I assume Trump is going to be excluded from these kinds of things going forward because he's a security threat and everyone hates him. What a legacy.

Seeing the Bidens lovingly hug each other is filling me with warm fuzzies. I forgot presidents did that.

I sure hope the Secret Service agents walking around "The Beast" have good base layers (aka thermal underwear). They are out there with overcoats unbuttoned. There's the same asian agent that I've seen at several events today.

No Gerard Butler though, he's got to be in the background watching and keeping the Prez safe. Enjoy those "XXX Has Fallen" movies.

Uh oh, the Bidens walking now. This must give the Secret Service some willies.

You are wrong. I don't care what you and the calendars say. 2020 was four years all by itself.

They don't want him there. And he'd never want to be at an event where he's just one of the ex-Presidents. It's a win-win.

What's funny is that this man has spent his whole life trying to be part of the exclusive clubs. And he had a chance to be part of one of the most exclusive clubs on Earth--the living ex-Presidents. And he ended up screwing himself out of it through sheer self-pity.

I think I was on MSNBC during that pic and commentator was saying how it wouldn't be unusual for current Presidents to reach out to former Presidents and get their thoughts.

I already knew this but when he said that, I pictured all 4 Prez sitting around a poker table (ala ST:NG) somewhere in the White House, smoking a cigar and talking about stuff.

Talking head somewhere said "looking forward to fact-based press briefings". Had to chuckle at that.

Yeah, I want the normal press briefings back.

I do think if Warren or Bernie was VP, it would have negatively impacted Biden.

My guess is Biden could have picked 2-3 others and it would have been the same results.


BTW - Bernie and Larry David are really related.

Quote:
Sanders is a "third cousin or something," David told reporters at a Television Critics Association event on Wednesday. The comedian, who impersonated the senator on "Saturday Night Live" during the 2016 election, said he learned about the genealogical connection while filming an upcoming episode of the PBS series "Finding Your Roots."

I'm going to guess the note was something like "if you read this note it constitutes a binding contract that I'm still president. No take backs."

New Biden press secretary Jen Psaki has now held more press conferences on her first day than Stephanie Grisham did in 8 months in the job from 2019-2020.

I disagree with Rand Paul. It's not thinly-vailed. He is what he is. I guess he didn't get the Trump memo that it's OK to be his true self now.
