I think I heard Rachel say last night that the first address to a joint session of Congress is not technically a State of the Union speech, and it doesn't seem to be what they are calling it.

Between the “junkyard dog” and the Rosa Parks bust, that’s a lot of faux outrage.

President Biden, first lady Jill Biden, Vice President Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff on Monday released their 2020 tax returns, in a stark contrast with their immediate predecessors in the White House.

The Bidens had an adjusted gross income of $607,336 in 2020, according to their tax filings, with an effective federal income tax rate of 25.9 percent.

Harris and Emhoff had an adjusted gross income of nearly $1.7 million during the same year, their filings show. They paid an effective federal income tax rate of 36.7 percent.

Neither former president Donald Trump nor his vice president, Mike Pence, released their tax returns during their four years in the White House. Pence did release a decade’s worth of tax returns during the 2016 campaign. Trump, meanwhile, repeatedly declined to do so, saying that he had been advised not to release them because he was under audit

What a pleasure to have honest, responsible, competent people doing their best.

Yes, but we lost some House seats. Combine that with all the new voter suppression and GOP knows they have a great chance of retaking the House in 2022. They are likely to succeed, given history. So, this is no time to be complacent.

But, yeah, I'm on that beach with you, having a nice cool one!

Queen Elizabeth will meet Biden at her castle later this month.
By Isabella Kwai June 3, 2021, 9:00 a.m. ET

Queen Elizabeth II will meet President Biden and the first lady, Jill Biden, later this month at the royal residence of Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace announced on Thursday. It would be the first meeting between the two since Mr. Biden’s election.

No further details were given about the June 13 meeting, part of President Biden’s first presidential trip abroad, which will include stops at the Group of 7 summit in England, a meeting with the European Union in Brussels and a face-to-face with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.

The British monarch last hosted an American president in June 2019, when Donald J. Trump visited the country on a lavish state visit, which he later characterized as “a great time.” But the event stirred controversy, given only a handful of American presidents have received the honor of an official state visit. Some British citizens and lawmakers protested against the visit.

And on a previous visit in 2018, Mr. Trump famously made headlines by walking in front of Elizabeth, 95, during an inspection of the royal guard — a breach of protocol.

The world’s longest reigning monarch, Elizabeth has met with every American president since Harry S. Truman except Lyndon B. Johnson. She will celebrate her 70th year on the throne next year.

Pretty amazing Biden can do all this when he's not the president and just in front of a green screen at a studio in California. /Q

President Biden is STILL at 61% approval, right-wing Twitter is a loud but tiny fraction of Americans. John Cardillo posted snark about the poll findings and it was great fun to take him to the woodshed. They love their crosstabs. But in this case, Republicans were highly (probably too highly) sampled. It shut him up and he moved on. :boxing: :dance:

John, it was a Hill-HarrisX Poll of Registered Voters. The Hill is conservative-owned.
#JoeBiden Approval at 61%
60% Approve of his job in office
68% Approve on #COVID19
60% Approve on Administering Government
58% Approve on Jobs
57% Approve on Economy
Looks like #BlueWave2022

President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced 17 nominations for key roles in his administration. Cindy McCain, the widow of the late GOP Sen. John McCain, has been tapped for the role of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations World Food Programme and Claire Cronin, the second-ranking Democrat in the Massachusetts House, has been nominated to take the mantle of ambassador to Ireland.

McCain’s nomination has been in the works for some time, The New York Times reported. She endorsed Biden during the all-virtual Democratic National Convention last year, saying in a video that the Democrat was the “only” candidate “who stands up for our values as a nation.”

“My husband John lived by a code: country first. We are Republicans, yes, but Americans foremost,” she said.

More recently, McCain told CNN in an interview that she’d be “proud and honored to serve” in the Biden administration.

That datum, while accurate, is also incomplete.

I had hoped (the team for) Biden would have been above such ticky-tack comparisons.

If they don't do it, the average Joe won't think it's happening. Now a days you have to spoon feed people what's really happening or they'll believe the other side.

Sadly, I agree.

But this express comparison to his predecessor, using misleading data, is exactly what said predecessor did to Obama. I had hoped for a better method of messaging than doing what we criticized his predecessor for doing.
