I’m not sure.
My view is that this is all run by the Chicago Mob, so it doesn’t make much difference if it’s SlowJoe or Kamalamadingdong at the big desk.
Well aren’t they special. If I’m not mistaken, Trump never got to complete his cabinet.
I remember that well into Trump’s 3rd year there were still about 300 people who hadn’t been approved by the Senate yet. Did all of them get approved in time to leave?
There. Fixed it.
Nahhhh....Joe is probably waiting for the Carnival to hit town.
He’ll have a chance to recruit from the carnies...which will be a WAY better pool of likely choices
That’s a great question.
If they’re disqualifying pot users this is gonna take a while.
“More presidentially appointed positions were sitting vacant at the end of President Obama’s first term than at the end of Bill Clinton’s or George W. Bush’s first terms, according to a ProPublica analysis.”

My impression is that Democrats are unprepared to govern. Strange, since they aspire to control starting at an age far below that of the average conservative. If you read the bio’s of various candidates you’ll often see that the Republican has already had a career in business. Most often, in my experience, you’ll find the Democrat lists his degrees, his experience in a job with the Senate or a particular candidate. He is often a good deal younger than the Republican. (At least at the state and local level where I often have to google the Democrat to even find out he IS a Democrat.)
As I recall, Obama left a number of judgeships unfilled, leaving them for Trump. I wondered why and I think I have an answer. The many liberals I have known consider themselves the smartest person in any room. And, in their particular field, they may be right. But expertise in, say, brain surgery, does not necessarily cross over into politics or policy, or, as is often the case, anything else. But these people know that, in their limited view of the world, they are God. (Ask any of them.) Thus, the largest number of professions killed as private pilots are doctors. That’s because, when the advisory says, “unsafe flying conditions” they know better. (Again, just ask them.)
Thus, the problem for any Democrat who arrives at the position where they can appoint people to help them carry out their policies runs into a serious problem. Here, in one paragraph is the problem.
“Obama had always had a high estimation of his ability to cast and run his operation. When David Plouffe, his campaign manager, first interviewed for a job with him in 2006, the senator gave him a warning: “I think I could probably do every job on the campaign better than the people I’ll hire to do it,” he said. “It’s hard to give up control when that’s all I’ve known.” Obama said nearly the same thing to Patrick Gaspard, whom he hired to be the campaign’s political director. “I think I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters,” Obama told him. “I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m gonna think I’m a better political director than my political director.””
How can you give up control when, in your view, nobody, and I mean, nobody, is as good as you?
Great choice - Moron Marty Walsh - Union thug - can barely read or write - destroyed Boston - along with help from Governor Charlie Parker.
Marty will be great destroying the Labor Department
A smaller government would have fewer positions to fill. Just saying.
“Biden Cabinet near complete but hundreds of jobs still open”
Heck, there are probably hundreds of folks from the Osama Obama administration still looking for jobs. Problem solved.
