Stand-by Texas, help is on the way.
Joe was snowed in at the Whitehouse.
Called a lid on the press this morning but he did send you 60 generators.

“Specifically, in Texas [FEMA] has made 60 generators and fuel available to support critical sites like hospitals and water facilities,” Sherwood-Randall said during the White House press briefing, even as she acknowledged that 600,000 people in the state of Texas remain without power.



“We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this. We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics,”
Pres. Select, Joe Biden

For those with African heritage who feel they have been wronged here in America, what if the US paid the costs for all such to go back to their roots in Africa?

Yes, and that’s why I’m for every goddamn Democrat to be the ones on the hook for reparations, and not a single Republican.

One story. Two different ways of covering it.

I heard that Biden is walking back a statement he made saying:
quote:

I point out to him [Chinese President Xi Jinping] no American president can be sustained as a president, if he doesn’t reflect the values of the United States,” the US president continued. “And so the idea that I am not going to speak out against what he’s doing in Hong Kong, what he’s doing with the Uighurs in western mountains of China and Taiwan — trying to end the one China policy by making it forceful … [Xi] gets it.”

“Culturally there are different norms that each country and their leaders are expected to follow,” he continued.


The “norms” in China, as shown in a recent BBC News exposé, include systemic torture and rape occurring in Uighur concentration camps.

NY Post
There are a handful of news outlets highlighting Biden’s defense of China’s persecution of the Uighurs as “cultural norms.”

Most of the usual suspects are running a headline something like this:
quote:
US President Joe Biden says China will face repercussions on human rights abuses
This one from ABC, similar headlines from Reuters, NBC, US News, etc. etc. NONE even mention the “cultural norms” statement.

If you do a search using words like “Biden, China, Muslim (the Uighurs are Muslim), you’ll note the two approaches.

^^ Actually, I think I saw the same AP article online. IIRC, Macron and Merkel are willing to let Biden talk, but they're holding out to see what they can get and not particularly interested in making concessions in return.

I think obiden 'identifies' himself as something other than a corrupt, confused, old white male career politician. Everything that comes out of his mouth has to do with minorities rights being more important than anyone else's.

Interesting rumblings about what might be going through Uncah Joe's head these days - with, of course, "might" being the operative word. Is it a strategy, is he spending most of every day drooling and staring at the wall, is he scared spitless because he knows he's the beneficiary of what half or more of the country is absolutely certain was a brazenly stolen election? Whatever may be the case, Biden's signalling an awfully hesitant approach to exercising power at present. Interestingly enough, though, he's going to push for a massive infrastructure plan - which is arguably needed, of course, but also bound to be a fountain of cash for his cronies among the unions, local politicians and rich white contractors absent major oversight and discipline. IOW, the old white guys are gonna get paid first!

Biden's First Month Was A 'Honeymoon', But Bigger Challenges Loom Ahead
Trevor Hunnicutt, Reuters, 2/21/21

One month into the job, President Joe Biden is on the cusp of securing a bigger economic rescue package than during the 2009 financial crisis. He has wiped out his predecessor Donald Trump's policies from climate change to travel bans, while the U.S. daily COVID-19 vaccine distribution rate grew 55%. That may have been the easy part.

The White House's broad strategy - avoid unwinnable political fights, focus on policies with mass voter appeal, and mostly ignore Republican attacks - will be increasingly difficult in the months ahead, Democrats and Republicans say, even as millions more are vaccinated and the economy rebounds. "They've got some problems right around the corner," said Jim Manley, once a top aide to former Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Biden has made many of the changes he has clear authority to do by executive action. Landmines going forward include pushing laws on which the Democratic Party is divided, such as college debt relief, tax hikes and curbs on the energy industry. Then there are the intractable policy fights that have defined American politics for a generation, including who can become a citizen, how easy it should be to vote, whether the government should pay for healthcare, and who should carry a gun. Meanwhile, many tricky issues, from trade tariffs to China policy to tech oversight, are still under review at the White House.

Democrats are working to pass their economic stimulus package with or without Republican support before a critical mid-March deadline when expanded unemployment insurance expires. The bill only needs a majority vote, because it will be passed as part of a process called reconciliation, but that requires every Democrat to side with the White House. Doubts are growing that the bill will include a provision raising the federal minimum wage to $15, which would sorely disappoint liberal Democrats. "I've been shocked at how disciplined the Left has been; I'm not sure how much that's going to last," Manley said. "I can see there's some fissures developing."

