Respect ...

 

CBS News - Kamala Harris is "clear-eyed" about the job ahead: "It is not gonna be easy"

 

17 Jan 2021

 

 

"I was raised to not hear 'no,' let me be clear about it," said Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris.

 

"I was raised to understand many people will tell you, 'It is impossible,' but don't listen. ... and then I will go on to tell them, 'I eat no for breakfast!'"

elpenguino:

For all his bad points, DJ trump didn't use the us military to do this.
I'm keeping my eye on Biden to see how long it is until the smart bombs start flying to defend freedom.

 

Another take is Trump removes the US from international organisations. Taunts Iran by removing USA from the nuke plan, adds sanctions. Did he fire a bullet? No. But taunt taunt taunt, look how powerful I am. When he loses the election and days before power is handed over he clamps down on the China Taiwan issue. He is days from leaving, and thats just to make it harder for the incoming POTUS. Thats childish to the extreme.

 

But the WH is now populated by adults

I think it's not political correctness to ask people to treat others with respect.

 

I also think setting the rules from the start is not workplace bullying.

 

This is just one of the things missing from the previous administration and its supporters.

freitasm: Jennifer Lopez.

I just can't relate to that song sung by someone wearing massive diamond earrings and tax arrangements. That's the first time I've thought hang on a minute what about the first nations when listening to that one. Loved the ending tho. That's no insult to Lopez she's great.

I hope the Washington first nations were in there somewhere.

No more border wall funding and work "Proclamation on the Termination Of Emergency With Respect To The Southern Border Of The United States And Redirection Of Funds Diverted To Border Wall Construction "

 

 

In furtherance of that commitment, I have determined that the declaration of a national emergency at our southern border in Proclamation 9844 of February 15, 2019 (Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Southern Border of the United States), was unwarranted.  It shall be the policy of my Administration that no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall.  I am also directing a careful review of all resources appropriated or redirected to construct a southern border wall.

I agree, hence the winky (and maybe policitical correctness wasn't quite the right phrase to use).

 

I was just having a bit of a dig at how, here in NZ at least, if a snowflake sensitive worker complained about being told that they could be fired on the spot, HR (in large organisations anyway) would likely come down on that manager/boss/team-leader like a ton of bricks.

What You Never Want To Have In Common With Jennifer Lopez

Do you owe back taxes? If so, realize that you're not alone. Even the world's richest and most popular people owe back taxes, too. And the IRS will get their money, regardless of who you are. Just ask Jennifer Lopez.

Here's what El Pais, the most widely newspaper in Spain, had to say in 2007 about singer Marc Anthony, husband of singer/actress Jennifer Lopez:

"At least three companies he owns have not paid their taxes correctly and have been told to pay $2.5 million to the state and city of New York. They will also have to pay an additional $180,000 in fines."

"So much for anyone being "above the law". The IRS usually always gets their man, eventually. (even if he spends a lot of time walking down the red carpet...)
...
Even If You Haven't. Been Notified Yet ... You Will. If you owe back taxes, even if you haven't received your first Notice and Demand for Payment from the IRS, eventually you will. And the worst part is that there are interest and penalties that are adding up everyday that you don't pay. Ignoring the problem makes it worse...by the day.

Cozy and casual: Bernie Sanders makes a fashion statement on Inauguration Day

 

The senator from Vermont arrived ahead of Wednesday's inauguration ceremonies wearing his signature beige parka and a pair of very warm-looking mittens. 

 

The sensible fit is drawing praise from viewers across the country.

 

The backstory:

Good point, and he also assassinated one of their most revered military leaders. He didn't actually manage to start a war because the ayatollahs were more rational and reasonable than he was, but he tried his damndest to do so.
