I'm so glad Biden is out there touting his agenda. The Technology Initiatives by Biden, you've listed, seem to be taking hold. We are moving forward while the maga people are just stirring up more $#!t to feed to their hungry base.

I am so glad Biden is going “Jean-Luc Picard” and not accepting an outcome that has not happened yet. Apologies to those who don’t get the reference. Watch the season 2 finale of Star Trek Picard. However for those who don’t have Paramount +, it involves fighting to the end. Something I wished Democrats would have done in 2010. They had significant accomplishments to tout at the time. If they would have fought to the end, the time between 2010 and 2022 would have been quite different. They accepted a “shellacking” was coming and did little to dissolve it.
The ‘shellacking’ was inevitable. Obama was trying to get bipartisan anything done and pulling the sides together was a huge goal. He did get Affordable Care Act passed, a miracle all on its own. The scuttled immigration legislation and so much more taught the Democrats how the Republican goal was to prevent any legislation getting passed, regardless of its benefit to the country. President Biden saw all this up close and personal. Fool me once!
And the ACA would not have happened if Nancy Pelosi had not convinced Obama (still naive about Republican politicians' obstructionist goals) that the Rs would not work with him and therefore the need to pass the ACA anyway, to abandon the hope of bipartisan support. It wasn't going to happen. Obama has acknowledged her major role in persuading him and getting it passed.
As Ari Melber pointed out last evening on MSNBC: racism is and has been the glue for the GOP. The JayZ poem was multi-layered and a 1619 on its own. I hope someone sends it to DeSantis with Ari Melber’s explication.
Whenever anyone insults Nancy Pelosi, I imagine all over again what it must have been for her to get that bill passed. And how Hillary Clinton tried and failed. When Obama is blamed for anything he didn’t do, I think of Mitch McConnell’s dinner meeting the night of Obama’s inauguration when he got Republican senators together to destroy a black man’s presidency.
Now I wonder if we can get enough Democrats elected to get corporate taxes back to reasonable, unions strengthened, universal service to America restored in some form(s), public transportation popularized to help the war on climate change, public schools funded by tax payers, teachers decently paid and appreciated, etc., etc. In short, can we get our democracy back or will machines, corporate greed unchecked by SCOTUS, and fear of the future destroy US?
I remember John Boehnor , when elected Speaker, with tears in his eyes, declaring something to the effect that his one purpose in life is to make Barak Obama a one term president. This was followed without any logistical or rational reason that I can remember so I just thought of the obvious ?
Thanks for writing just what I was thinking! Pelosi continues to be the critical operative for the Party, look what she did with the Jan 6 investigation!
Pelosi is an old hand and is not naive at all about how Rs operate. I am glad Obama took her advice. It is clear that Rs have not been reasonable people for a long time and certainly do not merit the label of patriots. So many of them have ignored the oath they took to the Constitution. I know how they are and yet I am sometimes amazed at what comes out of their mouths. Just read a NYT article which says some of the docs were found in death star's desk. Probably for study as to which ones would gain him the most money.
Yeah, I think President Obama had a bit of naivete. He figured 'I'm smart so I'll show these folks a logical argument and they'll be glad to back it.' It took him a while but he finally saw what he was dealing with and Joe saw it also.
The immigration legislation deserved to be scuttled. It would have more than doubled legal immigration, to the equivalent of one and a half New York States per decade, if I remember correctly, without doing a thing to stop illegal immigration, despite the fact that E-Verify was already being used by hundreds of thousands of companies. Between that, and O's efforts towards DAPA, I predicted we'd lose the Senate in the midterms, as we did. Not to mention losing the presidency to the former guy, who ran on immigration as his signature issue.
The Affordable Care Act, as you say, was a miracle, and probably improved millions of lives.
Another blog had a comment from someone who has worked in the field and stated that photos are taken first before handling any evidence. The ruler being an addition to the "crime" scene. They want to be able to present the evidence in court as it was found.
It looks like an FBI agent put documents from that box on the floor to photograph them as part of documenting the search. That’s why some docs have protective blank cover sheets. Trump apparently had these government secrets mixed in with his souvenir magazine covers.

DeSantis should always be asked if he is a born bigot or if it's a life style choice.

Plus the original Patriots wore blue.
I've read that Pelosi helped Obama , a great deal, with ACA. That Pelosi is an awe inspiring woman.
Pelosi is a truly great politician.
He had to compromise a lot to get the votes of Joe Lieberman's and the blue dog democrats. Lieberman was just a tool for the insurance companies.
Wow !

Especially at the time Democrats had decent majorities. Imagine what Biden could do with 2010 Majorities

They were buried in bull Schitt.
We couldn't afford it then and we def can't afford it now !
I assume the documents are spread out like that to be photographed for forensic purposes, and to chase away roaches drawn to McDonald's residue.
I came across thinking they were spread that way when they found them.
Anyone know for sure??
Another blog had a comment from someone who has worked in the field and stated that photos are taken first before handling any evidence. The ruler being an addition to the "crime" scene. They want to be able to present the evidence in court as it was found.
I found that photo chilling.
And splattered ketchup on the walls....
Hmmm. Was there any ketchup on the docs???
only if it was in WH... never at his precious MaL
Is Mal short for malignant??
Actually it's MaL-Mar-a-Lago.
Yes, that works too,
From when he got testy.
LOL!
NYT reported that three of the classified docs were found in desks in his office. Belies the narrative of passivity.
Top drawer, yes. Unbelievable. What, so he could look at them every day? I’m sure that’s why. Sicko.
It looks like an FBI agent put documents from that box on the floor to photograph them as part of documenting the search. That’s why some docs have protective blank cover sheets. Trump apparently had these government secrets mixed in with his souvenir magazine covers.
Right.
Jared can read.
Therein lies the depth of my worries about those docs. And his 2 billion dollar "investment" from the Saudis deepens it further.
Somebody had to help Trump pick out which documents to steal. Jared would be a good bet, along with Steve Bannon and Roger Stone, among others.
Yup.
