President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

MoRonna speaks.



So if it was seized, who seized it?

 

I think the idea is, if that much was seized, a lot wasn't.

 

Did he say it directly to them - as in, was he trying to make some point to them, specifically, or was it part of a very long speech while the four were in the chamber?

McCarthy delays Dems vote, victory lap

Agriculture: "There's two families that grow 50% of all the carrots in the country. Have you ever eaten one of these baby carrots? There is no such thing. They are just big carrots and chop them into little."

A suggested pilgrimage: "John Lewis was a dear friend. He took me across that bridge a couple of times. You know what John Lewis did? If you haven't made that trek, you should do it," McCarthy said of the Edmund Pettus bridge as four black members — Reps. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) and Nikema Williams (D-Ga.) — sat in an otherwise nearly empty House chamber. Williams represents the Atlanta congressional district that Lewis held until his death last year.

Competition: "Picture America at a swim meet after World War II against every other country. We jump into the water, not only do we win, we drive off before second and third arrive."

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will undergo a "routine colonoscopy" Friday morning, and while under anesthesia will temporarily transfer presidential power to Vice President Kamala Harris.
The trip to Walter Reed Medical Center for the president's "routine physical" was not initially on the president's schedule but announced hours before Biden departed the White House shortly before 8:30 a.m. EST. He arrived at the Bethesda, Md., hospital at 8:51 a.m. EST.

 

Or the first baseman/outfielder.

 

1. That's unprovable but doubtless true. 2. It has ALWAYS been true. It was true under Trump and the Presidents before him. William Burroughs wrote it over 60 years ago, calling it the Algebra of Need. Drugs aren't a supply problem, they're a demand problem. Supply will always rise to meet demand, one way or another.

 

There are things that could be done at the US border to stem supply from outside the US. It's more of a question of whether it's the right thing to do, or the reward is worth it, etc.

 

It goes back to Nixon. A huge segment of the GQP feels he was cruelly hounded out of office by hippie libs.
