I don't think any observer of US politics is naive enough to imagine "zero conflicts of interest."

i) Biden, unlike Trump, has not been bragging about getting great people; he's just doing his job of appointing experts.
ii) Trump's much-lauded "best people" turned out to be Turkish agent/ perjurer Flynn, racist sociopath Miller, corrupt (and corrupting) sycophant Barr, unqualified beneficiaries of nepotism, Mr &Mrs Kutchener, etc etc.

To use a phrase passed around in the early days of the Trump admin, John Kelly was praised as "being the adult in the room". At least with Biden, not only will we have an adult in the room, there'll be an adult in every room.

If not, perhaps he can give him a job in his cancer charity...

Tax filings reveal Biden cancer charity spent millions on salaries, zero on research

Thanks, Trollheart. I paused for a few moments when I saw my post count reach 5000.

First, to admire that number and then... to question my sanity.

Great to see you back and posting again!

I think after 5000 posts the brain slug planted in you when you join activates, and you are now a helpless and willing slave of the forum. Like the Eagles say, and like I found out several times, you can check out, but you can never leave!
