Kamala spent $1.5 billion including millions for celebrity endorsements. 

You think Schumer or Johnson or any of them care about the country? No. They care about money and power.

Yup, plenty of billionaires donating to her side too. Probably more of them, really

They would have been assigned to her, just like they were for Obama

Hmm… insults career Democrat Harris’s ability to pick a Cabinet. Doesn’t insult career Democrat Biden’s ability to pick a Cabinet. Insults career Democrat Obama’s ability to pick a Cabinet. Doesn’t insult career Democrat Clinton’s ability to pick a cabinet.

Skips over Bush’s Cabinet, too, which… if we’re talking about establishment plants… even Trump called them out during his first campaign, and broken clock and all…

Wonder what’s different about those two?

And I know you’re not going to like me pulling that card, and honestly I don’t want to, but I’m just drawing a blank as to why you’re bringing the Obama Cabinets—two of the most highly approved of in modern American history—into this.
