Joe Biden's secret governing plan
Axios ^ | March 9, 2020 | Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen

Posted on 03/09/2020 7:54:19 AM PDT by maggief

Joe Biden confidants are privately discussing potential leaders and Cabinet members for his White House, including the need to name a woman or African American — perhaps both — as vice president, top sources tell "Axios on HBO."

Why it matters: Biden advisers describe a Return to Normal plan — a reversal of President Trump's unorthodox, improvisational style. Biden wants known, trusted people around him — many from the Obama years.

Several high-profile possibilities:

John Kerry would love to take a new Cabinet position devoted to climate change, or might even accept a curtain call to return as secretary of state.

Susan Rice, formerly President Obama's national security adviser, is another option for State.

Mike Bloomberg, who swiftly endorsed Biden after the former mayor's campaign collapsed, would be a top possibility to head the World Bank.

Sally Yates, the deputy attorney general under Obama who stood up to Trump and was fired, would be a leading contender for attorney general.

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

Jamie Dimon — chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, and mentioned over the years as a potential presidential candidate — would also be considered for Treasury.

Anne Finucane, vice chairman of Bank of America, is another possibility for Treasury.

Biden advisers expect Pete Buttigieg to get a prominent slot after his swift endorsement of Biden — perhaps as ambassador to the UN, or as U.S. trade representative.

Both would help credential Buttigieg for a future national campaign.

Biden’s return to Deep State plan.

They aren’t shy about advertising it as Baraq’s Third Term.
And don’t sell Axlegrease and Plouffy short when it comes to getting people elected.

No chance of that.
Biden is too brain damaged to get elected.

So a Biden administration would be a hive of scum and villainy.

Soros or Gates to head the CDC?
would help them both design new population-murdering viruses.

Romney to head the Department of Religion?
would keep him on Earth instead of his home planet.

Harris for VP and reservations for the Lincoln BEDROOM?

Biden's already made a plusperfect dumb move: putting Beto O’Rourke in charge of grabbing guns.

Experts estimate that move just added 2-3 points to Pres Trump’s vote totals.

Heck, I'd say Trump's numbers skyrocket if Beto comes around grabbing guns wearing that floral print number of his.

is this author seriously suggesting that the anti-American hijinks of the Jarret/Obama administration were normal?

Haysus people! If nothing else motivates you to get everybody you know living or dead to the polls to vote for Trump, this should!

The only thing lacking would be to dig up Ded Kennedy and John McTurd and prop them up together as Secretaries of Treachery.

“Biden’s return to Deep State plan.”

Looks like an Obama third term. Any Clintonistas on that list, other than mini Mike?
