So nice to know Dr. Jill Biden will be gracing the white house grounds and not a european hooker.

First professor: Jill Biden to make history as a first lady with a day job

Jill Biden would scramble into cocktail dresses in a bathroom at Northern Virginia Community College before rushing to White House receptions when her husband was vice president. She graded papers at night in a tiny nook on Air Force Two. Her Secret Service agents dressed like college students and carried backpacks to blend in when she was on campus.

Now “Dr. B,” as her students call her, plans to continue teaching English and writing at the college when she moves into the White House in January. She will be the first president’s wife to continue her professional career as first lady, after becoming the first second lady to do so. She will also be part of a small group of union members to hold the title, including Eleanor Roosevelt and Nancy Reagan.

For Biden, 69, roles as a top White House figure and an educator will be intertwined, just as they were during her time as second lady, as she recalled in her memoir. A member of the National Education Association, she is a natural emissary to the teachers unions that aggressively supported President-elect Joe Biden’s bid for president after four years of battling the Trump administration and prior tension with the Obama administration over academic standards, charter schools and testing.

She plans to keep pushing two years of tuition-free community college, just as she did during and after the Obama administration, along with her work on initiatives to support military families and fight cancer. New plans include addressing food insecurity issues created by the pandemic, as well as tackling unequal access to technology and broadband for students, according to the campaign.

“It would be a real modernizing of the first ladyship ... to have the president’s spouse live the kind of life that the majority of women live, which is working outside the home professionally,” said Ohio University professor Katherine Jellison, who studies first ladies.

Jill Biden has assured union members that teachers will have a “seat at the table” in a Biden administration, and she said her husband will want to appoint an Education secretary who is an educator with public school experience and who will fight for the right to organize and collectively bargain.: First professor: Jill Biden to make history as a first lady with a day job - POLITICO

I'll keep this simple:

Go and find those on the map in post 257.

I suspect that old Joe will continue on with the traditional manner of American foreign policy/empire building, as his predecessors have practiced for decades.
You'll be reminded that President-elect Biden comes from that old-school moderate-conservative tradition - regardless of the romantic and fabricated labels that have been placed.

That being said - he'll be a better fit than what has transpired and encased itself of the last four years.

It might behoove him and his team to concentrate on the domestic side, as it's no secret that the U.S. is in a great chaotic mess - across the board - and requires a firm and broad domestic policies to right the ship......

**sabang** · 14-11-2020, 05:27 PM

Well, at least your posts says something Hung Lo! Yeh, I personally don't see any major changes either. Hopefully less bluffing & bluster than windbag trump, anyway.

yeah, except for reestablishing ties the WHO, attempting to regain the trust of NATO allies, returning to the negotiating table with iran and cuba, opposing illegal settlements in the west bank, re-entering the paris climate agreement, ending support for the saudi war in yemen, not looking the other way when autocrats and dictators trample on basic human rights, etc......btw, ask putin, al-sisi, MBS, duterte, bolsonaro and netanyahu if they also don't see any major changes.

**sabang** · 14-11-2020, 07:07 PM

I think the Saud family rather enjoy their analingus.

^Great stuff, hope it turns out that way. Lets just say that Obama came in with a great blaze of glory on the FP front, but m'ehh. Hope springs eternal.

**harrybarracuda** · 14-11-2020, 07:11 PM

Found all those countries on the map yet sabang?

How did it turn out?

Poor Bitter 'arry. There there, hope it gets better.

The financial markets are quite positive about the new broom. That's a good thing.-

Well well well, as I expected this thread is almost a unanimous lovefest for Joe Hiden. I don't think I'll ever understand how you see greatness in a turd of a man like Hiden. And to dismiss President Trump like you do when he has done so much good for the country. It's a real shame....a real shame you cannot recognise evil when you see it.

I have a small portfolio I play around with, Last spring when the market crashed I lost 18% and pulled out of the market for a month or so, then I went back in and regained 12% back but still 6% behind from where I was.
It was two steps forward, one step back, Nerve wrecking!
looking at the Covid situation around the world and in the US ,and all the news I hear about shutting down, I lost my nerve last week , pulled it out and park it in a interest only account .
CRAP!!! the ETF I was in went up 1.4% yesterday,
I need to stop looking , it only makes me sick , but it is like driving by an accident, cant help but look. LOL
I think I'll stay out for a month or so and see what happens with the spread of covid, the vaccine, and the transition to the new administration

I know, I know, i am also going against my own advice , but this is the closest I have gotten to where I was , and I am hopping to miss a bit of the downturn, and then ride the next wave up, apparently though I got out a day too soon, LOL
I dont understand why the market is still rising, all the fundamentals are wrong , other than the fact that there is no other place for the money to go to,

While it's obvious you are trolling, I will bite for a bit. Trump did exactly the opposite of his political schpeel of MAGA. He sent the US in a spiral and divided the nation. He never showed any professional leadership. He was a tyrant and behaved like a spoiled snot nosed kid. Add to that the first lady was an embarrassment and the rest of his family. It will take years to repair the damage he has done both in the US and our global image.

Btw, I am not on the Biden train thinking he is the answer for all, but I am very thankful Trump will be escorted out Jan 20 and he can go back to his reality show life in his tacky Trump Tower.

Really? Any support for Biden has to do with the relief of knowing the menace will be gone shortly. Btw, hero worshiping and kool-aid drinking is a practice of trumpanzees and trumptards, not progressives.

That's exactly what we were thinking about your and your hero trump for four years. Btw, bigots, criminals and liars are supported by bigots, criminals and liars.

Like over 200,000 covid deaths in 6 months, an economy is shambles, record debt, and a country never so divided?

It's a shame you're such a gibbering arsehole, but seeing as your hero will be out on his arse soon enough, you can wipe away your tears.

Yeah he killed 230,000 million people. Now through his incompetence 150,00+ per day are being infected with Covid. Our European partners are well down on us as well.

But Grumpy what happened to your predictions of a Trump landslide? You were saying his massive rallies were proof he would win as nobody came to Bidens. Well Biden didnt hold any and now thousand of Trumptards are infected with Covid from the rallies. Just fuck off dude.

Biden is bringing back the daily briefing. Here's who is likely to be at the podium.

President-elect Joe Biden’s return to “normalcy” will include restoring the daily press briefing — and at least two women are under consideration to lead the new post-Trump show, according to people familiar with the deliberations.

Kate Bedingfield is seen as having the inside track to become either White House communications director or press secretary. Symone Sanders could be offered the role of incoming press secretary, or slot into another position before winding up “at the podium” down the line, Biden aides and other people in and around the transition said.

Both have expressed interest in the senior White House posts. Their appointments would represent a return to the ways of previous administrations in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room — before familiar sparring and spinning devolved into gaslighting and outright falsehoods that damaged the Trump administration’s relationship with the press and many Americans.: Biden is bringing back the daily briefing.
