Biden's Incoming Administration - as it develops So it looks like Biden is starting to name his Administration officials. I don't know the names announced per se but from what I'm reading it sounds pretty promising. They'll have to confirmed by the Senate but fingers crossed this won't be a long drawn out process.

lol what do you expect? remember when barack swore he would not hire any lobbyist... but then he did. And then he decided to just barge into the white house press offices...unannounced and uninvited and when a member of the media dared to question the KING about his lie, barack assaulted him!? “You can’t do it by executive order, unless you’re a dictator,” |

just because you agree with his acts doesn't mean he is not a tyrant. i think you approve of the use of violence to stop someone you do not like from being heard. *Milo at Berkeley when Anifa used violence to the point where is appearance was canceled “You can’t do it by executive order, unless you’re a dictator,” |

I'm looking forward to good, decent people returning to the WH who are there to serve others. The impressive part is that they are also qualified for these positions which is how it should be. You shouldn't have a job in any Govt just because the boss thinks you "like" him. [Edited 11/23/20 10:00am] |

Biden’s pick for DHS
https://www.buzzfeednews....s-dhs-pick Biden Has Picked A Cuban Immigrant And Former Obama-Era Official To Lead DHS “President-elect Joe Biden has picked Alejandro Mayorkas, a former top Obama administration official, to run the Department of Homeland Security, which would make him the first Latino and immigrant to serve in the role. Mayorkas, who was born in Havana, Cuba, and became a US citizen in 1973, served as the director of the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and deputy secretary of DHS during the Obama administration. The 60-year-old led USCIS in 2012 when the agency rolled out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy, which sought to protect undocumented immigrants brought to the country at a young age from deportation. Biden has promised to restore those protections. “We have no time to lose when it comes to our national security and foreign policy,” Biden said in a statement that announced the selection of Mayorkas and others in top roles. “I need a team ready on Day One to help me reclaim America’s seat at the head of the table, rally the world to meet the biggest challenges we face, and advance our security, prosperity, and values. This is the crux of that team.” [Edited 11/23/20 11:21am] PRESIDENT BIDEN, VICE-PRESIDENT HARRIS | |

More to Biden’s list:
https://www.google.com/am...html%3famp Biden names veteran diplomat Linda Thomas-Greenfield as UN ambassador “President-elect Joe Biden has named Linda Thomas-Greenfield as his pick to be the US ambassador to the United Nations. The announcement came with a number of other nominations to key cabinet posts with an aim of restoring “respected American leadership abroad and dignified leadership at him”, while also fulfilling a commitment to a more diverse cabinet. The veteran diplomat has a foreign service career dating back to the Reagan administration and has served as ambassador to Liberia from 2008 to 2012, as well as postings in Switzerland, Pakistan, Kenya, The Gambia, Nigeria and Jamaica.

After being let go from her role in the early days of the Trump administration, Ms Thomas-Greenfield became a senior vice president at Albright Stonebridge Group, leading the Africa practice.

https://www.nbcnews.com/p...e-n1248626 Biden picks Avril Haines as director of national intelligence “Having served Obama as a national security lawyer and deputy CIA director, Haines has been playing a key” Nov. 23, 2020, 12:30 PM EST By Ken Dilanian and Geoff Bennett WASHINGTON — Joe Biden has selected Avril Haines, who held top national security jobs under President Obama, to become director of national intelligence in the Biden administration. Having served Obama as a national security lawyer and deputy CIA director, Haines, 51, has been playing a key national security role in the Biden transition. She will become the first woman in the DNI job, which was created after the 9-11 attacks to better coordinate the sprawling American intelligence bureaucracy. Among other things, the DNI oversees the presidential intelligence briefing process. But the DNI does not run covert operations ordered by the president — the CIA director retains that power.

Another add to President-elect Biden’s administration: https://www.wsj.com/artic...1606161637 Janet Yellen Is Biden’s Pick for Treasury Secretary Former Fed chief, if confirmed by Senate, would be first woman to hold job By Nick Timiraos , Kate Davidson and Ken Thomas Updated Nov. 23, 2020 3:53 pm ET President-elect Joe Biden plans to nominate former Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen, an economist at the forefront of policy-making for three decades, to become the next Treasury secretary, according to people familiar with the decision.

Remember when Trump was banging about Obama's birth certificate? And then he had that press conference where he said something like "I acknowledge that President Obama was boarn in America. I started this foilks and now I'm ending it." Remeber that?
He's now doing it here. He's trying to save face by tweeting he didn't want this GSA woman to have any more threats or whatever. Like he's now the good guy in all this. BTW, she said she hasn't had any WH influence to deny or issue the acertainment. But he just tweeted that he instructed her.

It was expected that Obama's record would be beat. Every election the voter count gets higher. The thing about past elections is that voter turnout has been low or at least average. Voters on both sides were definitely energised for the 2020 election
At least Obama wasn't a one term president |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
and so yes, Obama's record would get beaten. Some day, maybe at the next election, Biden's will fall. But Trump beating Obama's vote number is not exactly something to get excited about when it was expected.2elijah said: SoulAlive said: he’s creating an administration that actually looks likes America.