Those cracks were on display when some Democrats, including Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, criticized Biden after he said told (sic; this article was obviously a little rushed and had two crappy editors - IC) a Feb. 16 CNN town hall he disagrees with members of his party who want to forgive $50,000 in student debt. A comprehensive White House-backed immigration bill unveiled on Feb. 18 is not expected to pass the Senate; the second-ranked Democrat, Dick Durbin, is among those suggesting a less-ambitious effort that focuses on immigrants brought to the United States as children.

Republicans are reshuffling after the Trump years, said Paul Shumaker, a Republican strategist behind Senator Thom Tillis' hard-fought re-election in North Carolina. Biden could unite them by overreaching on taxes and spending, he noted, while doing too little on these issues will disappoint some of his Democratic base. "He's enjoying a honeymoon period, but everyone knows that honeymoon's going to come to an end," Shumaker said.

White House aides say the policy agenda they plan to push in the coming months has bipartisan voter appeal, and they believe Republicans in Congress could ultimately be forced to support it by their constituents. "Is he going to be focused on winning every last Republican over? No, of course not," said White House communications director Kate Bedingfield, a longtime Biden confidant. "But is he going to reach out and speak to people on both sides of the aisle - is he going to work to put forward plans that meets (sic - IC) the needs of people of both parties - yes, he absolutely is."

Biden's early polling numbers suggest that will be a challenge. Some 56% of Americans approve of his performance as president, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted in mid-February, but just 20% of Republicans. The White House's bipartisan hopes lie in an infrastructure plan, still in the embryonic stages of development, that is expected to exceed the scale, scope and price tag of the roughly $1.9 trillion stimulus bill. The measure is almost certainly going to both expand the deficit and require some tax increases, measures expected to spur opposition. It is likely to be peppered with measures on climate change, and could also include Biden's proposed subsidies for college, according to several people briefed on early conversations.

Putting the pieces together will be tough without a full senior staff, including Biden's pick for budget director, Neera Tanden, whose confirmation has run into Democratic opposition from Senator Joe Manchin, who also opposed including the minimum wage in the stimulus bill. Nonetheless, the Left's expectations for Biden remain high. "The administration came out bold and strong," said Luis Hernandez, a youth gun violence prevention activist who met with senior administration officials last week. "There's much more to be done."

Merrick Garland (nominee for AG) tells senators:

Portland Riots May Not Be ‘Domestic Terrorism’ Because Courthouse Was Closed

Judge Merrick Garland told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday that Antifa’s attacks on the U.S. courthouse in Portland last year may not have been “domestic terrorism,” because unlike the Capitol riot, they took place at night when the court was not “in operation.”

Garland:
"So an attack on a courthouse, while in operation, trying to prevent judges from actually deciding cases, that plainly is domestic extremism, domestic terrorism. An attack simply on a government property at night, or any other kind of circumstances, is a clear crime and a serious one, and should be punished. I don’t know enough about the facts of the example you’re talking about. But that’s where I draw the line. One is — both are criminal, but one is a core attack on our democratic institutions."

former AG Barr:

Behind the veil of “protests,” highly organized violent operators have carried out direct attacks on federal personnel and property, particularly the federal courthouse in Portland. Shielded by the crowds, which make it difficult for law enforcement to detect or reach them, violent opportunists in Portland have attacked the courthouse and federal officers with explosives, lasers, projectiles, and other dangerous devices. In some cases, purported “journalists” or “legal observers” have provided cover for the violent offenders; in others, individuals wearing supposed press badges have themselves attacked law enforcement or trespassed on federal property. More than 200 federal officers have been injured in Portland alone.

the statute does not confine acts of domestic terrorism to working hours.

xxxxxxxxxxxx

adding:

Garland:

"I think the first thing I should do as part of my briefings on the Capitol Bombing are briefings with Director Wray as to where he sees the biggest threat.."

So would a closed school not be firearms prohibited or a closed church or synagogue being burned not a hate crime?

Didn't those assaulting the courthouse try to lock those inside and burn it down? Weren't there a number of or ongoing attacks on the courthouse?
