      Many good criticisms of Biden—I can even imagine some from the right—but this is the lazy trope for the frothers: “Sleepy Joe is snoring away—“Angela Davis is really president!” One look at the cabinet, for better and worse, and it’s obvious who is in charge—his buds/colleagues!!https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1337466673243287552 …

      You found *one* exception to the overall trend—one criticized vehemently by the left! Moreover, it’s not even particularly likely that’s why he got that particular. That’s the thing—you know underscoring anomalies is bad intellectual method. HC/HLS taught you that—so why do it?

      Should I now walk thru all the nominees who are being lampooned as “friends of Joe” or old colleagues?—Gen. Austin was even a friend of *Beau’s*! He’s running this obviously. By the evidence.

      So don’t be lazy and play to your readership’s worst tendencies—right, the radical Black woman is *really* pulling the strings. If you want anybody to read you, but the kind of people who thinkit’s cool that 126 House Rs are on the crazy/cynical train, then don’t do this crap.

      And you're going to pretend Biden's not 78 years old, easily pushed around, & accompanied by an incoming VP with an appalling record of abuse of government power.

          The only relevant point in this reply is also not really substantiated: that Biden is easily pushed around.

          Dude, stop digging. This is when you just get your back up because I called out one for one you’re lazy bon bins for your buyer class. Pushed around? Again, tell that to the left which is getting very little her—Tom Vilsack, Ag Sec for life?

          Point is it’s transparent that Biden is making all the key personnel choices here—whether you like them or I like them, they are very much *his.* So it is just false to claim she’s running the show—the appointees confirm that. You can do smart work—so do that, not cheap crap.

          Still waiting for that “Fair point—pretty much every appointee Biden has made with one or two exceptions—Yellen another one—is either an old friend or colleague of Joe (or Beau), or both (Or somebody kingmaker Clyburn insisted on.)” So my theory of the case is wrong.”

          I’m waiting for the, “Ok fair point; if anything this cabinet selection process would indicate the opposite of my tweet.” Don’t be a *hack.* Absorb evidence from outside your frame—this is a really easy one. But you’re still “Senile Joe/Angela Davis.” Facts don’t bear that out
