a senior-level official confirms that "Joe always seems to sit by the window and asks for it to be cracked a little - or a lot"

White House pool report says Biden will stay in the vacation home of David Rubenstein, co-founder of the Carlyle Group, in Nantucket

— Jeff Stein (@JStein_WaPo) November 23, 2021

There once was a home in Nantucket

where the president stayed and I said, "Fuck it."

when he called for a vote

they thought he said scrote

Then he suddenly kicked the bucket?

Where the president felt a bit yuck, it
Felt a right undie-filler
But he noticed camilla
So he lifted his arse cheek and snuck it

So let me get this straight. Hunters laptop did reveal him trading on his name…But he did so to help his friend Tucker Carlson? You couldn’t make it up.

I tried to figure out the story behind that tweet, and it all seems so stupid, convoluted, and childish that I can't muster the effort (same with QAnon).

laptops you just don't care about

thanks joe https://t.co/bBz2uUiV1f

shout-out to the big guy at his vaccine press conference just now, asking us to have empathy for working-class families struggling on a household income of $120,000pa.

The wording here made me laugh:

https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/21/politics/biden-trump-covid-vaccine-booster/index.html

"...just the other day former President Trump announced he had gotten his booster shot. It may be one of the few things he and I agree on."

We agree that he got his booster shot.

Joe Biden, 15/10/2020:

We're eight months into this pandemic, and Donald Trump still doesn't have a plan to get this virus under control.

I do.

Joe Biden, 22/12/21:

"Nothing's been good enough. I don't think it's a failure. I think it's -- you could argue that we should have known a year ago, six months ago, two months ago, a month ago. ... I wish I had thought about ordering half a million (tests) two months ago, before Covid hit here."

Joe Biden, 27/12/21:

"There is no federal solution, this gets solved at state level ... and that ultimately gets down to where the rubber meets the road, and that's where the patient is in need of help -- or preventing the need for help. My message to the governors is simple: if you need something, say something."

Biden was scheduled to depart later in the afternoon for a holiday stay at his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

Has he considered an executive order to make COVID illegal? That would put us in line with the rest of the world, which has definitely curtailed COVID.

Based on the structure of federal power to compel states under existing law and the refusal of many states to accept or follow federal guidance, Biden's probably correct in stating that "there is no federal solution" apart from imposing a state of emergency/martial law and calling out US armed forces to enforce it. In the current poisoned political atmosphere that would not 'solve' covid so much as spark off more armed insurrection and bloodshed and come that much closer to destroying whatever comity still exists in the USA.

Was that his plan?

if a majority of governors neither follow nor cooperate with his plans, but instead do whatever they damn well please, and a large number of people who live in states that have cooperative governors also refuse to comply, then how much does it matter what his plan is?

Why bother saying you have a plan, then?

if you're really so interested in getting to the bottom of what his plan was, I bet the details of his plan were made public during the 2020 campaign, probably as a white paper posted on his web site. chances are good you could unearth those details with a bit of research. we all know the web is a great resource for doing research. then you can judge whether it was a good plan or not and how much he was able to do, how much he failed to do and how much of his failure was due to circumstances outside his control.

or you could just do what you always do.

I read it in October 2020 - is that what I always do?

(may have been November - I welcome the rigorous fact-checking that you endorse above)

He only said he had a plan. It’s like having an exercise machine—doesn’t mean you do anything with it.

Maybe the spread of the new variants caught the administration off guard

I guess 'fuck it, you don't care - go ahead and get sick, I don't give a shit but you better make your student loan/car payment/credit card payments' is a plan of some measure.

I recall hearing a plan long ago. the next phase is Covid goes to Jupiter to get more stupider.

The plan was summed up by Jello Biafra long ago in the song "Kill the Poor," don't ya know.

there is a plan to get the left revved up before the midterms

National pot legalization?

that would be dope

plz

why would he legalize something that's already been done in half the country, is inevitable, and is just fine unless you're that all up in arms about having to smell pot smoke like 4 times a year on a street you've never been on?

no, it's better to just steer the country back to 2006 and pretend nothing happened

off topic but squares who oppose weed legalization because of the smells are the most square rectangles in a quadrangle i've ever fucking heard of, go smoke a blunt and get a lil' bendy ya fukken squares

it smells bad so teenagers should go to prison!!!!!!! RGB is a fukken legend, let's go to the mural store and buy a fukken RGB mural poster

cos that's her name, RGB, Ruth Gator Binsburg

that's what my daughter calls her. We have some books about her. Last time we were picking out some bedtime reading my wife suggested one (we just list all the books till she says ok) and Opal said "I know all about Ruth Gader Binsburg" and now that's a recurring joke. I read one of them the other night and ends with a very unfortunate page saying like "Some people think Ruth should resign, but she's going to keep on fighting!" or whatever. I had to close the book and say "actually...."

yup.
I think it was this one: https://kidsbooks.com/Store/Details/9781481465595B?source=ppc&ppc_campaign=g10013861003&gclid=CjwKCAiAiKuOBhBQEiwAId_sK9Pg3rsCQCUiNaQ48lwB2muxg8B4CMGqB5BEK3qxYq_v-ZrfyPA-rBoCPyMQAvD_BwE

looool, that is awesome :)

Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has spent a lifetime disagreeing with people who said she should retire before something really bad happens

Maybe the spread of the new variants caught the administration off guard

I am the president-elect, but will not be president until next year. COVID-19 does not respect dates on the calendar, it is accelerating right now. Urgent action is needed today, now, by the current administration.

I used to say we’re rushing to the same cliff, there’s just two options in terms of speed.

p sure both vehicles are going the exact same speed now; option one is a Subaru and the other is 70k truck w a blue lives punisher sticker and nuts hanging from the hitch

that was during a winter surge and wasn’t an incredibly contagious variant, i’m sure you’ll argue this point and i’ll be wrong somehow

the plan was afaict a total abstraction to get votes but if there was a plan it was vaccine distribution which happened on an earlier timetable than the trump admin was capable of, i think, that’s also just a thought experiment. vaccine disparity between us and world still unforgivable ofc

“keep the economy humming even or especially if it costs lives” is such a deeply embedded cultural value idk if we’ll ever see the other side of it
