President Biden thread

Published

Wow.  No one has started such a thread yet?

After promising that most K-8 students would be in schools in the first 100 days,  apparently Joe is afraid to lead on this and has drastically scaled back that goal.

Instead, we're shooting for about half to go to school at least one day a week,  by the end of April.

Curious, thinks that Mitch Mcturtle is going to do the same thing to Biden as he did to Obama. 

Five months from now, one year from now, who knows what's going to happen in the world or here in America, and the popularity that Biden now has, will vanish like Trump's toupee' and then he won't have the opportunity to do anything! 

Obama the proud, in the first two years sucked up to the republicans and they loved stymieing his agenda. Alongside the recession, he should have stacked the Supreme Court and removed citizens united, but he needed his name in neon lights. Obamacare! That's the republicans, done and dusted! No more gerrymandering or voter suppression without corporate funds! Koch, Adelson, Theil, DONE! 

We have extremely vain and unpatriotic politicians! Why? MONEY! 

Speakers circuit, corporate boards, it's never enough! And it's not like they have enough of an education to do anything good with the money, except buy things and stoke their egos? Idiots! We breed them like flies!! 

New term of the week...."support yacht".   Those people die and rot in the ground just as well as I will.  That knowledge keeps me smiling.

First President to visit Tulsa OK regarding their "race riot" eg massacare of black residents in 1921 --39 killed and ONE THOUSAND homes and business burned by a white mob

Wiki: Tulsa race massacre

Quote

The massacre began during the Memorial Day weekend after 19-year-old Dick Rowland, a Black shoeshiner, was accused of assaulting Sarah Page, the 17-year-old White elevator operator of the nearby Drexel Building. He was taken into custody....

...The Tulsa race massacre took place on May 31 and June 1, 1921, when mobs of White residents, many of them deputized and given weapons by city officials, attacked Black residents and destroyed homes and businesses of the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma, US. Alternatively known as the Tulsa race riot[10] or the Black Wall Street massacre,[11] the event is among "the single worst incident of racial violence in American history".[12] The attacks, carried out on the ground and from private aircraft, burned and destroyed more than 35 square blocks of the neighborhood – at the time the wealthiest Black community in the United States, known as "Black Wall Street".[13]

More than 800 people were admitted to hospitals, and as many as 6,000 Black residents were interned in large facilities, many of them for several days.[14][15] The Oklahoma Bureau of Vital Statistics officially recorded 36 dead.[16] A 2001 state commission examination of events was able to confirm 39 dead, 26 Black and 13 White, based on contemporary autopsy reports, death certificates and other records.[17] The commission gave several estimates ranging from 75 to 300 dead.[18][19]

We can’t just choose to learn what we want to know — and not what we should know. We memorialize what happened in Tulsa 100 years ago so it can’t be erased.

First US Presidential Foreign Trip starts Wednesday and concludes with meeting Putin next week.  Would love to be a fly on the wall with my Google translator.

Washington Post 6/5/21

Opinion:- President Joe Biden:

My trip to Europe is about America rallying the world’s democracies

Quote

On Wednesday, I depart for Europe on the first foreign travel of my presidency. It is a trip stacked with meetings with many of our closest democratic partners — including the Group of Seven nations, our NATO allies and the leadership of the European Union — before concluding by meeting with Vladimir Putin.

... In the United Kingdom, after meeting with Prime Minister Boris Johnson to affirm the special relationship between our nations, I will participate in the G-7 summit. This group of leading democracies and economies has not met in person in two years due to the coronavirus. Ending this pandemic, improving health security for all nations and driving a robust, inclusive global economic recovery will be our top priorities.

Already, the G-7 finance ministers have made an unprecedented commitment to build momentum for a global minimum tax rate of at least 15 percent to end the race-to-the-bottom on corporate taxation. And with the United States back in the chair on the issue of climate change, we have an opportunity to deliver ambitious progress that curbs the climate crisis and creates jobs by driving a global clean-energy transition.

It appears that Biden has rescued the American presidential reputation from the golden toilet.  According to the recent Pew Survey, the people of Europe are as happy to see Trump out of the White House as are the majority of Americans.

Quote

In each of the 16 publics surveyed, more than six-in-ten say they have confidence in Biden to do the right thing in world affairs. Looking at 12 nations surveyed both this year and in 2020, a median of 75% express confidence in Biden, compared with 17% for Trump last year.

How embarrassing for Trump.  Wait, does he experience embarrassment or shame?

The sociopathic brain is different than most of ours.  I often wonder if one sociopath can pick out another sociopath in a crowded room and define that other person as a sociopath?  Their brains are so unfamiliar to me but Trump was a GREAT teacher and example.  I'm much better at at spotting one now.

My first nursing was as a psychiatric nurse working in a large regional psychiatric hospital in the midwest in the 70s. Given that the fundamental characteristics of sociopathy include lying, reckless behavior and disregard for laws, I would suggest that the party of Trump is built upon the efforts of sociopaths seeking the approval of a psychopath. It seems so obvious.

I'll leave it to you experts with Psych DX --"over my head".  Only got pulled to our Psych unit 1 night in late 70's;  as LPN then, pulled  me to help run  8 bed CCU night shift instead when several critically ill --  was 2nd LPN to staff unit.

Beat being solo nurse/charge on 26 bed  Medical unit --existed 2 years due to two older seasoned nursing assistants who took me under their wings as 22 yo married newbie (4yrs SNF aide experienced helped).. When new 14 bed Telemetry/Respiratory unit  night charge opened, changed unit.

PS. starting 9wk onsite camp nurse position Monday --will pop in sporatically.

Too late for helmet, Boris has already banged his head too many times and that mop he has might offer better protection ?.

"U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, led a group of 14 Republicans who sent Biden a letter on Thursday urging him to take a cognitive test and make the results public.

The freshman Congressman served as White House physician under former presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Trump. In 2018, he gave Trump a clean bill of health after an annual physical and cognitive test that came amid questions about Trump’s mental fitness to serve."

LOL

Ronny "the pill pusher" Jackson demonstrated his partisan fealty to Trump when he lied about Trump's health status.  Gas lighting about an obese man's obesity is a terrible way to establish credibility, don't ya think? 

Next Dr Atlas will offer up his opinion. 

Ronny Jackson 'Bullied' Subordinates And Broke Alcohol Rules, Pentagon Report Finds

Quote

As it issued its findings, the Pentagon's inspector general's office cautioned that it had been prevented from handling the case as it normally would, citing interference from the White House that occurred during Trump's presidency. It did not interview current employees at the White House Medical Unit, for instance, citing the "chilling effect" on those witnesses after the Office of the White House Counsel insisted on being present for their testimony.

It seems more likely that Ronny is demonstrating his deep appreciation to Trump for saving him from the consequences of his bad choices and unacceptable behavior.  Do you simply look past all of that obvious lying and corruption to believe what this guy says?
