Biden isn't showing much unity in his first few days

The call for "unity" was just political rhetoric. His actions speak louder than his words. And that's not good.

I disagree, Carlos. He is uniting us against the establishment government ruling class.

Biden is enacting the policies that won him the White House by 7 million votes, just as his predecessor did - except, of course, his predecessor lost the popular vote by 2.9 million votes.

I wonder what people mean by "unity"? I get the feeling that some Republicans feel that if they don't get their way then that's not unity. That's not what unity is. Unity is simply working towards a better America - for all Americans - something we should all be interested in, even though we all have different ideas about what "better" means. It means a president not casting one half of the nation as "winners" and the other half as "losers", but trying to move the whole nation forward. It doesn't mean that everyone is happy - there is very little that any president can do that will make all sides happy. But it does mean that those who aren't happy are, to paraphrase John McCain, "decent people who we just happen to disagree with on fundamental issues", not people who hate America and want to see it destroyed, as our fellow Americans are often depicted in this forum.

I like the idea that intelligent people are aggravating the Trumper Carlos. It would appear that his Republican God’s will is not working in his favor. We can expect negative comments from him for the next four years.

President Biden has not completed his second week in office, but

You can ignore Twitter.

The White House briefing room is not an Orwellian nightmare of lies

We are now confronting white domestic terrorism

We are not paying for golf trips

There are no presidential relatives in government

The tenor of hearings is sober and serious

. Qualified and knowledgeable nominees have been selected for senior spots

. We have a first lady who engages with the public

. We have not heard a word from presidential children

. We are now tough on Russian human rights abuses

. We get normal readouts of sane conversations between the president

and foreign leaders

Manners are in, bullying is out

You feel calmer after hearing the president speak

Fact-checkers are not overworked

. We have seen the president’s tax records

The president is able to articulate policy details, coherently

The worst the press can come up with is the president’s watch

. We have a White House staff that looks like America

We have a national covid-19 plan

More than two-thirds of Americans approve of the White House

covid-19 approach.

. Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious

Diseases Anthony S. Fauci is liberated, sounds happy and even looks

younger

. Fauci, not the president, briefs on the science of covid-19 and

efficacy of vaccines

Masks and social distancing in the White House

The White House has policy initiatives and proposals, not merely

leaving it all to Congress

. The administration is committed to releasing information, not

covering it up, on the slaughter of journalist Jamal Khashoggi

The Republicans not the Democrats who are in disarray

The national security adviser has not been fired for lying to the FBI

No Soviet-style fawning over the president by his subordinates

The president takes daily, in-person intelligence briefings

The president does not care about Air Force One colors

We have a president familiar with the Constitution

. Voice of America is back in the hands of actual journalists

. We get memes about Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), not crowd size

. We are back in the Paris climate accord and the World Health Organization

. Instead of running it like a business, the new administration will

be running government competently

We have a president who doesn’t think military service is for

“suckers” and who doesn’t send his “love” to people assaulting law

enforcement

. No more work-free “executive time” in the presidential living quarters

. We have a churchgoing president “who has spent a lifetime steeped in

Christian rituals and practices.”

The White House takes the Hatch Act seriously

The administration wants as many people as possible to vote

No attacks on the free press as “enemies of the people.”

No Use of fear and scapegoating in efforts to unify support.

No Accusations of treason against anyone Biden gets angry at.

No assertions by Biden that Article II gives him the power to

“do anything I want” and that he is above the law.

No gaslighting and lying.

No glorification of violence against political opponents, reporters, or

protesters. Biden is not yelling lock him up , lock him up

No Persecution and punishment of critics and whistleblowers.

Thank you Jim, for the excellent summary of what unifying America looks like under the Biden administration.

Trump has been gone a week or so, and the supporters of that RACIST Assoiciate of former Dixicrat KU KLUX KLAN members in the US Senate, & who now is President, are having a fit in anxiety pinned up emotions! I knew this would happen! They now have nothing to fill the space reserved for venomous Trump hate with! They have grown use to telling lies on, vilifying, and excoriating TRUMP, and now that the election was stolen from him...they don't know how to dispense their time!

Beijing Joe is killing jobs of Union Members by the thousands! Jobs of people who voted for him, and adversely affecting businesses who supported the jobs he killed! He is opening up the border allowing massive amounts of drugs, like fentanyl, and other illicit drugs to flow freely over into this country killing in excess of over 100 thousand Americans a year, and making addicts out of many more!

Refugees from everywhere are starting to pour into this country competing for jobs with African-Americans, & Hispanic citizens already left behind by the Radical LEFT, due to bad schools, atrocious education, high crime, & badly managed cities! China has already informed Joe that he will trigger off a Cold War with them If he even think about approaching them the way Trump did! So, what is the present US policy toward China? ( They have nothing to worry about ).

I will tell YOU! He and his news rep repeats it often, It is to get with our Allies and do what they want to do together! Lolo. China is the Big Dog on the corner now, and make no mistake about it! The European Union & NATO are afraid of China, and we have so many China surrogates all over this nation, the same can now be said about us, ..now that Trump is gone! China is now flying huge bombers and squadrons of fighter jets over Taiwan on a regular basis trying to provoke them, because they know they have a golden opportunity to take Taiwan BEFORE Trump comes back in 2024!

If somebody hears laughter in the night,.....don't be alarmed, it will just be me belly laughing at how BEIJING JOE and the LEFT boogger-jived those who voted for him!

Another thing! PUT YOUR HELMETS ON.....and buckle up!!!!! If you don't ..by the end of these four years with a Red China Flunky in the Oval Office,...you will wish.you had!

It has come to the time where you are a Republican or a Patriot, you can’t be both.

Robert, the time table for the stimulus check rollout is below. The path to a third stimulus check is already speedier than the nine-months that led to the $600 second payment. The $600 was part of the amount that some will get in the near future. It's calculated $600 plus $1,400 = $2000

Right now they are negotiating the amount of the check. The two sides are working on, is the amount going to be $1,000 or $1,400. If they settle on $1,000, your maximum total amount would be $1,600. My son just received his $600 check last week, so it could take awhile for you to receive a check.

Stimulus check passes Congress Friday, March 12

Stimulus bill signed into law Sunday, March 14

First direct-deposit check sent Week of March 22

First paper checks sent Week of March 29

First EIP cards sent Week of April 5

Unity, this can’t work at this point in time, because you must realize there are only a few Republicans that want to try the experiment. Sooner or later the die hard Republicans that are still infatuated with the TV celebrity will have to come to reason and find out that for our democracy to work they will have to make compromises with the new and completely different kind of patriotic members of the United States of America.

Stripping QAnon lunatic Greene from her committee assignments represents a great step towards unity and sanity. Ponce paying his debt will take a miracle, no doubt the miracle he's waiting on so religiously.

Can you just feel the unity in these comments?

Carlos the new President is Catholic therefore we can all assume that his God’s will is better than yours , after he is our leader of our democracy not a TV celebrity that many of you fake Republicans are infatuated with.

Nice article Raymond.
