If you have ever wondered where they are now... Apparently, Karine Jean-Pierre has reinvented herself.

After getting fired from her job at Men's Wearhouse, she transitioned to playing professional dodgeball using the skills of evasion she honed as press secretary. She also has an "I Love Doocy" tattoo on her left wrist that she keeps covered at all times.

The Biden Administration: Where Are They Now?

Many famous people drastically change their lives or careers once they leave the limelight and the former Biden administration is no exception.

Can you imagine this guy breastfeeding?

He surprisingly never came back from paternity leave. Several reports said he had been spotted attending breastfeeding classes at an Indiana maternity ward.

Not in jail, just out of jail or on probation, like many of Trump's first-term associates.

That site you link is the dumbest ever. At least the Onion is funny.
 

Rachel Levine is looking for someone just like him. Can you imagine him breastfeeding?​

He was last seen sailing the high seas and leading a rag-tag band of pirates in search of anyone who thought he looked like a woman.

Biden's Teleprompoter. Joe Biden believed the teleprompter, when it told Joe to pardon Hunter. ​

Still not funny. Here's a link that may provide you with some self-awareness.

Urban Dictionary: show your ass

making yourself look like a jackass or an asshole, being a dick. embarrassing yourself or the people you are with in public or in front of other people, usually by doing something socially unacceptable. exposing your true colors in a negative way. also, having a nasty attitude in a public setting.

Gally's obsession with the Biden administration is unhealthy. He'd rather concentrate on members of the former administration than face reality in that the cult leader he voted for is on the verge of destroying our republic by ignoring the roles of the other 2 co-equal branches of government.

Sorry. Don't mean to be disrespectful, but do you seriously believe this? Hard to fathom. Most folks apparently don't buy what you are selling based on the last election.

Rooting out government waste and excess is hardly revolutionary (well, maybe in recent years). If failing to accept the Executive and his designees control over the actions of Executive branch agencies are in question, then we are in deep trouble Constitutionally.

KE- I think you're missing something here. There are three supposedly co-equal branches of government. If Congress passes a law creating US AID, appropriates funds for it and directs where those funds are to go, the Executive doesn't just get to kill the agency. Just because Congress (read: Republicans) is too scared to exert its prerogative doesn't mean that the Executive can just do anything it wants. And I can't think of any issue that has been litigated thus far where the courts have sided with Trump's interpretation of his powers.

As for fraud and waste 1) fraud is one thing but who decides what is waste and excess? Is feeding starving kids around the globe wasteful? How about PEPFAR? How about clinical trials and other scientific research? How about farm subsidies? I imagine you and I might agree on some issues but disagree on others. 2) Congress defines what money should be spent where so if you have a beef with how your tax dollars are spent your issue is with Congress.

The average American does not want to see the government either waste a bunch of money or be defrauded. But the President's powers to address this are more limited than Trump seems to believe. And I think you are assigning to Trump the most benevolent intentions that could be imagined.

Given the lack of education in this country and the inability of a majority of people to discern fact from fiction from rumor from lie, it's no longer relevant to assume much of anything if your evidence for it is solely that a majority of people believe or think it.

Local - your point is taken but there were some laws passed establishing USAID and transforming its structure. Regardless Congress still appropriates funds and then we get into issues of impoundment where Executive powers are exceptionally limited.

Still one of the world's leading specialists in fake medicine, she has enjoyed spending the last few weeks resting after serving as leader of the free world for four challenging years.
 

There is truth to this one...

The 46th President of the United States, who served in office from 2021-2025, passed away peacefully in his Delaware home in 2018.
 
Foreign Assistance Act followed by executive order to create USAID, correct? Can’t imagine JFK and Congress reaction to funding Sesame Street in Iran, DEI in starving nations,etc. Don’t want to get in the weeds on this issue, as always some good , some bad, and some absolutely “ you got to me kidding me”.

Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 established USAID as an "independent establishment" outside of the U.S. Department of State.. So Congress created the current structure and passes appropriations bills to fund it.

Reasonable people can probably agree that US AID does a lot of good and important stuff. Also don't want to get in the weeds, but doesn't it make more sense to do a review of programs before trying to kill the whole thing?

And that assumes that Congress has a say and the Executive can't simply blow everything up.

As with most things, you have to look at the circumstances to ensure understanding of the whys vs headlines or soundbites. For me, I would rather have Sesame Street teaching the alphabet to Iraqi children over ISIS.

Aware of the FARRA, funding and oversight of the USAID. Obviously very little if any oversight by any administration.
 
35 trillion in debt with an annual deficit exceeding 1 trillion. Don't see how teaching Iraqi children the alphabet helps correct this. Stop digging. Let's get serious about, often painful, structural changes.
 
USAID is a pimple on the problem. Yes, it is a legit start but the real debt reduction money exists in areas already proclaimed sacrosanct - defense, social security, medicare. Of course the extension of the tax cuts exacerbates that.
 
In 2022, the bottom 50% of taxpayers earned 11.5% of total AGI while paying 3% of total personal Federal income taxes.

In 2022, the top 1% of taxpayers earned 22.4% of total AGI while paying 40.4% of total personal Federal income taxes.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 imposed a minimum 15% corporate tax on adjusted financial statement income (AFSI).
 
Nearly 50 companies in the S&P 500, including Tesla (TSLA), 3M (MMM) and Airbnb (ABNB), reported paying no income tax expense in 2023, says an Investor's Business Daily analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence and MarketSurge. The 15% minimum only applies if the dorp has over a billion in profit. (not income)

BTW are you OK with earners from 2% to 51% paying 56.6% of all personal Federal income taxes? (your numbers)
 
Think that would be 51 to 99% paying 56.6% in 2022.

To update, the 2024 stats show top 50% paying 97.7% and bottom 50% paying 2.3% of Federal personal income taxes. Appears to blow a hole in the never defined "fair share" argument.

Corporations pay what the law requires, neither party seems much interested in closing loopholes (might cost them campaign contributions).

As said before, it is a spending problem, not a revenue problem and as Spiderwiz pointed out we cannot cut our way out of this without breaking promises. This does not mean this Administration's efforts to improve efficiency should be vilified through pure political posturing.
 
I agree we have a spending problem, last balanced budget was Clinton. But also feel no person or company, above poverty level should pay zero income taxes.
