Oooo nooo.
Not the sacred diet Coke button..........................
President Biden appears to remove Trump’s Diet Coke button from Oval Office.

Maybe he should use the other big red button and nuke Iran?
But he'd probably just douse them with diet Coke.

Been a bit slow with keeping up with the news lately.
Only noticed yesterday that Mira Furlan passed away.
Clicking on the link that Timelord provided made me pull up the series & watch the full episode "Severed Dreams"
Something about B5 bugged me so scrolled through the series. Found the episodes I wanted "War without End"
You're the One that was, You're the One that is, & you're the One that will be
I think that quote describes America today.
To 1945 - America that was
To date - America that is
?????? - America that will be. Will never happen. Too much division & love of false gods - money & guns.

Makes one wonder then about this.
"THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" spans the top of the bill, "ONE DOLLAR" is emblazoned along the bottom, and above the central "ONE" are the words "IN GOD WE TRUST," which became the official motto of the United States in 1956 by an Act of Congress.

America is already footing the bill for the homeless, the lost opportunity cost far exceeds the cost of housing and feeding them.

Ya know......
The wondrous thing about all of your challenges is that the Dems seem to think it's OK when they turn a trick.
But the minute it comes back on them, it's foul play.
And then their administration backs them up.
Amusing , if it were not so true.

Biden's 'nothing we can do' comments on coronavirus trajectory causes stir.
Claim is 'the opposite' of what Biden said during his campaign, National Review writer said.

Biden's campaign featured harsh criticisms of former President Trump's approach to COVID-19, and in his first speech as president-elect he said his administration's work "begins with getting COVID under control." On Friday, however, he indicated that the trajectory of the pandemic can't be changed in the coming months, no matter what Americans do.

Would you expect Fox News say anything differently?
Just shows how much they have investigated what steps the Trump government didn't take to have a coherent Covid policy.
None.

Now he's got access to the internal records of what has, and hasn't, been done over the last 12 months, I'm not surprised.

YOUR president said it.

YOUR president said it.

So they added the 'causes stir' in the title so that it would fire up the Biden opposition.

As well it should.
He was all full of bluster on the campaign trail, saying anything he thought the voters wanted to hear.
Now it's time to back up his verbose statements, and he cannot do it.

I think that's what's called a 'dog and pony show'.
Or simply a sham artist.

To fully understand what was said (and Fox News reports this), the words used in the headline are prefaced in the body of the article with the words "If we fail to act....." Which totally change the meaning of the headlines, and no doubt that meaning does not fit with the Fox News agenda. All too often news organisations of all political flavours carefully edit things to get a good by-line in the knowledge that a large proportion of the readership will never go beyond those headlines.

Hang on there.............
The full quote was...........
"If we fail to act, there will be a wave of evictions and foreclosures in the coming months as this pandemic rages on, because there's nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months," Biden said.

The 'nothing we can do' part is right there.
