It took me a minute to even remember Laura Bush's first name. That's how unremarkable her 8 years were.

I think she redecorated a wing of the White House at some point?

This has been Biden's whole shtick, like, forever. During the Obama years his thing was that once the Tea Party stuff died down that Republicans would be able to start working with Obama and things would get done. For the past couple years his thing has been that it's all Trump's fault and that once Trump is gone that Republicans will settle down and be willing to work with Democrats again to get things done. He honestly believes that the Republican party is just a few steps from going back to the "good old days" of the 80s/90s where you could be a smart centrist and everybody got along even if they disagreed.

Biden talked about how unemployed miners and coal workers who have lost their jobs in recent years can find “jobs of the future” if they “learn to program.” Referencing his role in a Barack Obama-era programming skills initiative in schools, Biden commented that “Anybody who can go down 3000 feet in a mine can sure as hell learn to program as well... Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program, for God’s sake!”

Quote

JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (KSNT) – In a joint press conference with McDonald’s Monday night, the Herington Police Chief said the coffee cup incident was a hoax.

Chief Brian Hornaday said McDonald’s didn’t have anything to do with writing obscenities on an officer’s coffee, and that it was “fabricated by a police officer no longer employed with the agency.”

“Now, this is absolutely a black eye on law enforcement,” Hornaday said.

The officer, who won’t be identified since it is a “personnel matter,” told the chief it was meant to be a joke. Hornaday said the officer was with the department for two months.

Two months on the job, decide to do a Jessie Smollet.

I'm not against U.B.I. (in fact, I'm all for it), but Yang has no solution for ANYTHING beyond "lol I'll give you $1,000 to fuck off while I do nothing about it lol." It's infuriating as someone that wants U.B.I. to be implemented but implemented well.
