I don’t think even many of his supporters were prepared for the extent to which Biden was going to bloodlessly work the gears of government to eviscerate everything trump did

Biden just fired all 10 of Trump’s appointees on the Federal Service Impasses Panel. Trump had stacked the panel with anti-labor activists who rewrote union contracts to undermine collective bargaining and strip protections from workers. Now all his holdovers are gone.

1. As Joe Biden side yesterday, "I'm not making new law, I'm eliminating bad policy."

[malaise]

23. I love it

[sop]

2. It's called draining the swamp.

[3catwoman3]

4. What else...

...can we call it?

[Lonestarblue]

10. We can call it restoring government FOR the people.

Government for workers, not government for grifters.

[CaptainTruth]

20. Draining the cesspool!

[3catwoman3]

34. That one actually did occur to me.

I don’t want to use any Trump terminology when discussing President Biden’s actions.

[GopherGal]

39. It's just part of Build Back Better

though I suppose that slogan was meant to target his economic policies...

[3catwoman3]

40. Or we could call it...

...REALLY Drain The Swamp.

[soldierant]

60. And besides, swamps have an ecological function.

Cesspools not so much.

[Mopar151]

71. Re-flooding the.marshes!

Mussolini did not get the idea that swamps have a vital function, either.

[lagomorph777]

6. Like pulling a gigantic plug out of the bathtub.

[ResistantAmerican17]

9. Or like pressure flushing lunkers down the crapper...

[Walleye]

31. Don't like that expression. Here we call swamps wetlands and we learned to preserve them

[sop]

32. I agree. Here in Florida swamps are beautiful, diverse habitats, the source of life.

[Walleye]

33. Yes. Thank you. I love photographing the birds and wildlife

[GulfCoast66]

42. Thank you. I was about to say the same.

Here is Florida we are paying the price for swamps being drained over the past 120 years. We have a big on many people have heard of...the Everglades. Used to be twice as big.

[Walleye]

44. I remember when they used to drain them. And they would clear the osprey nest out of the buoy marker

Fortunately we had a strong conservation community and a very good governor named Russell Peterson who was a Republican at the time but eventually switched parties. Now there is a nature center named after him. I love our swampy wildlife refuges. Oh and they put up habitat especially for the ospreys now.

[GulfCoast66]

47. What state are you in?

[Walleye]

48. Delaware, (home of our current president).Biden has always been for ecology

[GulfCoast66]

49. Guess I didn't know y'all had Ospreys up there.

But just googled them and they are all over the US but apparently the migrate from up north. We have the year round.

Have a nice evening.

[BlueCanine]

64. Learned to preserve them in the past but...

Without addressing global warming they will be lost to the sea. More needs to be done.

Back in 58 Burl Ives stared in a film with Christopher Plummer and where Peter Falk had his first role in called
Wind Across the Everglades. The film highlighted the over harvesting of bird plumes and the governments battle to counter the poachers.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052395/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_45

[Walleye]

65. So true about the global warming. The whole state of Delaware is only a few feet above sea level

[Cha]

54. For Real This time..

Stupid traitor made that Statement & all he did was try to destroy the world

[niyad]

66. How about "trash removal"?? Housecleaning? Pest control? MIRT?...

[Kid Berwyn]

3. President Biden knows how to use the powers of government for the good of all.

Nice change.

[NCDem47]

5. These near daily reports reassure me.

Somebody in the Biden camp has their eye on a deep cleaning of government. Surgical precision at work. Couple that with exec orders that reverse Trump orders and the last four years are being wiped away. The only stain left are the courts which we can’t do much about.

[betsuni]

7. Because stupid people were all into "centrist" and the usual "corrupt" bullshit.

[ananda]

8. And don't forget the USPS, fix that stat!!!

!!!

[flibbitygiblets]

16. On it

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142686891

[ananda]

30. Thanks!

That's a start.

[Digger]

55. As I like to say:

"The USPS is nothing to write home about".

[mollie8]

11. gerrymandering

And fix gerrymandering. I'd like our 11th district in NC to have a fighting chance to elect a Democrat

[Turin_C3PO]

12. The courts usually rule

that gerrymandering is a state issue. I’m not sure what can be done federally.

[patphil]

13. Cutting out the cancer to save the patient.

[hamsterjill]

14. I'm fine with a little eviscerating.

I hope Joe’s just getting started, and I hope seeing Joe do this is putting Trump into a rage every single day.

[dalton99a]

15. Root them all out ASAP.

[Paper Roses]

17. Bravo Mr. President, keep up the good work. n/t

[PatSeg]

18. I had great confidence in his abilities and expertise,

but every day he's surpassing my most optimistic expectations.

"Biden was going to bloodlessly work the gears of government to eviscerate everything trump did."

He's doing it all very calmly and quietly, even with a reassuring smile on his face. I think most people seriously underestimated what kind of president Joe would be. Experience and character really do count.

