    What?

    You know Biden is in the executive and not legislative branch…

    Right?

    And even if Biden was writing this law himself, why does he need the same guy to come back 8 times in 8 months?

    Reporters grilled press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre during a press briefing over reports that indicated visitor logs showed a neurologist specializing in Parkinson’s disease was at the White House eight times over an eight month period, including for a meeting with presidential physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor.

    If the doc was meeting with the people writing the law, why was he going to the White House?

      Legislation is often spearheaded by the President. He is the leader of the party and has the bully pulpit, so it makes sense that he would lead on the agenda.

        So we do want a competent person as president and it’s not enough to just block trump?

          What we want and what is possible are sadly not the same in this instance.

            The DNC can nominate anyone they fucking please.

            Just like trump isnt the only problem with the Republican party, Biden isn’t the only problem with the Dem party.

              I’m not sure the DNC is as organized a cabal of closed-door wheeler-and-dealers as you imply.
