Really love that photo with the 17 EOs stacked up for Day 1.
I always thought that a good campaign slogan would have been “Snapback!” Even though nobody took me up on it, it’s even better that it’s a big part of what Biden’s doing.

There is a WORD that describes what is now happening, and it is something we have not heard for 4 long years: GOVERNING.
Biden has said it loud and clear: Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Way!
A new broom sweeps clean…
If I had a surprised face re:trump, I would show it to you.
Those indictments will happen, but i don’t expect to see them today. On federal charges, there are higher priorities right now with establishing a legitimate vaccination program across the entire country, stopping major environmental damages/climate actions, etc… Donnie’s day in the barrel will come in about a week, my guess.I am sure, though, that Letitia James has charges ready to go.
Gee, you mean Presidents actually work sometimes? I thought they just went golfing or Tweeted from the toilet all day. Well, cut off my legs and call me shorty!
Don’t forget Georgia. That call to Raffensperger was solicitation to commit election fraud. It wasn’t “Have another look and check your math again, Brad, because I’m a very successful bankrupt businessman and you’re just a lowly engineer.” No, it was “Find me the exact number of votes so that I win Georgia by 1 vote (did he think no one would find that suspicious?).” And it’s all on tape. If a candidate for local school board did that, they’d be in the pokey, so why not him?
I get that we don’t have an AG confirmed yet. That’s fine. But the other concerns about environment and the virus are not relevant to whether or not the DOJ and the State AG can move forward. These parties have nothing to do with the federal programs you’ve mentioned.
We need, as a nation, to prove we can again walk and chew gum at the same time. It’s the same argument that’s been put forward for the Senate trial: Legislation in the morning; trial in the afternoon. These folks know what they have to do. It’s a time management thing now.
I also loved this one:
He seems like a very happy old man looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see! pic.twitter.com/G8gObLhsz9

So they’re promising a phlebotomist in every Prime van?
Man, boring, run-of-the-mill competence in governing has never looked so incredibly good. I love it!
We’re in danger of having tumbleweeds blowing through TPM comment sections if this whole “competency” thing keeps up.
It was too early to credit Biden, but I got my vaccine on Inauguration Day. And how did that go? Well, it Depends. Including waiting in line, the process took 5 hours. At least it was drive through, and I did not have to risk getting COVID to get the vaccine.
Might as well give him credit for something good on his first day. You know the wingnuts will be blaming him for all the bad stuff that happened before his first day.
Now that is what responsible, competent government looks like.
NEVER GO BACK TO CORUPT, INCOMPETENT TRUMPIST GOVERNMENT!
Meh. The failure of Trump’s great covid plans was entirely due to Deep State employees at HHS who realized that getting a quick and effective vaccine and response to covid before election day would guarantee him a second term.
They regret the excess deaths, but saw that as an acceptable cost to get him out of office.
Mrs. Out just got her second dose on Monday (she’s a healthcare worker). The second one got her worse than the first, she ended up with what looked like a mild flu and stiff joints for about 36 hours. She felt right as rain yesterday morning though.
Now wait a doggone minute here.
Stop everything. Josh Hawley has questions. Can’t do anything because Josh Hawley has questions about every little thing the President wants to do. Lots of questions.
I don’t know. I think they can use the sleep themselves (and some fresh material).
Do get what you are saying. The absurdity level drop off is steep.
I have questions for Josh Hawley. Like: What are you still doing here? And why is anyone still listening to you?
The Post lead article on Biden cited the usual Republican bellyaching about energy/climate regulations costing jobs and this gem in particular:
“President Trump created the best economy in the world by limiting bureaucratic regulations, and President Biden should seek to build on this success instead of diminishing it,” said Rep. James Comer (Ky.), the ranking Republican on the House Oversight and Reform Committee. “Government does not know best, the American people do.”
Created the world’s best economy my ass. And the American people “knew best” to elect the guy who actually believes government should do something for, you know, the American people.
That’s the stuff we can complain about in the comments section, because it’s a gift the Pubs will always keep giving us.