[Hortensis]

19. Pleased but not surprised. He told us what he intended to do if elected and that,

in the middle of many crises, it was imperative to hit the ground running and act in big ways.

And WE knew that with 50 years in government, 8 of them in the White house!, and several months of intensive planning with various teams for the day, he knew how to do what had been decided on.

Including knowing high-quality people to appoint to rebuild from the rubble of four years of chaos and destruction.

[musclecar6]

72. Well said

After 4 years of enduring an evil loose canon imbecile, we can relax as Joe and Kamala are rapidly course correcting our country.

[Jetheels]

21. The sound of toilet flushing.

[DFW]

22. The song was so prophetic: You've got to know when you're older, you know to be bolder

You know that your decisions linger after you're long gone...........

[RobertDevereaux]

24. Undoing Trumpian inhumanity is the critical first step and JOE"S DOING JUST FINE AT THAT!

[Johnny2X2X]

25. He came in ready on Day 1

I think it shouldn't surprise, but it does because it wasn't talked about enough. Joe knows how this all works, he's got a ton of experience and spent 8 years in an Obama administration, he had everything ready to go on day 1. There has been no hesitation.

[honest.abe]

26. What I like about Biden v.2021 is his focus and complete lack of fear.

He is laser focused on fixing the mess Trump created and does not care or fear what anyone is saying or threatening.

[soothsayer]

27. And he's doing what America wants

Not forcing vile hatred and one-sided policies that benefit billionaires and elate white supremacists.

[Kitchari]

43. "Laser focus and lack of fear," as you said -

Perfectly stated -

[orangecrush]

28. I'm lovin' it!

[JaneQPublic]

29. From Trump Kakistocracy to Biden Meritocracy. (nt)

[LizBeth]

35. I did not think Biden would be this bold and strong. And I love that I am surprised. Does my heart

good.

[Blue Owl]

36. Spring cleaning is coming early this year

[peggysue2]

37. Knowing where the levers of power are and . . .

how and when to use them has always been Biden's strength as a candidate, nominee and now acting POTUS. It's what experience brings to the challenge.

So, no I'm not surprised by these actions nor Biden's desire to GO BIG in his policy thinking. He knows the extent of the Covid and economic crises. He lived through the shenanigans of the Republicans when President Obama was in office, and he understands how legislation can be thwarted or pushed into being.

It's early in the game but so far? Joe Biden is definitely living up to my expectations. He was made for this moment. And thank God he was willing to put an easy retirement on hold and throw himself back into the arena. For the country's sake.

In this case, he's thoroughly cleaning house. Dust Bunnies Beware!

[Kitchari]

45. "He was made for this moment,"

As you said: INDEED!

[Walleye]

50. I've never been worried about his so-called centrist reputation

He’s always been a good government liberal Democrat. And he’s worked at it all his life so he knows what to do

[nolabear]

38. Don't you listen to Larry Kudlow? He has no idea.

He just signs things. He’s a pawn of the far left. Bartoromo said so. Kudlow nods along.

[bucolic_frolic]

41. This is a gift to humanity. To Americans. We MUST make this stick in 2022 and 2024 and beyond.

[Kitchari]

46. His finest achievements

Are still ahead. Blessings on him!

[Fla Dem]

51. Joe's doing a "Bleach" cleaning.

[Cha]

52. Biden's launch vid on April 25, 2019 told us

that he was Fighting for the Soul of the Nation.

This is just more Steps in the that direction.

Biden is taking NONE of the Traitor's SHIT.

TY Pres Biden!

[StarfishSaver]

53. I was

One of the reasons I came around to Biden was my confidence in his experience and knowledge of the inner workings of government

[BobTheSubgenius]

56. I love the irony here.

The union-busting trolls who spent their time (gleefully, I bet) finding ways to end the rights of workers have now hit the bricks. Turns out, those mooks worked for an at-will employer.

How delightful is that???

[Politicub]

57. Biden exceeds my expectations every day. He's on his way

to joining the ranks of greatest presidents.

[PufPuf23]

58. I am simply thrilled.

Despite the lack of good faith in the transition, Joe Biden and his team were obviously doing their homework to hit the ground running.

I find it odd to be so pleased, a mixture of surprise and certainly relief.

[betsuni]

59. Because the centrist-centrist-centrist-centrist thing.

Saying things doesn't make them true. That should be on one dollar bill.

[Hortensis]

73. +1.

[Joinfortmill]

61. Joe is going speak softly and carry a big stick.

[Kahuna]

62. This is why we supported Biden. He knows the gears of government and how it works. nt

[Bettie]

63. He understands how government works

and how to use it.

That is a skill no one in the previous "administration" had (in quotes because it was more of a regime or cabal).

[Dawson Leery]

67. Trump's deluge of EC's could only be met by the same to undue them.

:kick:

[MicaelS]

68. I would like to know who's the hatchet-person.

So I could buy them a bottle of liquor.

[Alex4Martinez]

69. Kickity!

[Vivienne235729]

70. I have been dreaming of this for 4 years. Thank you, President Biden!
