I can understand seeing the "good" in someone who gave you a bunch of money that you really needed to survive.

I have no empathy for someone trying to reconcile their knowledge of Bush's foreign policy with their observations of Bush being personable. Being personable gets you nothing! The lady holding up the tax credit at least got something out of it.

Does this mean all of the "A DEMOCRAT WOULD HAVE DONE A NATIONWIDE MASK MANDATE" poo poo will die down now?

Biden is doing exactly what Brian Kemp did in Georgia, which is refuse to mandate masks to avoid angering people, but telling everyone they should consider wearing them to cover his rear end with everyone else.

quote:

Executive Order on Protecting the Federal Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing

...

Accordingly, to protect the Federal workforce and individuals interacting with the Federal workforce, and to ensure the continuity of Government services and activities, on-duty or on-site Federal employees, on-site Federal contractors, and other individuals in Federal buildings and on Federal lands should all wear masks, maintain physical distance, and adhere to other public health measures, as provided in CDC guidelines.

Sec. 2. Immediate Action Regarding Federal Employees, Contractors, Buildings, and Lands. (a) The heads of executive departments and agencies (agencies) shall immediately take action, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to require compliance with CDC guidelines with respect to wearing masks, maintaining physical distance, and other public health measures by: on-duty or on-site Federal employees; on-site Federal contractors; and all persons in Federal buildings or on Federal lands.

...

Sec. 3. Encouraging Masking Across America. (a) The Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), including through the Director of CDC, shall engage, as appropriate, with State, local, Tribal, and territorial officials, as well as business, union, academic, and other community leaders, regarding mask-wearing and other public health measures, with the goal of maximizing public compliance with, and addressing any obstacles to, mask-wearing and other public health best practices identified by CDC.

(b) The COVID-19 Response Coordinator, in coordination with the Secretary of HHS, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the heads of other relevant agencies, shall promptly identify and inform agencies of options to incentivize, support, and encourage widespread mask-wearing consistent with CDC guidelines and applicable law.

it's a mask mandate for Federal employees, Federal contractors, the Armed Forces, the National Guard, any contractors working for the executive branch, anyone inside a "Federal building", and anyone on Federal land.

it's not a mask mandate for everyone else because the Federal government doesn't have that power (as the Democrats are willing to wield it).

There were plenty of cases made for the various constitutional ways the federal government could make a nationwide mask mandate, back when everyone was trying to convince voters that Biden would be better on the pandemic, and it could be done if they wanted to. You are right that they are not willing to.

yeah specifically the reason I wrote in that parenthetical was because it didn't sit right with me to say "the government technically) doesn't have that power", because they do, if they want to.

I'd like to think gradenko_2000 of 2012 would not have been willing to make that distinction, but that I've since recognized where political power grows out of the barrel of

quote:

Keep families together. ​The bill reforms the family-based immigration system by clearing backlogs, recapturing unused visas, eliminating lengthy wait times, andincreasing per-country visa caps. It also eliminates the so-called “3 and 10-year bars,” and other provisions that keep families apart. The bill further supports familes by more explicitly including permanent partnerships and eliminating discrimination facing LGBTQ+ families. It also provides protections for orphans, widows, children, and Filipino veterans who fought alongside the United States in World War II. Lastly, the bill allows immigrants with approved family-sponsorship petitions to join family in the United States on a temporary basis while they wait for green cards to become available

Start from the source. ​The bill codifies and funds the President’s $4 billion four-year inter-agency plan to address the underlying causes of migration in the region, including by increasing assistance to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, conditioned on their ability to reduce the endemic corruption, violence, and poverty that causes people to flee their home countries. It also creates safe and legal channels for people to seek protection, including by establishing Designated Processing Centers throughout Central America to register and process displaced persons for refugee resettlement and other lawful migration avenues—either to the United Statesor other partner countries. The bill also re-institutes the Central American Minors program to reunite children with U.S. relatives and creates a Central American Family Reunification Parole Program to more quickly unite families with approved family sponsorship petitions.

oh okay so it doesn't actually reunite families even if it passed, which it hasn't yet

quote:

The head of each agency shall, as soon as practicable and in consultation with the Attorney General, as appropriate, review all existing orders, regulations, guidance documents, policies, programs, or other agency actions (“agency actions”) that:

(i) were promulgated or are administered by the agency under Title VII or any other statute or regulation that prohibits sex discrimination, including any that relate to the agency’s own compliance with such statutes or regulations; and

(ii) are or may be inconsistent with the policy set forth in section 1 of this order.

(b) The head of each agency shall, as soon as practicable and as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, including the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.), consider whether to revise, suspend, or rescind such agency actions, or promulgate new agency actions, as necessary to fully implement statutes that prohibit sex discrimination and the policy set forth in section 1 of this order.

(c) The head of each agency shall, as soon as practicable, also consider whether there are additional actions that the agency should take to ensure that it is fully implementing the policy set forth in section 1 of this order. If an agency takes an action described in this subsection or subsection (b) of this section, it shall seek to ensure that it is accounting for, and taking appropriate steps to combat, overlapping forms of discrimination, such as discrimination on the basis of race or disability.

(d) Within 100 days of the date of this order, the head of each agency shall develop, in consultation with the Attorney General, as appropriate, a plan to carry out actions that the agency has identified pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) of this section, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law.

on the one hand yes this order doesn't directly do anything by itself except to tell executive agencies to review what they need to do properly enforce prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of sex or gender

on the other hand it's probably written that broadly so that it can be used to root out all the poo poo that Trump's appointees have planted everywhere
