“I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it’s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences,” Harris said. “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”

    “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”

    How the actual fuck do you make that statement while having been alive during the past 8 years?

    More proof that Harris that progressives and leftists are going to be out in the cold again once she’s in office.

      If she appoints Susan Collins to Transportation, then the governor of Maine would appoint a Democrat to the Senate.

      Which would benefit the American public.

        If she appoints Susan Collins to Transportation…

        And all cars would then need to be retrofitted with a handcrank starter and a horn that goes kachoooooga like they were in the good ol’ days.

          a horn that goes kachoooooga

          id be okay with that. My current car’s horn just doesn’t convey the irritation the way I feel it should. I’m not using it to say ‘hello’, I’m using it to say ‘mind your fucking lane you inbred redneck’

          what? they’re driving a ginormous ford truck most the time. the new f150’s or whatever they are, I’m pretty sure if they get up on my bumper like they do because I’m not going 30 over the limit, they can’t actually see my car. At all.

        That would be a good compromise, and then remove Collins if she’s a problem to replace with someone else.

          Or just not wait for her to avoid or drag her feet in pursuing any sort of Democratic policy priorities and remove her immediately. Call it the “McConnel Rule”, where whatever you can technically do is good because there’s no takes-backsies.
