President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Carter was at the 715 game and later invited Aaron for a visit to the Oval.

 

He’s awfully concerned for a guy who once said he was through with the Senate because it didn’t offer a big enough platform.

 

One of the attorneys was a Trump Terrorist on 1/6. The other has been admitted to the Texas bar “for this occasion only.”

 

Really belongs on the other thread, but:

Since You're Gone

I can't help it
Everything's a mess
I can't help it
You're so treacherous

 

It stopped being funny 8 weeks ago.

 

Ron Klein and Bruce Reed, Biden’s chief of staff and deputy chief of staff are doing an amazing job of actually being ready on minute 1. Someone above said this and it bares repeating, Biden is a great businessman and leader. So far it does seem he’s surrounded himself with very qualified people, who don’t have their own agendas, and he gave them the latitude to do the job.

One of Clinton and Obama’s biggest problems, and what made them president, was the force of their personality. And the accumulated smart people, but with strong personalities also. Biden seems to be a technocrat president, not a Prophet of Change and Hope.

 

I'm actually a little disappointed in myself at the level to which I, for the last few days, have celebrated basic competence.

 

I got your unity right here, pal

Peter Doocy Told A Lie About Mask Mandate During Briefing

 

I recommend "Shattered," by Jonathan Allen (NBC) and Amie Parnes (The Hill). Really showed how Hillary blew it. I still blame her, in part, for the last four years. She had every advantage. It was almost like an incumbent running. She took her base for granted.

Actually, let's play some revisionist history. If Hillary wins in 2016, does Trump run against her in 2020 and what would have been the outcome. I'm assuming no international flare-ups, the economy more or less doing what it did without the massive tax cut and Hillary handling the pandemic better than Trump, which is like saying Patrick Mahomes will handle the Chiefs better when he takes over for Chad Henne.

 

In this case, the legalese that is used in suits such as this to identify the plaintiffs is appropriate: "Come now ..."
As in "Oh, come on now!"

 

I think the last four years wouldn't have been a lot different frankly if she won. She would have been impeached for "something" and not convicted. Congress would have said no to everything she wanted. And I don't even know if "Me Too" ever happens - it really seemed to come about as a backlash to Trump winning. Lauer, O'Reilly, Charlie Rose all still on the air...Weinstein, et. al.
