Put your foot down, Joe. Its past time to give any more of our precious time to hurt feelings or such shit. There has to be teeth in our laws n norms so start chomping. No more being meek n mild..considerate or whatever while he is trying to dismantle our democracy. And..might I add..doing It unconstrained by the silence of just about every one elected.

(83,757 posts)Has Joe been sworn into office?
No. Hell he is not even getting briefings on national security issues. Oh, boy.

(25,519 posts)It's the Cenk Uygur attack: Biden refuses to fight back against Trump. Democrats are SILENT, don't fight, don't do anything, are weak blah blah blah. They're just getting warmed up for the non-stop attacks once Biden's in office.
They say "speaking truth to power" before the Biden administration even has any power.

(83,757 posts)He is transitioning to office as all Presidents do. One that has not formally been certified due to the trump, gop and rude rudies shit show. I just want to scream.

There are people who view politics as a form of entertainment.

(18,486 posts)On the one hand, they insist they are well-informed and know what's going on. Yet they complain that Democratic leaders don't more loudly and dramatically bellow all of the things they claim to already know.
As you said, they don't want governance, they want a show - a left-wing version of the Giuliani public spectacle and a Trump presidency.

(15,325 posts)Until he's actually given the power of the Office, there's not a damned thing publicly he can do.
Now what he & his superior team are preparing for the day he is granted such powers, We Are Certainly Not Privy To.
I suggest direct your ire at the one whose earned it.
Donald Trump & his cult loyalists.
Biden's hasn't done a single thing to be pissed about.
And he's not about to announce what he's preparing for Trump. Nor should he.

(6,587 posts)I Fully realize we have one president at a time. My point, maybe not understood, was that Im feeling frustrated and that I would hope our incoming leaders would posture more assertively.

(17,157 posts)I hear it all but Joe is doing the absolute correct thing right now. Let trump make a whining, churlish fool of himself. Joe is behaving with the dignity that befits a President of the USA.
PatSeg
(47,430 posts)He has the experience to know what to do, plus the best people in government advising him. I don't see how anyone can say he is whining.
Perhaps you should look at the team he is assembling today and for our future. Not sure you understand that he can not take office until 01/20/21. He has no say on how the government is run at this time. We also have a maniac in office supported by a vicious gop that are doing there best to destroy our democracy.
Sheshe2 👍

I'm glad to see someone actually focusing on doing things to try to help the Country instead of people thinking politics is about their personal entertainment.

(11,769 posts)People are being put in place to hit the ground running on Day 1. President Biden's lawyers are lawyering and keeping their mouths shut, that's what Real lawyers do, unlike trump's bs shovelers. I'm happy and relieved our side isn't on the TV shouting every move they make. They are quietly announcing appointments and moving quickly, that's the Normal way things are done, not shouting on TV or on Twitter every day.
