When this is handed off to Biden, how many of you - and how often - will be saying, "well, this is the hand Joe was dealt"?

Will there be any level critique - or will it all be sent back to the beginning?

CARETAKER presidency indeed.  Such brilliance about to be bestowed upon us.

We will say of him the same thing, relatively speaking, that we did of Trump: he inherited the economy and foreign policy situation that was given to him.

If he ignores the pandemic handbook left him by Obama, like Trump did, we will blast him. If he tries to destroy Obamacare without replacement, we will blast him. If he locks up children and separates them from their parents - lying and conniving to keep them from their parents when the courts try to reunite them - we will blast him.

WE will be critical of more than just the pettiness, should there be cause.

It is YOU who is deceitful, who refuses to examine policies honestly.

And you who assumes we will behave the way you did, denying any substantial fault of a president of our party.

knew he couldn't stay presidential

Like Trump ...

Obama was perfectly presidential while he was President

Former presidents should refrain from critiquing current/ future admins.  Just the way it has always been - out of respect for the office.

Bartlett laid off Vinnick during the nuclear plant crisis....

Sorkin - a Democratic hero - got it right.

OMG.

Still on the West Wing.

No, it is far more presidential to speak up in a crisis when the liar-in-chief is threatening the future. Out of respect for the country.

The only thing W has positive to say about trump at this point is that decrepit delusional despot don has erased his worst president ever status in almost every significant category.

Aside from that W would beat trump bloody and senseless with the same axe handle Lincoln would use, a just act dreamt of by every sensible American.

No idea what that BIA letter means referring to "individual's constitutional rights."
Idiots.

I gave you the short, definitive statement on the matter

Ball is in the tribe's court - to contact the state for a meeting.

Incorrect.   With all due respect,  your knowledge of this topic is minimal.  The tribe has been in constant contact with the state,  and even had some assistance from them in how to set up checkpoints along US 212, and elsewhere.   It's the BIA,  a federal agency, that has tossed a wrench in the process and asserted a federal right-of-way that neither Cheyenne nor Sioux, as sovereign people, have ever granted.   Noem took this BIA interference as her cue to start pounding on her shield.   

Before further uninformed remarks emanate from you,  I'd also advise learning what's going on in the Navajo nation,  in the three states in the SW,  and why their CV19 rate is near that of NY and NJ.   

Just drive around

Heh - that was a good one.

I think if asked Sorkin, he'd say it's past time for Obama to be speaking up.

Empty boxes that Pence pretended were filled with PPE.

If that doesn't capture the essence of this Administration's response to crises and especially this crisis, I don't know what does.

Obama speaking up about Trump carries potential problems for Obama.
And they are not minor ones.

I don't think the Flynn case is as over as some of you seem to think it is.

Emmer suggested the following response to GOP members: "Every single registered voter was mailed a ballot. Is the implication that minority voters do not have mailboxes?"

Nah... too damn lazy to mail them back on time and/or too unconcerned.
