with Edith dragging him back into bed. However those events transpired, immediately after the president’s collapse, Mrs. Wilson discretely phoned down to the White House chief usher, Ike Hoover and told him to “please get Dr. Grayson, the president is very sick.”

Grayson quickly arrived. Ten minutes later, he emerged from the presidential bedroom and the doctor’s diagnosis was terrible: “My God, the president is paralyzed,” Grayson declared.

What would surprise most Americans today is how the entire affair, including Wilson’s extended illness and long-term disability, was shrouded in secrecy. In recent years, the discovery of the presidential physicians’ clinical notes at the time of the illness confirm that the president’s stroke left him severely paralyzed on his left side and partially blind in his right eye, along with the emotional maelstroms that accompany any serious, life-threatening illness, but especially one that attacks the brain.

Only a few weeks after his stroke, Wilson suffered a urinary tract infection that threatened to kill him. Fortunately, the president’s body was strong enough to fight that infection off but he also experienced another attack of influenza in January of 1920, which further damaged his health.

Protective of both her husband’s reputation and power, Edith shielded Woodrow from interlopers and embarked on a bedside government that essentially excluded Wilson’s staff, the Cabinet and the Congress.

During a perfunctory meeting the president held with Sen. Gilbert Hitchcock (D-Neb.) and Albert Fall (R-N.M.) on Dec. 5, he and Edith even tried to hide the extent of his paralysis by keeping his left side covered with a blanket. Sen. Fall, who was one of the president’s most formidable political foes told Wilson, “I hope you will consider me sincere. I have been praying for you, Sir.” Edith later recalled that Woodrow was, at least, well enough to jest, “Which way, Senator?” A great story, perhaps, but Wilson’s biographer, John Milton Cooper, Jr. doubts its veracity and notes that neither Edith nor Dr. Grayson recorded such a clever rejoinder in their written memoranda from that day.

By February of 1920, news of the president’s stroke began to be reported in the press. Nevertheless, the full details of Woodrow Wilson’s disability, and his wife’s management of his affairs, were not entirely understood by the American public at the time.

What remained problematic was that in 1919 there did not yet exist clear constitutional guidelines of what to do, in terms of the transfer of presidential power, when severe illness struck the chief executive. What the U.S. Constitution’s Article II, Section 1, Clause 6 on presidential succession does state is as follows:

The plans are worthless. The Dems will pull the plug on him soon and Biden will be playing Bingo at the Sunny Daze Retirement Village and Rest Home by the time November rolls around. The Alzheimer’s is picking up speed and reality is knocking on the door.

Speaking of Ediths, I hear Edith Bunker had a child by her first boyfriend, Eddie Haskell. That child grew up to be VPOTUS.

"Left-Wing Media Leaks Joe Biden’s Secret Governing Plan [??? emphasis added] – His Possible VP And Cabinet"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Desperate Democrats have never had a governing plan except for raising taxes and selling the USA to foreign capitalists imo.

Remember in November!

MAGA, now KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.

Remember in November!

MAGA! Now KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

Bumholejudge would bee the 1st Secretary of BOHICA, one of several new cabinet posts under Biden that have the purpose of wasting money and making lives miserable for the hard working.

Here’s the real plan...

- Bernie and Biden will go into the convention and sell thier delegates to Hillary for 1 million per delegate.

- Bloomberg will gladly pay the bill.

- Hilary gets the nomination and picks Mini-Mike as running mate.

- Then she gets sick with Corona and drop dead on stage during a Trump debate

- Trump will call for a national 3 second Hilary mourning moment

- Trump then accidently steps on Mini-Mike and wins by default!

4 more years!!!
