No, he’s not the first. Ric Grenell is. 👍🏻 Grenell was never confirmed, he was the acting director of the United States National Intelligence. Pete Bettigieg was confirmed as Secretary of Transportation. So he is the first openly gay individual that was confirmed to a Cabinet Post in the Federal Government.

Remember when we thought this would never happen here? Unfortunately time to address the numbers toward a half million. Not sure all people grasp the 100s of thousands.

Liz Cheney will stay in her position through a secret GOP ballot 145-61.

And here we have a letter from a former President.
“Ms. Carteris:
February 4, 2021
I write to you today regarding the so-called Disciplinary Committee hearing aimed at revoking my union membership. Who cares!
While I’m not familiar with your work, I’m very proud of my work on movies such as Home Alone 2, Zoolander and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps; and television shows including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Saturday Night Live, and of course, one of the most successful shows in television history, The Apprentice – to name just a few!
I’ve also greatly helped the cable news television business (said to be a dying platform with not much time left until I got involved in politics), and created thousands of jobs at networks such as MSDNC and Fake News CNN, among many others.
Which brings me to your blatant attempt at free media attention to distract from your dismal record as a union. Your organization has done little for its members, and nothing for me – besides collecting dues and promoting dangerous un-American policies and ideas – as evident by your massive unemployment rates and lawsuits from celebrated actors, who even recorded a video asking, “Why isn’t the union fighting for me?” These, however, are policy failures. Your disciplinary failures are even more egregious.
I no longer wish to be associated with your union. As such, this letter is to inform you of my immediate resignation from SAG-AFTRA. You have done nothing for me.
Regard”

Problem with her defense is no one forced her to believe what she read on Facebook. She chose to believe it and so she is responsible and no one else but her.

"“I was allowed to believe things that weren’t true” sounds about right coming from the latest darling of the party that formerly espoused “personal responsibility”.
QOP to English Translation: I got a lady boner from BELIEVING things. Any things that align with hating the people/ideas I hate and worshiping the people/ideas I worship.
PS - Maj, you're "allowed to believe" all kinds of nonsense and fairy tales. It doesn't mean you're "allowed" to sit in the seats of power of US government when you espouse those beliefs. We still have a (scarily) slight preference for people whose beliefs comport with reality.

So, Biden is going back home for the weekend. He has packing to do and grandkids to see, etc. He will fly on Air Force One, which is obviously different than any old Joe can take to visit their family. He has been vaccinated.
Please help me understand why this is not another case of a person saying one thing, but doing another? If this was covered in another thread, I did not see it and I did search.

"Private" plane/flight helps. Far better then the frequent travel and events of the past. Yes I would like to see my youngest DGS before he heads to his base across the country in March. Not happening. Haven't gotten my first vaccine yet, let alone the second. Did not get to see DIL and DGSs for Christmas as had been planned. Who knows if I will ever see them again. March 13th will be a year basically SIP for me. dawnnikol

Plus he and others traveling on the plane will be wearing a mask. That's more than we can say about Trump and party.

I don’t have a problem with Biden going home for the weekend to pack and tie up loose ends at this time. He did just make a major move and has been working his butt off every day, unlike his predecessor who managed to carve out plenty of time to visit his properties and play endless rounds of golf.
Now if Biden did this every weekend racking up huge taxpayer expenses like Trump did, I would probably take issue with it then.
