In the interview, Stephanopoulos asked Biden if he thinks Putin “is a killer.”

“Mmm hmm, I do,” Biden responded.

Before issuing the discussion challenge, Putin reacted to Biden’s comment earlier with a playground retort: “I know you are, but what am I.”

“You know, I remember, in childhood, when we were arguing with each other in the courtyard, we would say, ‘I know you are, but what am I,’” Putin said. “And that’s no accident. It’s not just a childish saying. There is a very deep meaning in that.”

I told you where it is.

Linkiepooh? Quote or timestamp to it? Nup. None present. Just your standard operational bullshit.

I heard Bongino make the point that making the claim that the Hunter laptop was disinformation, is disinformation.

He's the new Rush Limbaugh, so probably can be trusted to be a bit more critical of Biden, than the fawning media and sullenly delighted bureaucracy.

This is what you are questioning.

I heard Bongino say it on his last show. Enjoy it if you want to, but neither of us thinks anything in it can change your mind.

And stop telling me you need my sources, when you can't acknowledge them anyway. Remember how easily you dismiss Project Veritas? Over and over based on an old error? Tell us the story of Acorn again, Hermit, and how it proves that we should never believe anything from PV forever.

Then tell us that WaPo and their allies didn't lie about Trump's Georgia phone call. They do have plausible deniability, right?

No source, no links, zero credibility.

As usual.

[Hermit]

My debating policy is that I will accept an invitation to debate, if I think it is serious, interesting and in an appropriate forum. So far, you just don't tick enough of my boxes. Sorry Hermit.

I'm just here to answer the age-old question - Biden: Is It Over Yet?

No, it isn't. Not yet.

So many words to merely reiterate your refusal to back your assertions up with evidence.

Cut him some slack. It's not his fault he's just not 'sufficiently interested' in that kind of stuff.

[pErvinalia]

It's no wonder he's so uncritical of the right. He has no ability to research anything.

Janet Yellen wants to overhaul corporate taxes for the whole world — she's talking to other countries about a minimum rate

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has been clear since her confirmation hearing and subsequent press appearances that the Biden administration needs to raise new tax revenues. At the same time, she's warned of the difficulties of implementing a wealth tax, which is favored by the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.

Part of the solution is reforming the corporate tax rate — not just in the US but far beyond its borders.

To that end, Yellen is in active talks with other countries about setting a global minimum rate for corporate taxes, The Washington Post's Jeff Stein first reported.

The US was long an outlier, with a corporate tax rate of 35% versus the international average of 24%, until former President Donald Trump's 2017 tax cut slashed the corporate rate to 21%. But even that hasn't stopped other countries from lowering their rates to attract multinationals. The Post noted that nine countries lowered their corporate tax rate just last year.

Makes sense. It's just a race to the bottom at the moment.

The boring is a necessary correction.

I wonder how a global minimum corporate tax is easier to implement than a wealth tax.

Just put all the corporations that don't behave in jail.

Biden, still fighting the War on Drugs.

'Biden White House Sandbags Staffers, Sidelines Dozens for Pot Use'

Dozens of young White House staffers have been suspended, asked to resign, or placed in a remote work program due to past marijuana use, frustrating staffers who were pleased by initial indications from the Biden administration that recreational use of cannabis would not be immediately disqualifying for would-be personnel, according to three people familiar with the situation.

The policy has even affected staffers whose marijuana use was exclusive to one of the 14 states—and the District of Columbia—where cannabis is legal. Sources familiar with the matter also said a number of young staffers were either put on probation or canned because they revealed past marijuana use in an official document they filled out as part of the lengthy background check for a position in the Biden White House.

In some cases, staffers were informally told by transition higher-ups ahead of formally joining the administration that they would likely overlook some past marijuana use, only to be asked later to resign.

“There were one-on-one calls with individual affected staffers—rather, ex-staffers,” one former White House staffer affected by the policy told The Daily Beast. “I was asked to resign.”

“Nothing was ever explained” on the calls, they added, which were led by White House Director of Management and Administration Anne Filipic. “The policies were never explained, the threshold for what was excusable and what was inexcusable was never explained.”

In response to this news story, White House press secretary Jen Psaki tweeted out on Friday an NBC News report from February stating that the Biden administration wouldn’t automatically disqualify applicants if they admitted to past marijuana use. Psaki said of the hundreds of people hired in the administration, only five who had started working at the White House are “no longer employed as a result of this policy.”

Psaki didn’t note how many had been disqualified for a White House job before actually starting, nor did she note how many were suspended or relegated to remote work, but she did send an additional statement to The Daily Beast on Friday.

“In an effort to ensure that more people have an opportunity to serve the public, we worked in coordination with the security service to ensure that more people have the opportunity to serve than would not have in the past with the same level of recent drug use. While we will not get into individual cases, there were additional factors at play in many instances for the small number of individuals who were terminated,” Psaki said.
