Biden/Harris

Coronation day at last. 

15 executive actions planned for day one. Including halting wall construction, which in the end amounted to 15 miles of new wall. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-us-canada-46824649

Wonder how many hours it will take Biden to outstrip his predecessors efforts?

So looking forward to having a working administration in the White House.

The disillusioned part of me is thinking more, "lots of bombs still, but there's a BLM and Pride sticker on the tail wing."

The hopeful part of me is thinking, "One of the two parties incited enough violence that a representative sampling of 50% of their voters broke into their workplace to kill them, maybe now they'll think about socialized health care."

I'm going to bet on the former.

Well, Obama spent more on the military in his first term than Trump spent so I suppose we should expecting lots of bombs from Biden too. 

Sure was a decent speech he gave today. Fox's Chris Wallace called it the best inauguration speech he's ever heard.

Just Obama term 3...

nothing wrong with that....  Obama had to fix all of Bush's f&ck ups now Biden will be doing the same.

Lost me at revolutionizing campaigning , total crock of shit. He had rallies from one side of the country to the other. Lying and spewing bullshit all the way. It doesn’t get anymore old school than that.

Man that's a stupid essay.   Fits in on CounterPunch.

Well, what the essay points out is that Biden has a habit of bald face lying so I guess that's reassuring if only for the continuity, eh?

Yes he did, but nobody used social media, certainly not Biden, as trump did.

Stacey Abrams revolutionized campaigning, Trump just tweeted from the toilet. I really hope that combining propaganda with a campaign is not a revolution.

CP is so full of revisionist horseshit, and now that we are aware that you have been around since the Alamo I know you know better.  These progressive sites loves to make Biden into Jim Crow with the 1994 crime bill, but that is simply not the case.  You know this, and so does CP, but you keep on with the lie.  Not only was it supported by most blacks in 1994 because crack and crime were rampant, it also isn't the main cause of the current massive prison population which is almost entirely in state prisons. All if this is easy to prove, you just don't want to hear it.  

Representative James Clyburn of South Carolina, who as House majority whip is the highest-ranking black member of Congress, voted for the crime bill, and he made the same point in vivid terms. In his first congressional race, in 1992, Clyburn once explained to an audience in the historic black enclave of Atlantic Beach that he opposed mandatory minimum prison sentences, which would become a feature of the 1994 legislation. “Those people darn near lynched me in that meeting, and there wasn’t a single white person in the room,” Clyburn told me. “The atmosphere back then—the scourge of crack cocaine and what it was doing in these African American communities—they were all for getting this out of their community.”

How much of that was the 2 wars he inherited though?  War spending dropped considerably in his second term.  Either way they spend way too much on war.

+You're just wrong. Or willfully blind.

Biden worked tirelessly, over several decades, to make America’s (profoundly racist) criminal-justice system more punitive than any other advanced democracy’s.

And then there was the time he said was head-of-class-grad. Lie. And then the plagiarizing. Neil Kinnock for one. And in law school.

Day one and the scandals are already outpacing any president in history.
