The Republican Party started with Lincoln appointing his #TeamOfRivals to his cabinet so he would always have an opposing view to temper his decisions.
Now we have Trump and his admiration cabinet giving zero guide rails on safeguarding our democracy. www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...
If you’re not using agents to make your AIs actively fight against each other, you’re wasting time #teamofrivals
Advice to #ZohranMamdani is stop whatever else you are doing right now & make arrangements to consult w/ the retired defense institutionalists #JimMattis, #JohnFKelly, #MarkMilley.
Make them your #WiseMen’sCounsel or #TeamofRivals. They are ‘schooled in excellence’ & are excellent.
A nice re-watch pick from the Gods.

Has there ever been a administration this incompetent? Keystone Cops seem like mensa members compared to this. Obama wanted to emulate #TeamOfRivals as I recall. This crew seems to be going for #RinglingBros. Of course Ringling was competent and successful in its day. These yahoos……… 🙄🙄🙄
Read #TeamOfRivals to understand why Lincoln rejected execution and went with amnesty. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2199
@doriskgoodwin.bsky.social’s #teamofrivals floored me. Such a human portrayal of #abrahamlincoln (leader with very low ego, I think) et al. So much history I wasn’t aware of and this incredible book made it accessible so many years later. As equally impressed by #author as subject. #reading

Action: Congress has a responsibility to oversee the Executive Branch, & the people have the power to hold their representatives accountable through their voice and vote. Mobilize, organize, and support elected officials that represent your values.
#TeamofRivals
Seeing Ray Lahood Transportation Secretary under @barackobama1961.bsky.social on @cnn.com talking about the PSA Airlines crash reminded me Pres. Obama had a #TeamofRivals w Republicans on his cabinet. 2 bad we now have a president who has 0 desire to reach across the aisle + only seeks #retribution.

And the slaughter came quickly, as expected. www.huffpost.com/entry/obama-...
#TeamOfRivals and all that.
Or do we think our cynical public, so jaded by current politics and misinformation, would not believe such a man were possible? I swear we need to be reminded. #TeamofRivals #AbeLincoln

Lincoln had his #teamofrivals. JFK had the #bestandthebrightest. Syphilis Batshittius has his #cuckoosnest. It’s not if these idjits start turning on each other, it’s when. And once the Bull Goose Looney has done the big #fredsanford, there is no way Shady Vance can hold it together. No. Way.
"In the formation of my Cabinet, I shall aim as nearly as possible at perfection. Any man whom I may appoint to such a position, must be ... pure and above suspicion, of unblemished reputation, and undoubted integrity." - A. Lincoln, 1/24/1861
President-Elect Abraham Lincoln set the standard for all future presidents when he chose a #TeamOfRivals for his cabinet. He wanted people who would work for the good of the country, not a bunch of "yes men."
@mtvalek yah, or a third. #teamofrivals
