Anyone else wonder why ten members voted in the thread poll,  but there seem to be 11 votes?   Have we at long last found voter fraud?   Hehe.

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace on Wednesday praised Biden's "great" inaugural address, going as far as to deem it the best he's ever watched in his life.

"I thought it was a great speech," Wallace said. "I've been listening to these inaugural addresses since 1961 — John F. Kennedy, 'ask not.' I thought this was the best inaugural address I ever heard."

Ms. Psaki demonstrating what a real press briefing looks like. We know it's been over 4 years since you've seen a real one. So, check it out.

Questions. Answers. Reasonable. Non-combative. REFRESHING.

She's pretty sharp - look forward to the briefings as we go along

But today was a FAIL.  President Trump should always be called PRESIDENT Trump, if alluding to the man - and the Trump ADMINISTRATION when speaking of the group

Just saying "Trump" is disrespectful.

President Biden issued a warning Wednesday to his appointees that a hostile workplace will not be allowed in his administration.

Addressing approximately 1,000 political appointees during a virtual swearing-in ceremony on his first day in the White House, Biden said: “I’m not joking when I say this: If you ever work with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I will fire you on the spot. No ifs, ands or buts.”

Maybe you should model that for us, starting with President Biden.

Californians have 1.5 votes to everyone else’s one vote for this congress. Apologies if it makes vote counting a little harder to follow. Tony & I account for that extra vote on account of Madame Vice President’s authority to weigh in and break ties.

Peter Doocy of FOX News was called on about twelfth - and had the only question about Biden's thoughts on Congress going ahead with an impeachment trial

Doocy was told he'd be next - then Psaki went to 4 others , returning to Doocy toward the end of the presser

Funny.

I also did not see OAN's Chanel Rion called on to ask a question - if she was even there.

A Brazilian reporter got 3 times the time as Doocy, including getting her first question in before him.
