Biden's Schedule for Thursday, April 1, 2021

I had been thinking of no longer posting of these threads, on the grounds of what's so interesting about someone who gets up in the morning, goes to work, breaks for lunch, goes back to work, stops for the day, has some dinner, and goes to bed?

It turns out that people are reading these, so I'll keep posting them for a while.

...is that the VP attends his briefings just in case...

She is aware of everything.

This was not true of Harry Truman, who became a great President despite having the world fall on him while having no information.

In these times, and given the Predident's age, this is very important.

Kamala has been to daily luncheons and daily briefings. This is the way it should be.

I'm sure this doesn't mean swimming in the WH pool. Is he taking calls from pool side, but only from people "In Town"?

What does this mean???

Each network/media outlet has a few reporters covering the White House full time and those are referred to as a pool. It's not specified which ones because it may shift from day to day or even from morning to afternoon to evening.
