I don't understand these attacks at all....this would be equivalent to Maddow attacking Melania's intelligence four years ago.

I say equivalent in voice...not in intelligence or morals

these are the same idiots that have been saying for 4 years that Melania is the best first lady ever. a woman who conservatives normally would have called a tramp for posing nude.

i just had a thought. 

i kind of do not think joe knows what he is getting in to. he is talking all of this "unite the country" stuff. does he not realize that reality number 1 is you cannot unify people that do not want to be unified? does he really think these trumpers are going to suddenly listen to him and be like "you know, you're right. i am on board with you 100%. fuck trump."

if he believes that, we are in a load of trouble. he is going to waste 2 years trying to unify something that cannot be unified. he should just proceed with his agenda and give people a reason to love or hate him.

He won't get tRump's 40% but he'll get some GOP for sure.  Not sure...but some

I think he's doing the right thing but I know what you mean.  The right wing media will be relentless.

they will be worse to joe than they were to obama. they have 40+ years of old shit to bring up and be offended by and pissed off about. 

gimmesometruth27

they will probably blame biden for trickle down economics when that was their god reagan's legacy.

HughFreakingDillon

he is saying that as he has to say it. I doubt he'll keep up with it much after he's sworn in.

It's funny to see the right freak out about Biden's campaign staffer calling the GOP "fuckers"....

It’s not about Tricky Team Trump Treason Tax Cheat supporters. Those Deplorables are too far gone. It’s about the Dems and indies working together to banish the deplorables to back under their collective rocks. Steve Schmidt said it best as he’s leaving the repubs to become a dem, realizing he’ll have policy differences, because our democracy is worth saving. That gives me hope and that in 10 or 15 years the country will have moved on and the deplorables will still be whining about a stole election.

I hope this is the case.  I’m a little worried that we are past the point of no return when it comes to deplorables going back in hiding though.

Same. Joe has to say he wants to unite the country after the Great Divider. Trump has been very popular among Republicans and he's hovered at right around 40% overall the whole time.  That's not a very good approval rating for a president but given the level of devotion towards him, that threatens to be an enormous impact on everything.  The question is, of that 40%, is a significant portion just ready to move on and stop living life to own the libs and to be angry (despite long having forgotten what they're angry about)?  Are they ready to just go on and be conservative the way they were when the voted for Mitt Romney? Or does most of that 40% intend to spend the next four years whining about voting machines and late-night ballot burning?  We've seen an unprecedented level of devotion to Trump, but hopefully the truly far-gone is a smaller proportion than it seems like.

Biden to nominate New Mexico Rep Deb Haaland as interior secretary; she'd be the first Native American to lead an agency that wields great influence over the nation's tribes-AP

Biden and Bernie had talks about labour secretary. Came to the conclusion not risking the senate was more important. 

BERNIE IS TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD.

I'm disappointed biden didn't nominate yang for anything

Four solid picks. And get the WWF out of the SBA.

Governor Gina Raimondo as Secretary of Commerce

Currently serving her second term as the 75th Governor of Rhode Island -- the first woman to hold the position -- Gov. Raimondo is known as an effective and innovative executive whose strong management brought her state back from what was, at the time she first ran for Governor, the worst unemployment rate of any state in the nation. A champion of creative, forward-thinking economic initiatives, Governor Raimondo launched successful workforce training programs to prepare Americans for the 21st century economy. She will be a key player in helping position the United States as an exporter of 21st century products and leader in the clean energy economy.

Mayor Marty Walsh as Secretary of Labor

If confirmed, Mayor Walsh would be the first union member to serve in this role in nearly half a century. Mayor Walsh has worked tirelessly to rebuild the middle class, create a more inclusive, resilient economy, and fight for workers in his hometown -- including fighting for a $15 minimum wage and paid family leave. Having served as the head of both Laborers' Union Local 223 and the Boston Metropolitan District Building Trades Council, Mayor Walsh has the necessary experience, and relationships to help workers recover from this historic economic downturn and usher in a new era of worker power.

Isabel Guzman as Small Business Administrator

Currently serving as Director of California’s Office of the Small Business Advocate and a key leader in the state’s COVID-19 economic recovery, she works closely with entrepreneurs to help them weather the pandemic and support innovation, job creation, and economic growth in the nation’s largest state network of small businesses. A former senior advisor and deputy chief of staff at the SBA -- and a small business entrepreneur herself -- she is a passionate advocate for small businesses who knows firsthand the opportunities they create for families and communities.

Don Graves as Deputy Secretary of Commerce

An experienced public servant who has been my long-time trusted advisor on jobs and the economy, Graves is a widely respected leader who has successfully taken on some of the toughest challenges facing our economy. When Detroit grappled with bankruptcy, President Obama and I put Graves in charge of coordinating the response to bring the city back -- working with municipal, state, business, and community leaders, he oversaw the historic effort to revitalize the Motor City. Graves knows how to successfully manage some of the federal government’s most critical and impactful job and small business-focused programs.
