    Biden’s First-100-Days Agenda Targets Executive Orders, Fresh Covid Aid - WSJ


    Interesting article on Biden’s hundred day agenda. I’m relieved to see that he has no plans of dismantling Space Force. I just feel safer knowing they are up there, patrolling the universe, and making the world safe from alien invasions.

    The first press conference is underway now. What a breath of fresh air. A press secretary who actually answers questions and is civil. Oh, and no lies.

    As you said, what a pleasure, to watch an articulate professional press secretary that actually answered questions truthfully.

    Indeed. Hopefully we can have some normalcy with regards to the WH this year.

    Nice words . . .


    EUROPEAN COMMISSION PRESIDENT URSULA VON DER LEYEN, IN A TWEET:
    “The United States is back. And Europe stands ready. To reconnect with an old and trusted partner, to breathe new life into our cherished alliance. I look forward to working together with @JoeBiden.”
    GERMAN PRESIDENT FRANK-WALTER STEINMEIER, IN A VIDEO STATEMENT:

    “Today is a good day for democracy. In the United States of America, it has faced tremendous challenges – and endured. Despite the attempts to tear at America’s institutional fabric, election workers and governors, the judiciary and Congress, have proven strong. I am greatly relieved that, today, Joe Biden is being sworn in as president and will be moving into the White House. I know many people in Germany share this feeling.”
    NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION SECRETARY GENERAL JENS STOLTENBERG, IN A STATEMENT:
    “I look forward to working closely with President Biden and welcoming him to the NATO Summit in Brussels later this year. Our focus will be NATO2030, the initiative to make our strong Alliance even stronger and fit for the future.”

    Welcome back to the world . . .

    Read that and weep Klondyke. The despot is gone gone gone gone gone, into obscurity, yes obscurity. After jail and paying his debts though. Normality can resume.

    OK so that's one thing fucked with the world sorted.

    Good to know planes can now fly over the Mar y Lago again, after being previously blocked for security reasons. Anything that might keep donny awake...

    So, better make the most of it until Ivanka 2024, eh?

    I think that's as likely as a Sarah Palin comeback.

    Crazy stuff. By all means let them compete in sports that do not require strength and/or speed. If I was a female athlete, I would be reaching for the testosterone to even things up a bit...

    from Twitter...

    I don't understand you, Joe Biden.

    You've been president for 6 hours, and not a single angry, misspelled tweet. You're not golfing, you haven't insulted anyone, and you don't even have COVID.

    Do you even president, bro?

    "Every person should be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear, no matter who they are or whom they love. Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, thelocker room, or school sports," reads the Executive Order.
    One of the orders, titled "Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation," has been advertised as providing workplace protections for gay and transgender individuals.
    Disgusting, isn't it

    Joe Biden has undone many of the changes made by Donald Trump in the Oval Office of t

    President Joe Biden-13083108-3x2-xlarge-jpg

    The Oval Office was hastily rearranged to Joe Biden's tastes after former president Donald Trump departed.(AP: Alex Brandon)

    All presidents switch up the decor in the Oval Office at the start of their terms to reflect their personality and taste, and to offer symbolic messages to the public.


    When Donald Trump entered the presidential office for the first time in 2017, his changes went further than most, including a button for the near-instant provision of Diet Coke.




    Reset of the refurb is HERE

    That coke button ...

    Oh Donald ... what a class act
    Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago ...

    Well....
    Appears that Old Joe is off to a good start with a seemingly positive direction/intentions in place. Hit the ground running, as the adage presents itself.
    Already correcting/revising a number of domestic and foreign policy items that his numb and disconnected predecessor found not befitting his personal fancy.

    .....and executive privilege/legislation package to [theoretically] right the ship of the broad COVID/economic mess - which is their top priority, presently - in words and actions.
    Can only be beneficial if his team receives non-partisan support from the always schizophrenic and self-interested mindset of Congress.

    At least on the surface, it's ok.
    We'll see where all this goes, as the U.S. is looming to be quite well in debt with all this spending of wealth that doesn't exist.

    Good luck, Old Joe.

    So you really think some silver spoon asshole who grew up with privilege is going to be bothered with using a minifridge? If you look at the article that Dave linked you can clearly see in one pic that there is a glass with ice full of diet coke. Those are tasks for butlers and servants.

    Who were never asked to do silly shit like this and so many other things. I bet most are more than happy on his departure. These are government jobs that most have held more than one presidency. A few might go back to Bush I would think, maybe even Clinton.
