After several weeks of navigating the evenly split Senate, President Biden held his first Cabinet meeting today. He leads a diverse team of experienced public servants, exemplified by Tony Blinken at State, Janet Yellen at Treasury, and Merrick Garland at Justice. On the agenda was promoting the American Jobs Act and his "Buy American" initiative. Very un-Trumpy.
How different from sociopathic seditionist and fragile narcissist Donald "Mango Mussolini" Trump, who insisted that his sychophantic Cabinet members praise him in front of the cameras. Many of his appointees later left in disgrace (Tom Price, Scott Pruitt, Ryan Zinke, etc.), disgust (Mattes, Tillerson, etc.), or because they publicly crossed Dear Leader bigly and were canned (Jefferson Beauregard Sessions).
Here's the unsettling video of that Cabinet meeting where each obsequious toady praises Trump profusely in a foreshadowing of things to come. This could be a scene right out of Stalin's Soviet Union, Hitler's Third Reich, or Kim's North Korea.

I really like how TCG (The Current Guy) handles himself when having meetings. It seems so very normal, and somewhat boring,to have real discussions about policy. TFG made it into a faux religious service, where the acolytes competed for dear leaders's attention. Not surprising though TFG is/was a malignant narcissist who some of the evangelicals believed he was chosen by God. An ancient Chinese curse is "may you live in interesting times." Kinda where we were I'm thinking Joe is the cure...
Jimmy -- normal is good and healthy, and TCG screams "normal." So appealing after the last 4 years, obviously.
