Apparently they have also offered temporary protected status to anyone from Myanmar who is in the USA as a student or the like, so they don't have to go back to the chaos in Myanmar.

Oh that is such good news on Myanmar. I've been there, wonderful country, got a friend over there who is keeping in touch.
It all sounds so awful.

I know we aren't allowed to say that Republicans tend to be uneducated, but surely the fact that college graduates are more likely to vote Democrat does seem to make it look that way?

Interesting article. Texas, Arizona and Georgia probably tell the same story.

I can't see Sarah Huckabee Sanders without seeing the incredible impression of her done by Nina West, a contestant in the 11th season of RuPaul's drag race. It was masterful.

(If you're bored and don't mind drag, the episode of a musical based on the characters of the Trump team, it's very entertaining)

Josh Marshall @Joshtpm

We thought Trump would keep disrupting and dominating news cycles from his virtual mountaintop in Florida. Instead he's all but disappeared and occasional photos show a husk of a man doing meet and greets at his resort. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/what-ha… via @TPM

Jen Psaki again Grin

WH Press Sec. Jen Psaki says the administration would support vaccine promotion from former President Trump, but emphasizes that other former presidents “did not need an engraved invitation to do so.”

I love the shade Jen throws. Class !

Anniegetyourgun · 15/03/2021 21:56

I confess to a girl crush on Jen. However I suspect there's a very long queue. That wicked smile she does while some reporter is asking a dumb question, sort of "come into my parlour, little fly", and when they've finished burbling she fillets them neatly with a silver pocket knife. No wonder they're calling for Boss Joe to do press conferences - they must feel he'd give them an easier ride! (They could be wrong about that.)

Roussette · 15/03/2021 22:12

What a fantastic description Annie, yes!

I have the crush too... she's just great in all sorts of ways

Anniegetyourgun · 15/03/2021 22:33

Mind you we'd probably fall in love with any press secretary who could manage to tell the truth without tripping over the scenery.

Roussette · 16/03/2021 12:43

Mary Trump... this sounds about right...

I am simply very glad that recent photographs of 45 show a man shrunken and unwell-looking, and one who no longer bother to try to conceal the weakness of his chin or puny nature of his shoulders. It seems right that this should be so.

Do we need two queues Smile ?

It's hard not to feel she's channelling a touch of the Elizabeth Tudors for some reason. Maybe the hair ?

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate on Monday confirmed New Mexico Rep. Deb Haaland as interior secretary, making her the first Native American to lead a Cabinet department and the first to lead the federal agency that has wielded influence over the nation’s tribes for nearly two centuries.

It does look like he's lost some weight, too.

I also notice that he doesn't appear to be standing with that 'leaning forward' posture that made him look like he was trying to hold in a poo. Maybe he's not wearing his lifts these days.

DH and I laughed like drains when Sarah Huckleberry Slanders was Oh! So ! Surprised! at Doofus' 'sudden' appearance at her Arkansas Gov's campaign event.....in Florida.....at Mar a Lago. Anyone who believed that must have just fallen off the turnip wagon.
