The Biden administration (was: The NEW 2020 Election Thread)

[pilferk]

Best of luck and health

Just saw that Trump left Biden a note afterall and Biden seemed to indicate it was not entirely awful

This...would be interesting to see

I'm 50/50 on whether Biden was just being gracious in that answer or not.  Maybe someday we'll see. Because I imagine:

"JOe,

You now I won. I'll be back. See you in 2024. Bigly

-The Winner of the 2020 Election
DJT"

A Donald Trump supporter suspected of stealing a laptop or hard drive from Democrat Nancy Pelosi's office during the US Capitol riots has been arrested.

A former romantic partner had said in an affidavit she intended to sell the data to Russian intelligence.

Could you make this kind of shit up even if you tried?

Why didn't she just take it to the repair shop where Biden's son took his?

Yeah, where does it say "You're a fascist" or "I think you're a fascist"?


Edited to add: Once again, I didn't say you are a fascist. Sorry if that wasn't obvious to you. I asked why you have a hard time not supporting something that's so out of this world. Instead of saying "no, this isn't cool" you like to play these games about how everyone else is equally bad. The typical. Like the common "But Obama......" excuse used by people who claim to have moved on a long time ago.

I guess it's tough when not enough people believed in your MAGA state of mind and instead went with the more normal. Even people who think the system isn't perfect figured the alternative was still better than four more years of lies and more lies.

I don't know why you keep lying. you are unable to accept the fact that i made it clear that i do not support fascism.

you keep saying that i have a "hard time not supporting" fascism. that is a blatant lie.

i did not play any games, or try to point out anything the left does, or Obama, or anything like that.

i'm asking nicely - please stop suggesting that i in any way support fascism, OR have any problem with not supporting it. please.



This discussion has gone too far. i'll give you the last word and i suggest you lock this thread. the election is over, and it's become boring as hell for the other posters (both of them). someone should create a Biden Administration thread.

Now there's a winning idea, a thread for the new administration.

[tim_m]

That was one hell of a farewell speech.  You keep him on script, he's good.

Okay I'm not sure I can believe a word that came out of his mouth about the accomplishments but it sounded good.  Good bye you crazy man.

That's the understatement of the century.

[tim_m]

Watching the way Biden treats Jill in public vs the way Trump treated Milania in public.......it's such a striking difference.

Yep, like when did we ever see Trump assist Melania getting into the limo?

[tim_m]

Biden, during the virtual swearing in of some of the staff, basically told them if they discriminate against or mistreat someone, they will be fired on the spot.  Because everyone deserves to be treated with decency.

And we're mostly through the first Press Briefing from this administration. Not ONE lie. Not one bit of misinformation.  And not one attack on the press, or the opposing party.

Doesn't seem like she's having a rough time doing it, either.

It's a new dawn, it's a new day...and we're feeelin' good.

I loved that, disrespect anyone and you're gone no if's, and or but's about it. As it should be. We all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

yes, i hope we get to see the contents, as Biden said it was generous.

For me, the best moments of yesterday were, obviously the swearing in of VP Harris. A Black, South Asian Woman VP walks into the Whitehouse shattering a 244 year glass ceiling. The young poet Amanda Gorman, this woman's poem was awe inspiring. it gives me great hope for the future. She reminds me of a young Obama who can inspire with her words. It was just breathtaking  Finally seeing the entire Biden clan in the residence watching the celebration on tv dancing to Demi Lovato.

How has this story not gotten more traction? Conway is a reprehensible human being and needs to be put in jail for child abuse.

Warning: This video is disturbing.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dr. Anthony Fauci is back.

In truth, the nation’s leading infectious-diseases expert never really went away. But after enduring nearly a year of darts and undermining comments from former President Donald Trump, Fauci now speaks with the authority of the White House again.

He called it “liberating” Thursday to be backed by a science-friendly administration that has embraced his recommendations to battle COVID-19.

“One of the new things in this administration is, if you don’t know the answer, don’t guess,” Fauci said in one pointed observation during a White House briefing. “Just say you don’t know the answer.”

That's one thing about working in government, do you stay and serve the greater good or save yourself and get the fuck out?  I could not have worked for Trump but how do you turn your back and walk away to leave it to him?

Portland business owner says riots causing 'devastating’ damage, urges officials to crack down

Just goes to show you that some need very little to show their "anger".

Not exactly anti fascist when you smash windows of a Democratic party office.

That's one thing about working in government, do you stay and serve the greater good or save yourself and get the fuck out?  I could not have worked for Trump but how do you turn your back and walk away to leave it to him?

That's what happens when politics are more important than science and facts.

When people are hired because they're family members or just fit an agenda without any prior knowledge in the field. For example, Brazil has a health minister with no experience in the field, but he's a military guy, so it fits the agenda of their president.

What amazes me is how easily some people are moved toward certain beliefs by claims like those that Kamala Harris got her position "just because she's a woman of color" but don't even pretend to give a shit about Trump's giving a ton of unqualified people positions just for their loyalty and proximity/relation to him.

The key quote IMO was this one:

"Nobody is telling you what to say"
