    Ok the rules:
    • Your post can only contain one department and guess.
    • You may post more than once for different departments.
    • Post can contain comments about previous guesses.
    • Guesses for one department can be used for other departments.
    • Minds can, of course, be changed.
    I will kick things off first...

    Secretary of State: Susan Rice

    This is as clear a choice as there can be. She has all of the credentials and rep to begin healing as relationships with our allies.

    Well, we've already seen what an incompetent POTUS does to the world (Trump Virus), faux corruption doesn't faze me one bit.

    It's not faux corruption. It's real. For all the talk about how defund the police cost the DNP votes. The DNP's lowest point in popularity was under Obama. This administration is largely seen as a continuation of his. I would be very concerned about the policies that will come out of this administration, and the midterms.

    Your opinion feels no different then Trump supporters who blindly excuse his horrible behavior because "Trump is sticking it to the Dems."

    what corruption? if there are potential conflicts of interest, those can be dealt with. But to label this as “corruption”, without a single official act having been carried out, is just sensational poo, with all due respect.

    OK.

    My opinion is based off of facts not feelings, I will always hold those who violate the law or commit ethical violations accountable, to say otherwise is just asinine.

    You may not like how these cabinet picks make you feel, but I challenge you to prove that they are corrupt. I do not recall multiple ethical violations under the Obama administration and if there were any, they were, no one turned a blind eye to it, they were punished. Just because the policies under Obama doesn't fit your agenda, it doesn't make them corrupt, that is very McConnel of you to believe that is the case.

    Your opinion feels no different then trump supporters who blindly excuse his horrible behavior because "Trump is sticking it to the Dems." This why we at this point, as a nation, right now, because so many people are just fine with "burn it all down" approach over just plain competence.

    Just because you don't like a direction or policy, it doesn't make it corrupt.

    Ok, the election stuff is stupid. 'do you mistrust government' is also a loaded question that would have a high 'positive' response rate.

    Secondly, it's pretty hard to find anyone to run these positions that aren't either connected politically or high up in the private sector. They aren't getting Staff Engineers to run these groups, they're getting ex CEO's, executives (president, vp's), i..e connected people who know how to run a business or orginization. You can only get so many politicians to run these groups.

    And you're going to hate a democrat from Louisiana who took oil money? The major oil companies and support companies all have a large presence in New Orleans and the rest of Louisiana. That's like someone getting some support from Insurance companies in Iowa, CT, or NYC. Duh... that's where they are.

    If a Republican would win in Silicon Valley, they'd get big Tech money. It's not rocket science.

    It's hard trying to figure out what's worse: the incompetence of Trump's team or the corruption of Biden's team.

    Being that Trump has incompetence AND corruption, and Biden only has weak corruption allegations that never went anywhere... I'd say Trump is worse, by a lot. It's why he was voted out after one term.
     
    The right has been attacking Democrats as socialists, but now they're attacking Biden because he's appointing people with corporate backgrounds? I don't think you can be a socialist and pro-corporation -- make up your mind!

    The GOP voter base suddenly became anti corporation. Which, is really interesting. Maybe they'll eventually flip to socialism themselves.

    Yet Trump's most significant legislative accomplishment was his tax cut that overwhelmingly benefitted corporations and the 1%. I don't get it.

    I think you are seeing alt right and Bernie Bros joining hands here to criticize Biden. JMO.

    eh, I don't know about that. I'm pretty much on the Bernie side of things, and Biden wasn't my first, second or third choice, but he sure as hell will be far and away better than the putrid abomination that we just went through the past 4 years. I hope he does get this country back on track. But of course after all that success the pendulum will probably swing back the other way and a bunch of stupid people will end up voting for another republican president, and in 8-12 years we'll be right back where we were (like how the country was with Bush before Obama). Why does it always seem like a (D) has to come in and clean up the shirtshow a (R) president caused, only for people to "forget" how we got there in the first place, and vote for another (R) right after :facepalm:
