The Biden Administration: a puppy-hug in the making

Meh, he’s just riding Trump’s coat tails. If Trump hadn’t mismanaged the Pandemic and crashed the economy in 2020 there is no way it could have rebounded the way it did. So Trump’s really the one who deserves all the credit. MAGA!

(in case it needs to be said no I’m not serious)

If this doesn’t up Biden’s position in the stupid polls…

I recall Obama’s swagger walking down the hall toward the podium to announce the taking out of OBL - hopefully some transference has happened, here.

Update on the raid: PBS Newshour metioned that a second-in-command lieutenant and his wife were also got taken out, using their children as shields.
A neighbour said Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi had been there for eleven months and never heard from him and always paid his rent.
At first it was decided to take the place out by the air, but it was too much of a risk to civilians; they stormed by foot instead.

Wow. About to say the ‘b’ word.

A, yes, bipartisan bill on sexual harrassment has recently been signed, focussing on:

  • bans forces for arbitration for complaints
  • allows people to sue in court
  • covers all agreements, not just job related

Normally don’t post videos, but Lisa Desjardins just lays it all out in that characteristcally awesome way she always does. She just rules.

Yeah, pretty sure this has really been the wrong forum for this thread; anyhoos…

Hey - when ya got it…(sorry Gyrate, more than three elipses this time around :relieved:)…uh, yeah - ya got it.

ETA: heh, what?!?! dummy discourse won’t let me type more than three elipses in a row?!?!?!? :rage:

ETA II: as Gyrate gloats, fingers steepled.

I was wondering where I’d been living all this time. Apparently it’s in your head. :grin:

Oh I could quite easily out-Hannibal Lecter you any time. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah wierd this thread again.

Just watched on PBS Newshour the passing of $1.5 trillion government funding bill, some key points being:

  • Broad spending increases (for both defense and non-defense)
  • “Community Projects” (or earmarks) (first time in over a decade)
  • Ukraine: $13.6 billion. (half military, half humanitarian / diplomatic)
  • $1.45 billion to shore up the southern border. (something that should piss off Republicans, who salivate at blowing that situation out of porportion)

Plus oodles of other stuff that Lisa elaborates on in the link, like stuff on the Violence Against Women Act, the postal service and the Emmit Till Anti-Lynching Measure.

2,500 pages of whole grain goodness. :bread: !

Worth the 5:46.

Wacky - came to post about this week’s jobless claims, and came across an unfinshed post that discourse so kindly saved for me to finish (if I was to ever get my forgetful ass back to it), and so, from six days ago, this:

Back to more un-sexy ‘getting by’ news…

…and continuing in the vien of unsexiness that I’d bet ten inflatable Chet Huntleys the likes of CNN wouldn’t bother airing…

ETA:

forgot to highlight this:

New spin: “Biden helps fewer unemployed Americans than any previous President!”

If Biden cured cancer, Fox News would scream about how he destroyed jobs for all those oncologists.

Not to mention the drop in demand for funeral homes.

And murdered countless innocent lab rats, don’t forget that!

Call me Kitty Carlisle and dunk me in lye, but I don’t have the faintest where to post some actual half-decent news. (and probably not what the OP was looking for - I think - but hey: scurwillikins, huh?)

Bipartisan oddness:

Holy cow we needed that to pass, it hurt.

und: (a real head-turner)

Uh say what? Really, Joe.

But now:

So first Major and then Commander: Biden trains his dogs to bite people?

Maybe these are the Secret Service guys who were Trumpists?

Commander continues to be an asshole.

FoxNews: “Members of the Biden Family have physically assaulted law enforcement officers yet again”

With the odds being like 50% / 50% I’m comfortable with Commander’s gut on this one. These dudes signed up to take a bullet and die for anyone elected to office. Complaining about a dog bite is a bitch move and I have no time for Snowflakes.
