“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,” she said in an early excerpt of the interview set to air Thursday evening. “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”

Is she going to appoint a Palestinian in her Cabinet too? Place your bets here!

Who do you think would be a good fit for a cabinet position, which requires administrative and policy experience?

Is "administrative and policy experience" slang for "being bribed by corporate"?

If not there sure are a lot of "experienced" people not very good at their job.

You complain about no Palestinians, but when I ask for recommendations, you choose to not answer. That really doesn’t help the cause, and it makes you seem like you want to create discontent rather than actually being interested in having a Palestinian cabinet member.

I can think of several well known Palestinians with experience who might be a good cabinet member. Your list gets mine.

What cause is being helped by recommending a Palestinian cabinet member for Kamala? That's like asking to recommend a Jewish cabinet member for Adolf Hitler. I'm saying she should appease to people who don't like Genocide instead of Republicans.

So you don’t really care. You’re just spreading bullshit.

Posting that while doing Genocide denial is peak irony.
