    Surrounded by a large team of young, bright, competent and experienced professionals, academics and intellectuals who are all part of the decision making process, not grifting family members, criminals and sycophants. How far did you get in school again?

    With all due respect gentlemen, you won. That includes me. Have you ever heard of the term 'noblesse oblige' ? Given that Joe Biden has given quite a gracious acceptance speech, emphasizing healing and conciliation, I don't think you are assisting anyone's cause with all of this ad hominem stuff. Show some Grace in Victory.

    For the dog lovers,………

    President-Elect Joe Biden's German Shepherd Major to Be First Rescue Dog in the White House

    Now introducing the First Dog-elects, Major and Champ Biden!




    For the first time in four years, dogs are heading back to the White House thanks to president-elect Joe Biden, who won the election over Donald Trump on Saturday.

    Biden's German shepherd, Major, will also make history as the first rescue dog to live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, according to NBC News.

    The Biden family adopted Major from the Delaware Humane Association in November 2018, 10 years after the couple welcomed their first German shepherd, Champ.

    “We are so happy to welcome Major to the Biden family, and we are grateful to the Delaware Humane Association for their work in finding forever homes for Major and countless other animals,” the Bidens said in a statement at the time.

    Major, who was fostered by the Bidens before being adopted, was "from the litter of German shepherd pups that were surrendered and not doing well at all,” according to the Delaware Humane Association.

    “Once we posted about them for your help, Joe Biden caught wind of them and reached out immediately. The rest is history," the group wrote on Facebook.: Joe Biden'''s Major to Be First Rescue Dog in White House | PEOPLE.com

    Joe is a decent human being.
    As opposed to the previous shit sack.

    Joe Biden’s ongoing recovery from the trauma of the deaths of his first wife and youngest child have dramatically shaped his career, from the ways in which he speaks to crowds about grief and mourning to his views on healthcare.


    Though not unique to his brand of politicking, the former vice president and 2020 Democratic nominee for president has famously framed his current ideas through the lens of his past.


    While out shopping just days before Christmas in 1972, his 30-year-old wife Neilia and 13-month-old daughter Naomi were killed in a car accident after a tractor-trailer carrying corn broadsided the family’s Chevrolet station wagon. Campaign literature featuring the young senator-elect from Delaware littered the streets.


    Their two sons, Joseph “Beau” Biden III and Robert Hunter Biden, survived.


    More than 40 years later, Beau died following a brain cancer diagnosis.


    The daughter of successful diner operators in New York state, Neilia Hunter was born on 28 July 1942 in the affluent town of Skaneateles. She graduated from Penn Hall preparatory school in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, in 1960.


    She participated in French club, hockey, swimming and student council, and was the photography editor of the Penntonian, and vice president and then president of the International Relations Club, according to her school’s yearbook.


    In 1963, Neilia, then a college sophomore at Syracuse University, met Mr Biden, then a junior at the University of Delaware, on the beach in Nassau during spring break.


    Asked about his career goals, Mr Biden told his future wife’s mother: “President.” After he earned his bachelor’s degree in Delaware, Mr Biden moved to Syracuse for law school. There, Neilia earned her master’s degree in English and taught special needs students.


    They married on 27 August 1966 while he was still enrolled in law school. He has called his time there “a dangerous combination of arrogant and sloppy” and ultimately graduated 76th in a class of 85.


    Following his graduation, the couple moved to the suburb of Wilmington, where he practised law and joined the New Castle County Council.


    Though Neilia Hunter was a Republican, Neilia Biden registered as a Democrat, according to The News Journal.


    The couple’s first and only daughter Naomi was born 8 November 1971, the youngest of three children, with two older brothers Beau and Hunter. She had the nickname “Amy”.


    One year later, Mr Biden challenged Republican incumbent J Caleb Boggs for a Delaware seat in the US senate seat.


    Neilia became his closest adviser and the “brains” behind his campaign, The News Journal reported.




    The family campaigned across the state, mounting a lucrative grassroots campaign attacking his Republican incumbent as old and out of touch, a shock to the status quo highlighting the generational divide between the elder conservative statesman’s base and a much younger electorate following the Vietnam War and civil rights movement. It also was the first year 18 year olds were eligible to vote.


    The 30-year-old underdog won the race in November 1972.


    The following month, Neilia asked her husband, “What’s going to happen, Joey? Things are too good,” The News Journal reported.


    One week before Christmas, the senator-elect was in Washington DC interviewing staff members for his new office when he received the news about the deaths of his wife and daughter.


    After that phone call, “my whole world was altered forever”, Mr Biden later said in a speech to Yale University graduates.


    Police determined that Neilia accidentally drove into the path of the tractor-trailer and didn’t see it coming.


    Roughly 1,200 people crowded a memorial service for Neilia and Naomi, the Delaware State News reported.


    In his 2017 book Promise Me, Dad, Mr Biden wrote that “the pain ... seemed unbearable in the beginning, and it took me a long time to heal, but I did survive the punishing ordeal. I made it through, with a lot of support, and reconstructed my life and my family.”


