Jen did use the brief in key areas. Her comments on Iran were read straight from the brief. Making sure the message delivered was accurate.

I didnt watch, did she at least sneer at the press that they were being "mean" and asking "nasty" questions?

how was the inauguration? presume trump didn't turn up. pence, regardless of what you think of his politics, is a principled man.

what's bussing? these 2 seem so opposed here in idealoy. i'm curios i must say.

AllForIt · 21-01-2021 2:23am

That Jen is very sharp, but it looks like a return to same old. A lot of fast talking there but not really saying anything at all. Impressive she can read her brief and pick the right section before the journo has even finished asking the question.

This, he repeated himself but was grand.

The man has had an incredibly long and stressful day - I've 45 years on him and my brain is wrecked after a day of zoom calls, forget about giving the most important speech of your life in front of hundreds of millions of people with the threat of assassination of you and your family hanging over your head.

At least he didn't forget to sign the order like Trump did that time when he spoke about it and then walked out the door.

OK, let's say we give him a pass today owing to it being such a long day for him....

Let's see how things unfold over the next few months when more unscripted and unprompted comments are required (unlike what he had to face during the campaign).

Unfortunately, imo, this is only going one way and it's not going to be pretty. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think I am. I'm glad Trump is gone but for me, trying to look at this objectively, this is not the same Biden that served as VP. I think anyone who thinks he's operating at the same cognitive capacity as he was even four years ago is not being honest with themselves.

He is on form sometimes but the voter thing I highlighted and people are jumping to defend shows him getting aggressive and riled up under pressure. Like if his son gets dinged for tax evasion he's going to be asked about that you can't fly off the handle.

He's obviously way better than trump who was continuously going off on people but I think after 4-6 months once the euphoria has worn off it will be interesting to see how he handles it.
My bet is he will stand down just before the mid terms elections

Won't be long until there's another Trump in the white house with these policies

What, enforcing anti-discrimination laws on the basis of sex?

The order is very straightforward and I don't see the problem. If you receive federal funding you are bound to adhere to anti-discrimination laws and regs. Section 1:

Every person should be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear, no matter who they are or whom they love. Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports. Adults should be able to earn a living and pursue a vocation knowing that they will not be fired, demoted, or mistreated because of whom they go home to or because how they dress does not conform to sex-based stereotypes. People should be able to access healthcare and secure a roof over their heads without being subjected to sex discrimination. All persons should receive equal treatment under the law, no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation.

These principles are reflected in the Constitution, which promises equal protection of the laws. These principles are also enshrined in our Nation’s anti-discrimination laws, among them Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.). In Bostock v. Clayton County, 590 U.S. ___ (2020), the Supreme Court held that Title VII’s prohibition on discrimination “because of . . . sex” covers discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation. Under Bostock‘s reasoning, laws that prohibit sex discrimination — including Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended (20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.), the Fair Housing Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq.), and section 412 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1522), along with their respective implementing regulations — prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation, so long as the laws do not contain sufficient indications to the contrary.

Discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation manifests differently for different individuals, and it often overlaps with other forms of prohibited discrimination, including discrimination on the basis of race or disability. For example, transgender Black Americans face unconscionably high levels of workplace discrimination, homelessness, and violence, including fatal violence.

It is the policy of my Administration to prevent and combat discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation, and to fully enforce Title VII and other laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation. It is also the policy of my Administration to address overlapping forms of discrimination.

Can't stand Kamala, mostly because she reminds me of a horrible person I worked with.

People are really quick to forget her own desperately underwhelming campaign to get the nomination.

I too like Biden, he has a tough job ahead

Ted is starting early trying to soak up Trump supporters for his next run.

I agree stupid tweet, but it's not just the Trumpers that will be driving around in the 9 mile a gallon Ford SUV's...

Plenty of Biden voters too are driving them, have you seen his "drive in" rallies ?

They're in the same "tier", politically - presidential hopefuls after 2024 who get a lot of air time. The bunfighting tends to go across the aisle like that. If she was to get into spats with the likes of Mike Pence while the democrats have the White House, then it gives the impression that she's trying to upstage the President or VP.

Graham's a weird one. I know we all THINK we know what it is, but that's considered such an open secret I find it honestly hard to believe it still has the leverage to make him drink this much dignity poison.
