I've never been in favor of a blanket retraction of policy but I hope he can reverse every environmental EO Trump signed. I like fishing and clean air, drinking water and stuff.

It is not going to happen, Pelosi has been one of the most effective SOH in decades and still has widespread support from the rank and file Democrats in Congress. I don't expect a serious challenge to her speakership. And she is a rather young 80, seemingly more energetic than Trump who is 6 years her junior.Not sure but hopefully the Dems get rid of Pelosi this time around. Come on man, Nancy is 80 years old. Need a fresh start with some younger blood.

FTR, opioids sedate and decrease respiratory drive, so OD victims essentially fall asleep and stop breathing. They don’t scream “I can’t breathe” before succumbing to the toxicity.
The senate is talking about it. Man, if ever there was a bipartisan issue that we can all come together on it would be DST all the time.I know he can't really do anything about this, but I'd like to see Daylight Savings time either extended year round or done away with altogether. I'm sick of the time change.
Still better than hearing about whatever Trump did to waste taxpayer money. Besides, vinyl is a great sound.I want Biden to mandate every household gets a record player. So families can listen to it at night.
Trump? What does this have to do with Trump?squistion said:It is not going to happen, Pelosi has been one of the most effective SOH in decades and still has widespread support from the rank and file Democrats in Congress.

By the same token what does this have to do with Pelosi? And you brought up the subject of age, so it is fair game to mention other politicians, particularly since there are reports that Trump has told aides he is considering running again in 2024, when he will be 78.Trump? What does this have to do with Trump?
This is about our future SOH and moving forward. Pelosi will be 81 in March, you gotta admit that is long in the tooth.
I'm one who thinks Pelosi should walk. I think her effectiveness, particularly in getting Democratic butts in House seats, is a bit overstated. She should just spin the Biden victory as the thing she was most concerned about in this cycle, take a victory lap, thumb Trump in the eye and pass the baton on to someone she feels would be good in fighting off the Left while dealing with the Right.By the same token what does this have to do with Pelosi?

Is Trump going to be SOH? Who cares what he is doing 4 years from now? This is about now.By the same token what does this have to do with Pelosi?

I don't know why we are discussing Pelosi in a thread about Biden's expected Policy Accomplishments (outside of the fact that bills will start in the House, but they would no matter who the SOH is).Is Trump going to be SOH? Who cares what he is doing 4 years from now? This is about now.
We need to refocus on what is going on in the party and don`t worry whatever Trump is doing.
I grew up fishing and hunting in Wyoming and the method of logging that was done in the bighorn mountains was helpful for both fishing and hunting for two reasons. It created small clearings that were good for hunting, and also the loggers maintained roads which would have been otherwise unmaintained. This allowed us to get to hunting and fishing spots that we would not have been able to get to. I was not lazy, the logging roads often times only got you within 5+ miles of the destination and you still had hiking.2Squirrels1Nut said:I've never been in favor of a blanket retraction of policy but I hope he can reverse every environmental EO Trump signed.

Because my hope is one of his accomplishments is putting some of the geezers out to pasture and getting some fresh blood in the system. It is like the NFL that keeps hiring retreads as coaches. It is time to pass the torch.I don't know why we are discussing Pelosi in a thread about Biden's expected Policy Accomplishments (outside of the fact that bills will start in the House, but they would no matter who the SOH is).
An underrated aspect of a Biden presidency - he will lean on the experience of the men (other than Trump) that came before him. He will get the benefit of their experience.Biden getting briefings from national security experts in absence of access to classified security briefings. Dude's getting to work. It'll be nice to have an actual President and competent administration again.
I wonder if Biden will accomplish half of what Trump accomplished on foreign policy(middle east/China/korea/russia), or if he will renew harmful agreements like the Iran deal.Biden getting briefings from national security experts in absence of access to classified security briefings.

