the guy Biden will wind up picking.

WASHINGTON -- President-elect Joe Biden is facing escalating pressure from competing factions within his own party as he finalizes his choice for secretary of defense.
Black leaders have encouraged the incoming president to select an African American to diversify what has so far been a largely white prospective Cabinet, while others are pushing him to appoint a woman to lead the Department of Defense...At the same time, a growing collection of progressive groups is opposing the leading female contender, Michèle Flournoy...
A coalition of at least seven progressive groups warned Biden to avoid Flournoy in an open letter to Biden... that referenced her record of “ill-advised policy decisions” — particularly in relation to Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Afghanistan — and an “opaque history of private-sector activity.”
...
Other contenders are emerging, including retired Army Gen. Lloyd Austin and Jeh Johnson, who served as the Pentagon’s top lawyer and then as head of the Department of Homeland Security during President Barack Obama’s second term. Both Austin and Johnson are Black.
The competing pressures are intensifying less than a month into Biden's urgent push to build an administration while trying to preserve the broad coalition that fueled his victory over President Donald Trump last month.
And facing massive governing challenges once he takes office on Jan. 20, Biden can perhaps least afford to lose the backing of the Democratic Party’s fiery progressive base. Nearly 100 House Democrats belong to the Progressive Caucus, which may wield significant influence over Biden's policy agenda as Democrats cling to their narrowest House majority in a century.
...
...progressives are gearing up for the possibility of more aggressive fights on Commerce, Labor, Education, Interior and Justice, among other unfilled Cabinet posts. They have already signaled intense opposition to the likes of Rahm Emanuel

It might as well be Mickey Mouse.
Job one for whomever gets the nod:

Forget qualifications, the position better be black, gay, trans, or a woman.
He will do what he’s ordered to do by $oro$ and co.
Mayor Groot from Chicago.
With Democrats identity politics is EVERYTHING.
“Forget qualifications, the position better be black, gay, trans, or a woman.”
Ideally, for the Dems, it would be all four, wrapped in one.

Nominate a transmission.
Massive? Give me a break, the media here may as well be Pravda

michelle obama?
I think it’s too much work for her. I can’t see her taking a job that would require that much effort.
Yes, the Dem/Soc/Comms have made that very obvious for some years. Slo-Joe will fill his cabinet with the least qualified, but the most "diverse" losers ever.
Time is getting short to stop this old, demented, child hair sniffing, 40 year Swamp Creature who has stole this election.
If sworn in on Jan. 20th, I'm going deep and dark. Any suggestions how to communicate with like-minded with secure communications? I have an account with Protonmail.com which is encrypted, but I don't believe it is beyond the prying eyes of the NSA or others. Got secure comms recommendations?
The hypocrisy continues. Has any media outlet asked him “the ?” If he sold out his 16 yr old granddaughter Natalie? Why not ask Beau’s ex wife.
I bet he will pick someone who cannot recognize standard rank symbols. Psst, the officers wearing the butter bars on their shoulders are ensigns (O-1) not Fleet Admirals.
Now, let me read from the Book of Palms, 1:2 The Lord said, quit sniffing young girls’ hairs or I will smite you.
They need a triumvirate: Pete Buttigieg, Chelsea Manning, and Jeremiah Wright.
...to satisfy the never-satisfied diversity scolds within the soon-to-be Biden administration, the ideal candidate should be a trans now-lesbian black (no, I will NOT capitalize that word...) female with an Hispanic last name who works in a wheelchair
I can’t believe they haven’t thought of this yet.