    He was officially sworn in at his sons’ bedside while they were still in the hospital.


    The freshman senator had also planned for Neilia to organise his Capitol Hill office, the Evening Journal had reported.


    Mr Biden said in his Yale speech: “I can remember my mother – a sweet lady – looking at me, after we left the hospital, and saying, ‘Joey, out of everything terrible that happens to you, something good will come if you look hard enough for it.’”


    With an intense, heartbreaking focus on his family, Mr Biden then began commuting daily from Washington to Delaware to remain with his young sons. It earned him the nickname “Amtrak Joe”.


    “And I began to commute thinking I was only going to stay a little while – four hours a day, every day – from Washington to Wilmington, which I’ve done for over 37 years,” he said in his Yale speech. “I did it because I wanted to be able to kiss them goodnight and kiss them in the morning the next day. ... But looking back on it, the truth be told, the real reason I went home every night was that I needed my children more than they needed me.”


    Five years after the accident, Mr Biden married Jill Jacobs, then a student at the University of Delaware. They met on a blind date.


    The couple married on 17 June 1977 at the United Nations Chapel in New York City. Beau and Hunter attended both the ceremony and the honeymoon.


    Hunter named his daughter Naomi in honour of his later sister.


    The former vice president has relied on the tragedies of his life to help speak to voters who have felt similar loss.


    In an interview with MSNBC earlier this year, he said that “hundreds of people ... throw their arms over me” to tell him about the loss of their sons, daughters and spouses, and “all they want to know is that they can make it”.


    “The way you make it is you find purpose and you realise they’re inside you”, he said. “They’re part of you. It’s impossible to separate.”

    Putin won’t congratulate Biden until ‘legal procedures’ are settled

    Russian President Vladimir Putin will not congratulate Joe Biden until the U.S. election results are finalized, the Kremlin’s top spokesman said Monday.


    “Anticipating your possible question about Putin congratulating the U.S. president-elect, I want to say the following: we consider it correct to wait for the official summing up of the results of the elections,” Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, according to Interfax, the Russian news agency.


    Russia has sought to amplify President Donald Trump’s unsubstantiated claims of widespread election fraud, with the head of Russia’s Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, emphasizing that she has prohibited all voting by mail because of the risks of cheating.

    A while ago while watching the news and I overheard Biden thanking some supporters,…….. “see you at the inauguration”. I thought Biden might hold a small private (invitation only) indoor event because of Covid.

    Sent a note to my daughter asking if she wanted to attend. She was thrilled.

    I will try to post some pictures.

    most hotels which are close (walking distance) to the National Mall are already booked.

    And he should. To hold a mass gathering of that scale in the middle of a pandemic would be a fucking joke.

    President-elect Joe Biden has already selected the heads of his coronavirus task force, including the surgeon general who was fired soon after President Trump took office.

    Vivek Murthy***, who was the nation’s top doctor when Biden was vice president under President Barack Obama, will be named as one of the co-chairs along with former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner David Kessler, Biden’s deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday.

    CNN, citing sources, reported Saturday
    that they would be joined by Yale University’s Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith.

    The rest of the task force — which Biden referred to in his victory speech on Saturday — will be formally confirmed Monday.

    “The work starts right away,” Bedingfield said.


    “People want the country to move forward,” she continued, adding that the election result proved that “people are hungry for change.”

    “He’s going to begin transition work in earnest this week. He’ll be making calls, he’ll be making announcements to the American people, on how he’s going to make good on these campaign promises,” she said.

    Murthy — who was born in the UK to Indian immigrants — had been named for a four-year term as surgeon general in 2014 by Obama, before Trump
    forced Murthy to resign in April 2016.


    Kessler was appointed as FDA commissioner by President George H.W. Bush and served in the position through President Bill Clinton’s first term in the White House.


    The pair have both already been “advising [Biden] and our campaign since this virus emerged back in March,” Bedingfield said while confirming their new appointments.

    *** Baldy sacked him because he thinks gun violence is a threat to public health (which is pretty fucking obvious).

    Expect the trumpanzees to start squealing that "Thair gowna take away ar guuurrrrrrrrns!".

    The difference seems to be that people that worked for or know him well say he is a compassionate and empathetic person. He has known tragedy in his life which has probably shaped him. No one would ever accuse Trump of those qualities especially those who have worked for him in the whitehouse.
    Why would you sack the defense secretary with 70 days of your presidency to go. That is about 5 in 4 years from memory. Must be some sort of record. That alone says a lot about Trumps Presidency.
    Whatever the future the only sure thing is Joe cannot possibly be a worse President. He has already flagged rejoining the Paris agreement a big plus for the start of his Presidency.

    What a stark difference between Biden and the menace as Biden prepares to take office. Who is on Biden's covid-19 board? All scientists and top notch ones too. Trump's board? Pence, who doesn't believe in science (unless it suits him), cosmetic surgery and make-up girl Iflunka and her flunky husband slumlord Jared. The disaster is coming to an end.
