Unite the country, not the parties. The Republicans are too arrogant to even consider itself equal. They always want most of the pie.

My only criticism of Jen Psaki is that she needs to learn to slow down and take a breath when formulating her thoughts instead of using filler words. If I had to take a shot every time she said "um" I would end up in a hospital emergency department.

Uptalks. She goes up at the end of every statement, implying a need for permission and validation, neither of which she requires.

She is brilliant and doesn't need anyone's permission. She should get a box of periods and put them at the end of her sentences.

Where was his question when trump went all over the damn place for his rallies that were actual super spreaders and killed Herman Caine? Where was his question when Trump keeps denying science and refusing masks? Why is wrong w this Miller guy? He sounds too incompetent to be there at the WH.

.... it is almost like people coming after A.O.C. on twitter they are way out of their league.

About a week ago somebody asked her about what "markers" would President Biden put out
to show that he wanted to work with the other side? Besides Trump got 74 million votes.

Psaki: President Biden got 82 million votes and besides what does "a marker" even mean?

I like the confident and aggressive stance of the Biden team. Deliver for the American people all you can. Govern well, govern fairly, govern for all.

Let the voters decide in 2022 and 2024 what they want, the Trump way or the Biden way.

Has loosened up, knowing he can tell the truth and not having an ignorant fool inject something that is totally ludicrous. The change in him is amazing.

Dr. Birx is on vacation? She wanted to join the Biden team. Maybe they did not like her pretentious scarves?

Shows what a quick wit and sticking to reality can do for a press secretary!

Repugs need to get the message it's not their show any more. The rules have changed.

Repugs: Tag along or get left behind.

If you get left behind, you won't be able to claim you are helping righting the ship of State and your relevancy with voters will fade even further.
History, the dust bin thereof, the GOP - a perfect combination!

I guess 'getting with the program' is something Republicans have difficulty with, no that it's no longer their program.

I hope it hurts!
"It" being seeing your value system crumble, your inner dialog devalued, and that uneasy feeling the old way is no longer relevant or working, and you had better grow some new values if you want to keep breathing the political air.
