if you were President 🇺🇸

would you pick
for your cabinet
thank you
for supporting
open to change
🙏🏼

these words
really reading
i send you 💚
Michael Shellenberger, Bari Weiss, Rob Henderson and Coleman Hughes would make a great addition…Bill Maher is ok, just not as VP. Whenever I hear the line “if I were president…”, I hear Olive Oil from Popeye singing her song 😊
Interesting concept. Bill Maher would not be one of my choices however Jordan Peterson would be a fine addition to your cabinet. Light n love Dareen
