He is incredibly well-informed in both international and national affairs

And SO patient, on the whole.

I’m glad he’s showing some bluster back at the stupid questions. Some of these reporters should be embarrassed with what they’re asking. They’re not policy questions, just gotcha questions.

Plus we have the ones who ask a question just so they can get a sound bite on the evening news.

Joe should simply blame everything on the former fuckface and not answer these ridiculous time-wasting questions.

When that idiot stood up and asked him why he has been "trying so hard to move the country to the left," I almost threw something at the TV. This right after another journalist asked him why he hasn't tried harder on voting rights.

which is more about painting a false picture, e.g., at the end end he was asked about confusing guidelines on Covid and whether he would remove personnel...BS question. The reporters should be called out - That is a false question about a changing situation. We all do not know everything we will need to do when we wake up but figure it out during the day. Life s not perfect. Some of these so called journalists should be banned for asking stupid questions.

Mitch McConnell is the only one who actually is getting named, but he’ll say “5 Repubs” have buttonholed him to say sotto vocce how scared of Trump they still are, and “16 currently serving Senators used to vote for continuation if the Voting Rights Act,” and you know he know exactly who they are — and so do they.

Most law students pick up Latin by osmosis. The ones who don't have to take college level courses for it.

But don't forget he's also a Catholic and he's old enough to have gone to Catholic mass back when it was said in Latin. Maybe he was even an altar boy, but I'm not sure about that.

the left"?

I am not happy that he referenced Bernie Sanders, he should have asked the "reporter" to tell him "how am I taking the country to the left" and "what do you mean by 'the left'"...have the jackass answer those questions and don't give in by bashing Bernie Sanders who has been working so well to push Biden's agenda...

This may not make people happy, but that was a low point. I admit that I did not watch the entire press conference, I rather read the transcript later, I get nervous, I rather read later.

… about the entire globe and its interconnections. Hope he calls on Telemundo etc more. Whoever that journalist was asked an intelligent question and got an intelligent answer.
