Slightly different from Trump’s schedule.

Can you spot the differences?

 

 

Bottom one is what a functional adult President's work schedule looks like.  Top one is what a bullshit con artist and all around fuck stick's work schedule looks like.

More good news

Quote

The Biden administration will resume efforts to redesign the $20 bill to feature abolitionist Harriet Tubman, the White House said Monday.

Press secretary Jen Psaki said it's important that "our money ... reflect the history and diversity of our country, and Harriet Tubman's image gracing the new $20 note would certainly reflect that. So we're exploring ways to speed up that effort."

In April 2016, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew announced that Tubman's portrait would be on a redesigned $20 note, to be unveiled in 2020. The image of President Andrew Jackson, a slaveholder, would be moved to the bill's reverse side.

Before his election, Donald Trump, a fan of Andrew Jackson, disparaged the change in the currency as "pure political correctness" and suggested Tubman be put on the $2 bill instead.

Awaiting the blowup from Asshole Fuck Face of America and his groupies to this news like....

If it was up to me I'd want Andrew Jackson on the 1 cent coin instead of the reverse of the $20.  If it wasn't so soon I'd say put President Obama on the reverse and let the fireworks from the reich commence.

I don't want to see Jackson on anything, other than a dart board.

I'd rather keep Lincoln on the cent.  Put Eleanor Roosevelt on the  $20 reverse.

The White House has life in it again

Quote

The new President and first lady settled in at the White House this weekend, and did so with extended Biden family members.

"The residence has life in it again," a White House source told CNN of the energy inside. "It's the honeymoon period where everything feels new."

There were nighttime movie binges in the White House movie theater, complete with snacks from the White House kitchen cooks, many of the Bidens' five older grandchildren piling into the seats to watch, said another source familiar with the activities. The increased activity was met with pandemic precautions, including mask wearing.

On Sunday, the first dogs arrived from Delaware, where they had been waiting until things were unpacked and settled enough to allow a comfortable entry for the two German Shepherds at their new pad.

I bet the residence staff is so relieved that the previous fetid swamp creature, spouse, and spawn have all exited stage reich and there are decent normal people in there again.

What’s this? How strange!  A tweet from the president that is legible, has no spelling or grammatical mistakes, no random capitalizations and no insults and accusations.

"Biden to tap nurse as acting surgeon general"

Quote

The Biden administration has selected nurse Susan Orsega to serve as the nation’s acting surgeon general, said two people with knowledge of her selection who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the announcement.

Orsega, a career-commissioned officer in the U.S. Public Health Service corps and a longtime infectious-disease specialist, would be among the first nurses to serve in the role of surgeon general, which is often referred to as “the nation’s doctor.” The announcement of Orsega’s selection could come as soon as Tuesday, one of the people said.

Surgeon General Jerome Adams, a Trump appointee, resigned last week at Biden’s request, and Deputy Surgeon General Erica Schwartz, a career official, chose to retire after being passed over as acting surgeon general.

Frequently viewed as the nation’s spokesperson on public health matters, the surgeon general oversees the U.S. Public Health Service, more than 6,000 uniformed public health personnel who work in various parts of the federal government, but has limited ability to make policy. In her current role, Orsega oversees the corps’s personnel, operations and readiness.

Orsega did not immediately respond to request for comment. A spokesperson for the Health and Human Services Department declined to confirm that Orsega had been selected as acting surgeon general but said the department is expecting an announcement as soon as Tuesday.

Biden has nominated Vivek H. Murthy, a close adviser who served as surgeon general in the Obama administration, to return to his previous role as the nation’s top doctor. However, Murthy’s confirmation hearings have yet to be scheduled, said an aide with the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee.

“The committee is ready to go with an aggressive scheduling of hearings once we organize, with nominations being a top priority,” committee spokesperson Madeleine Russak said.

Orsega is not the first nurse to serve as surgeon general. Former president Donald Trump in 2017 tapped nurse Sylvia Trent-Adams to serve as acting surgeon general after abruptly firing Murthy. Richard Carmona, who served in the Bush administration, was a physician as well as a nurse.

An adult as Secretary of State 

Quote

The Senate on Tuesday confirmed Antony Blinken as America’s top diplomat, tasked with carrying out President Joe Biden’s commitment to reverse the Trump administration’s “America First” doctrine that weakened international alliances.

Senators voted 78-22 to approve Blinken, a longtime Biden confidant, as the nation’s 71st secretary of state, succeeding Mike Pompeo. The position is the most senior Cabinet position, with the secretary fourth in the line of presidential succession.

Blinken, 58, served as deputy secretary of state and deputy national security adviser during the Obama administration. He has pledged to be a leading force in the administration’s bid to reframe the U.S. relationship with the rest of the world after four years in which President Donald Trump questioned longtime alliances. He is expected to start work on Wednesday after being sworn in, according to State Department officials.

I’m glad he’s rescinded the policy. But, has he freed the kids currently being held in cages yet?

I know this is fast becoming a pet peeve of mine. But for Rufus’ sake! We are talking about little children and toddlers here, forcibly separated from their parents and kept prisoner in appalling conditions that are worse that that of criminals. They should have been set free* on day one of this presidency. 

For the life of me, I don’t understand why there is so little outrage about this.
 

* I realize they can’t all be reunited with their parents immediately, but at the very least they should be placed in a safe and caring environment instead of holding them in their current inhuman conditions.

I wonder how many people see that name and immediately think of Robin Hood's family servant in Mel Books Robin Hood Men in Tights. They use a similar joke instead of A. Blinken Achoo says Hey Blinkin and Blinkin immediately asks if he said Abe Lincoln.

I'm right there with you. So many of these families will be traumatized by the separation for the rest of their lives. I can only imagine the attachment traumas so many of the kids have now. Many won't even recognize their own families when they're reunited!!
