‘America Is Back’: Biden Highlights His Diverse Group Of Foreign Policy And Nat Sec Picks | Talking Points Memo

Yep, just give them permission to continue to ignore the constitution and the laws since nothing will ever happen. Ever let a 2 year old do what he wants?

Setting fires, gluing locks.

I believe what he said was he would leave the decision on investigations up to an independent DOJ. There’s already plenty of fun in store from other investigations.

Biden “won’t be prosecuting anyone” because that’s what an independent DOJ is mandated to do under our Constitution.

Anyway, shorter Biden: “Check it out: People who are good at their jobs will work for me. :wink:

Somewhere, someone is right now madly scrambling to find an old Obama-era PDB document template instead of the 5-slide-maximum PowerPoint one they have been using for the last four years…and just asked a WH IT worker if they have any backups from back then to pull from.

Someone is asking how many times “Biden” must be mentioned in the PDB.

The media are confused.

Where, I wondered, were the unqualified businessmen? The grifters with the FBI hot on their tails? The Twitter trolls? The fanatics? The sycophants? The relatives of the president? . . .The backstabbing, extremism and incompetence that were the hallmarks of the Trump administration appear likely to be replaced by professionalism, moderation and collegiality.

Joe Biden is MAGA again.

That’s because Biden will be PRESIDENT and presidents don’t prosecute people.

That’s why we have Federal Prosecutors working in the DOJ. THEY indict and prosecute people.

Civics Knowledge. What a concept…

I assume you’re alluding to the possibility that Biden will block or negotiate away certain investigations or prosecutions. He has said he will not, but I agree with you that the proof of that particular pudding will be in the eating. We shall see.

Like “Stop The Steal”, Biden/Harris could totally try and co-opt “Make America Great Again” - blue hats for everyone! Actual Accomplishments to point at!

I think it might be a hard sell though.

I wonder how surprised The Boston Globe folks are by the reactions to their article.

There’s a lot of folks in the replies who would like to both participate, and charge PPV for the opportunity.

Slightly OT but …

Major kudos for Biden & his messaging team. The most effective I’ve seen on the Dem side since … ever?

As you know, it’s the usual retrofit whitewash.

You-know-whose behavior was tone-deaf at best. To the extent it could have been defended effectively, it would have been, and it was not – but that’s all water under the bridge now.

 

And welcome.

I believe the Biden administration can walk and chew at same time. Hiring experts and professionals to man the various government departments is the hallmark of a good President. And if these folks find criminal and illegal acts perpetrated within those departments, they can refer these to the Departmental IGs and/or the USAG/DoJ.

That is why the country hired Biden-Harris… to get stuff done, not settle scores.

But, I believe karma will get Trump and his enablers one way or another, and that will simply play itself out for us to witness.

You’re probably right. But let’s not give up hope on that one until April or so.
