JOE BIDEN

My rescue dog is extremely protective of me. I suspect Major is the same way. He couldn't cope with all the people approaching the family he protected.

No, no, his collar tag says "Good Boy."

Idiot regrets being idiotic in public; film at 11.

Buried at the bottom:

Asked why he resigned from Medford police on July 15, 2018, Schmeck wouldn’t say.

Funny how that "expressing" thing works, isn't it.

What's that acronym all the cool kids are using?

FAFO.

You have the opportunity to speak to POTUS on a call focused on kids, and you use a euphemism for a nasty vulgarity. Tool.

NIH director says Trump, Republicans pressured him to back unproven COVID-19 remedies
BY JOSEPH CHOI
December 20, 2021 - 10:01 AM EST

On his last day as director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Francis Collins spoke on how former President Trump pressured him to endorse unproven medical treatments for COVID-19, such as "hydroxychloroquine and blood plasma."

Speaking with "CBS Sunday Morning" correspondent Rita Braver, Collins said, "I have done everything I can to stay out of any kind of political, partisan debates, because it really is not a place where medical research belongs."

However, Collins said he often had to face off against Trump for his refusal to recommend medical treatments for COVID-19 that had not been shown to improve illnesses.

"And I got into a difficult place, and got a bit of a talking-to by the president of the United States about this," he said. "But I stuck my ground."

Sunday was Collins's last day as NIH director after 12 years as the head of the agency. Braver asked Collins if he would have resigned instead of submitting to the White House's demands.

"Yeah, I was not going to compromise scientific principles to just hold onto the job," said Collins, adding that he also refused demands from right-wing lawmakers that Anthony Fauci, now President Biden's chief medical adviser, be fired.

"Can you imagine a circumstance where the director of the NIH, somebody who believes in science, would submit to political pressures and fire the greatest expert in infectious disease that the world has known, just to satisfy political concerns?" said Collins.

When asked about any regrets on how the COVID-19 pandemic was handled, Collins said he wished that the "problem of hesitancy" had been studied more and that he did not foresee so many people refusing the vaccine once they were made available.

With Collins's retirement from the NIH, the agency's principal deputy director, Lawrence Tabak, will serve as the acting director of the NIH beginning on Monday.

Quelle surprise.

[Dr. Ken]

Quelle surprise.

I bet if you ask enough questions you'll find out he was also a birther and have a bunch of other conspiracy beliefs.

[pipistrelle]

We all knew “not a Trumper” = cult member. The rest was icing.

Ooh, he was saying he didn’t want all this attention for being misconstrued. And continues to be an attention-seeking missile.

Joe pwned him.

Yeah. He's not a Trumper, but he believes "The election was 100% stolen". That is practically the definition of "Trumper".

[p0rtia]

Whatever he was (other than a jerk) before Dec 24, we'll never know for sure. But he's a grifter now.

I’d do almost anything to see President Biden pick up Suranis’s meme: “That’s President Brandon to you, son.” with a big smile on his face and in his voice if anyone dares do that again.

I’m surprised it’s not proof of dementia to them.

Oh, it is; e.g., P&E: Non Compos Mentis.

Has Biden been called a communist in any of his other years in office? How did the right become so stupid that they believe more than half the population has gone communist in the last four years with no apparent effect outside America? I haven’t seen Le Monde calling for an investigation, nor have I seen Pravda welcoming us to the fold.

I AM DISGUSTED WITH WHAT/WHO WE HAVE BECOME.

At the very end:

It is not the first time in recent years that a president’s NORAD duty has gained the attention of social media. In 2018, President Donald Trump received backlash after he asked a 7-year-old if she still believed in Santa while taking calls.

According to NPR, Trump said to the girl, “You doing well in school? … What are you going to do for Christmas? … Are you still a believer in Santa? … Because at 7 it’s marginal, right?” The NORAD tradition has been taking place since 1955, according to NPR.

Needs editing or that puppy is a vampire.

Biden introduced Commander in a tweet. He turned 79 in November.
