    Man with a van containing guns and explosives possibly planned Joe Biden assassination, court records say

    Alexander Treisman traveled to within four miles of Biden's home in Delaware in May, around the time the suspect bought an AR-15 rifle, investigators said.

    Treisman has been ordered held without bail in a federal case where he is accused of possessing and transmitting child pornography.

    ...yet Biden is the problem in the minds of these people. And, yeah, how does a 19 year-old - with obvious mental issues - get $500,000 cash?

    If Biden brings in Sanders, Buttigieg, and Warren into the cabinet, he’ll create massive Democratic enthusiasm.

    I'm just impressed that he's considering folks he was pretty ideologically opposite from. Shows that he is willing to have an open mind at least..A very valuable trait to have.

    The problem with adding Sanders and Warren is that both Massachusetts and Vermont have Republican -- albeit very moderate/liberal -- governors who would likely appoint temporary Republican successors. It surprises me Bernie would consider a cabinet appointment in light of the more urgent need to control the Senate.
     
    I'd be satisfied with a cabinet full of qualified people in their respective fields. I don't need to know who they are, just that they were appointed because they know what they're talking about and not because of political favor.

    That said, I do hope Buttigieg gets a role. He's such a great communicator I could see him making a fantastic chief of staff.

    People have pushed him to name some of his cabinet before the election to further build the enthusiasm. I don't see how it can hurt.

    Well it's not like any of Biden's appointees would have big shoes to fill. The day Betsy DeVos gets her pink slip will be glorious indeed, of all Trump's malodorous swamp things, she just may be the most offensive.
     
    No love for Andrew Yang? Due to the pandemic, it might be worth talking about/exploring universal basic income. I heard only around 20% of the relief funds went to the common people. The rest to billion dollar companies, the military, and private religious schools (they diverted funds away from public schools). You know, all kinds of stuff that help the common man

    Helping Joe Citizen is diametrically opposed to what the GOP is about. Their whole message is "Government is intrinsically evil, incompetent and corrupt. Government *is* the problem." Passing legislation that actually helps would reveal the lie in that.

    And when they get in office and run the government, they do their best to prove themselves right.

    Yang would be a great in the cabinet although I sort of want to see him run for Senate. Not actually sure what state he resides in -- I think either New York or Washington.

    Was going to say
    Yang’s ideas at least merit a full throated discussion