What has he accomplished with China? He has set us back years with his stance on China as it comes to the trade deficit.I wonder if Biden will accomplish half of what Trump accomplished on foreign policy(middle east/China/korea/russia), or if he will renew harmful agreements like the Iran deal.
An underrated facet of Trump's term, certainly by the liberal media.
Exactly what I was thinking in terms of China. If we get nothing more accomplished then Phase One which is basically China buying without tariffs than we are only back to where we were before the trade war. I think they never had any intentions of anything beyond Phase One.What has he accomplished with China? He has set us back years with his stance on China as it comes to the trade deficit.
North Korea? You mean giving in to what KJ wanted...and getting little in return?
Russia? haha!!! what has he accomplished there?
Middle East...a couple nice agreements with Israel is a very good thing...look at Iran, its more of a mess than when he took over thanks to his actions.
So what about this was underrated?
Why in the world would the current administration think that?lazyike said:- we will have an administration that no longer thinks the press is the enemy of the people
Negative equals enemy? Perhaps the press is negative...because he keeps doing negative things?Why in the world would the current administration think that?
You're right here, though. The press will be 95% positive to the Biden administration. You can bank that.
I am 100% certain he didn’t die of a fentanyl OD, and it sounds like the ME doesn’t think so either:https://www.kare11.com/article/news/local/george-floyd/new-court-docs-say-george-floyd-had-fatal-level-of-fentanyl-in-his-system/89-ed69d09d-a9ec-481c-90fe-7acd4ead3d04
The senate is talking about it. Man, if ever there was a bipartisan issue that we can all come together on it would be DST all the time.
Basically, the high level shows he was a chronic opioid user, able to tolerate fentanyl concentrations that would kill people who haven’t developed tolerance to the drug."If he were found dead at home alone and no other apparent causes, this could be acceptable to call an OD. Deaths have been certified with levels of 3," Baker told investigators.
In another new document, Baker said, "That is a fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances."
But then Baker added, "I am not saying this killed him."
I agree on the chronic use part - the point was that this would be an obfuscating factor in the criminal trials.I am 100% certain he didn’t die of a fentanyl OD, and it sounds like the ME doesn’t think so either:

But I agree DST is stupid.
Not without legislation from the House/Senate. GL with that.I hope he can do something about the 2017 tax cut by Trump and the GOP for the wealthy which has an easter egg in it - a 2021 tax increase for anybody making under a $100 k.
If not, I'm sure the right will blame Biden for a tax increase.

i suspect you're right. but i pretty much don't really get it, it's just changing the name of the hour twice a year. which is a weird thing to do.Man, if ever there was a bipartisan issue that we can all come together on it would be DST all the time.
This was all supposed to happen during infrastructure week. Along with planes, trains, and automobiles. Been waiting 4 years for infrastructure week.Big fan of the bolded part.
I would also like to see Biden make a push for clean energy. At least to me, that seems like a good complement to an infrastructure initiative.
Always talk about infrastructure. Money for bailouts but in need of better roads including more lanes, better surfaces, repairing of bridges and dams, airports, schools.Punxsutawney Phil said:This was all supposed to happen during infrastructure week.

As noted earlier, I would think it can't even be speculated until we know the results of the GA runoff elections?Well this thread sure did catch fire.
We haven't had one of those since George Bush the first.Be a POTUS that is more concerned with the good of the country than his own ego.
That would be awesome! We haven't had one of those since the first George Bush.Be a POTUS that is more concerned with the good of the country than his own ego.
I disagree...I don't think Clinton, W, or Obama were more concerned with their ego vs the good of the country. I may not have agreed with all they did...but don't think they did things out of ego the way I believe Trump does.That would be awesome! We haven't had one of those since the first George Bush.
How much more specific do you want?Not a lot of specific policy mentions in this thread unfortunately.
As has been pointed out repeatedly, Biden's expected policy accomplishments depend greatly on whether the Democrats have control of the Senate. It makes no sense whatsoever to speculate on this until we learn the results of the two Georgia run-off elections.Not a lot of specific policy mentions in this thread unfortunately.
I'll give my answer sometime around January 8 or so.

This matters now?Not a lot of specific policy mentions in this thread unfortunately.
My point was it's kind of a silly question at this time.So, did you want to discuss expected accomplishments? Or no?
It's difficult to talk about expected policy accomplishments when we have no idea what his policy positions are. He spent the entire time in his basement.Not a lot of specific policy mentions in this thread unfortunately.
Actually we do...his platform and speeches and website lat out quite a lit of his positions. They really aren't hard at al to find. And the basement comment is provably false and has been shown as much. Please stop repeating such things.It's difficult to talk about expected policy accomplishments when we have no idea what his policy positions are. He spent the entire time in his basement.
