I think you know the answer to this. People at that level are put their for political reasons, not for competency. This is the Biden administration, peak nepotism. Probably a Republican president would be just as bad, but currently it is Biden.

Yes we all know the previous President famously kept his family far away from the levers of power.

This is accurate. Don't you know his son had an infamous laptop that exposed all of his illicit dealings with Ukraine, never mind the straight up insane things regarding their family affairs.

I mean, if there was ever a time to know the people supporting the current regime are in a cult, look no further.

You keep using that word nepotism. I do not think it means what you think it means. It’s not like Biden hired his daughter and son-in-law to bring peace to the Middle East and modernize the US govt among other tasks.

Peak nepotism? Really?

You can make a point about the administration, but if you’re talking about nepotism, specifically, you’re making a point about the wrong administration. There’s a much better example of a recent administration engaging in “peak nepotism”, a recent one that had the president’s children working in the White House.

I’m assuming the point you’re trying to make isn’t actually about nepotism and you’ve simply misunderstood what the word means.

That's not peak nepotism. Peak nepotism would be family members on the Cabinet or the Supreme Court.

Like, say, John F. Kennedy's brother.

Sure. I wasn’t trying to declare which administration was “peak nepotism”, only that calling the current one so is disingenuous when you have only to look as far as the previous one to find one that was more so.
