JUST FOR FUN - OR FOR HYPERTENSIVE POLITICAL DISCUSSION

 JUST FOR FUN:

THOUGH many of you will be very serious about the tone of this thread, and THAT is OK too.


We know who Joe's running mate is now.


BUT what if he wins, and has to choose those he wants serving around him, like his inner circle or cabinet?


OK OK, never mind the speculation that Trump won't accept the results if he loses, just play along, this is a "what would I do" thread.


SIMPLY:

IF you were Joe, who would you pick for key positions?


BE IMAGINATIVE or be serious, either way is OK.


Here are just some of my thoughts:


Secretary of State: Susan Rice

Chief of Staff: Hillary Clinton

Senior Advisor: Elizabeth Warren

Attorney General: James Comey

Deputy Attorney General: Cyrus Vance Jr

Secretary of Health and Human Services: Barack Obama

Secretary of Energy: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Secretary of Veteran Affairs: Tammy Duckworth

Secretary of Education: Michelle Obama

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development: Cory Booker

Secretary of Labor: Bernie Sanders

Secretary of Defense: Tulsi Gabbard

Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection: Julien and Joaquin Castro (jointly)

White House press secretary: Megyn Kelly


Added Bonus: Future Appointees to the Supreme Court:

Merrick Garland

Gonzalo P. Curiel

Amy Berman Jackson

Victor Marrero


OK OK have fun ridiculing this list, but let's see if you can come up with a better one - AND I may have missed some key assignments, so feel free to add any important positions I missed.


PLEASE PARTICIPATE!!

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Image
Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
