    Funny thing is that Lisa show’s Biden driving away from the failed policies of Trump, leaving them in the rear view mirror. Freudian slip Lisa?

    Like everything else, the conservatives aren’t very good at humor. You ever see Trump actually laugh? All he can manage is a little smirk.

    At least they know how to do the job and won’t ask about Oreos when questioned about HUD https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ben-carson-oreo-at-hud-hearing-housing-secretary-ben-carson-confuses-real-estate-term-reo-with-oreo/ and they will bring dignity back to the office rather than ripping off for everything they can https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mnuchin-requested-military-aircraft-for-honeymoon/ or totally senseless “needs” https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/epa-scott-pruitt-expenses-controversy-1.4621694 or having aides help with the housework https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/19/us/politics/mike-susan-pompeo-inspector-general.html but thats okay because trumps says it is https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/trump-says-its-ok-for-government-workers-to-do-pompeos-household-chores-amid-claims-watchdog-was-fired-for-investigating-the-practice/

    So if you want failed policies, go towards Obama’s, then make a sharp turn to the right? Sounds like the last four years to me. . . .

    The Reich wing thinks that any policy which doesn’t screw over the average citizen has “failed”.

    Yeah, it would be so terrible for Biden to follow in Obama’s footsteps… Obama cleaned up “W” Bush’s mess, now Biden will have to clean up Trump’s mess…

    Obama’s retreads still better than Trump politics, Trump steaks, Trump water, Trump University…or Trump anything.

    It must really be driving people like Lisa nuts that Biden is putting in competent and intelligent Cabinet members. Those "failed"policies kept the US out of a second Great Depression, saved many industries, renewed alliances worldwide, and reversed a tanking stock market and bottomless deficits. I’ll trade that for whatever Trump gave us over his last four years.

    Of course Biden will use people he’s worked with before, and trusts, and who know how to hit the ground running. He has to, since Trump is sabotaging anything he can to make Biden’s job harder. If you had someone actively trying to sabotage everything you did, wouldn’t you surround yourself with people you trusted, and who already knew the job they needed to do, and were good at it? No? Seriously?

    This as opposed to the Trump presidency, where the wheels literally fell off? 279,153 deaths from Covid 19 and you want to talk about ‘failed policies’? Come on Lisa, McConnell wouldn’t even accede to the dear leader’s final stimulus suggestions. Or could your statement be suggesting that the wealthy (who were given generous tax cuts), don’t require retreads? Wean yourself off the Kool-Aid.

    Obama’s policies pulled us out of the Bush depression and crisis and had solid job and economy growth for years. And he had a Pandemic team that would have found and helped stop Covid19 if dumpy hadn’t disbanded it and pulled scientists out of China. So I am good with Biden.

    The projecting trumpcultists think that the economy was in better shape at the beginning of 2009, compared to 2016. They think the economy didn’t take off until 2017. When in truth, it got better through all of Obama’s 8 years. It kept getting better with tiny riding Obama’s coat tails, until tiny messed up the pandemic response.

    And what do you call the last four years? Some clown with a megaphone followed by a bunch of spineless toadies out for whatever they can do to make themselves and their cronies richer supported by a base that makes sheep look independent.

    My favorite testimony on voter fraud in Georgia is from the Army 305th Intel Unit. Case 2:20-cv-13134-LVP-RSW ECF No. 1-15, PageID.633 Filed 11/25/20. Dominion was caught selling a bunch of their patents to China in 2019. China, Iran and Indivisible (formerly Acorn) with ties to Obama had internet access to their systems during the 2020 election tabulation. They were caught in real time hacking the election!

    If Biden’s upper-echelon staff picks were political hacks on the order of the Trump-GOP Leadershit mob, I could understand Ms Benson’s dismissive cartoon, but that’s not the case. From what I can tell, Biden’s picks are experienced, tried and true professionals. They’re not “retreads”; they’re knowledgeable about what’s needed, i.e., what a government SHOULD BE ABOUT VIS–À–VIS the health, safety, and well-being of its citizens. I don’t get a whiff of the grift or rapacity or predation or malevolence or misfeasance or malfeasance or nonfeasance or greed or opportunism or mendacity or venality or corruption or arrogance or narcissism or psychopathy or Machiavellianism—just “how can I be a part of fixing what has been sledge-hammered relentlessly for the past 48 months?” I don’t suspect that Biden’s staffers will fall over themselves trying to INCREASE the number of daily Covid-19 infections and deaths; indeed, I think their collective goal will be a REDUCTION of those pathetic and disgraceful achievements. I don’t think Biden’s staffers will connive or collude with any foreign power to hoodwink a dim-witted, ignorant, and gullible electorate; indeed, my guess is that they will try to—wait for it—educate the electorate so that they can revive their intelligence, grasp and appreciate FACTS, and be wary of snake-oil sales staff. I don’t think Biden’s staffers’ long-term goal is to exceed the number of indictments, pleas, convictions, fines, or months sentenced to serve in prison that the Trump-GOP Leadershit will have established over the next two-four years to no one’s astonishment. In short, whatever Ms Benson’s misgivings about Biden’s staff picks, so far she’s prejudged them based on her understandably angering experiences with the Trump-GOP Leadershit sycophants, toadies, suck-ups, flunkies, lickspittles, parasites, lapdogs, lackeys, spongers, and henchmen/-women. Ms Benson needs a cold shower, a dose of salts, and an intervention.
