President Biden is going to do something that totally slipped by his predecessor. Link here:

Biden to revive longtime presidential tradition Trump skipped

WASHINGTON — A modern presidential tradition is poised to return to the White House — at least in part.

President Joe Biden plans to host a White House ceremony this year for the unveiling of former President Barack Obama’s official portrait, according to people familiar with the discussions. And former President Donald Trump has already begun participating in the customary process so his official portrait can eventually hang alongside his predecessors, according to an aide and others familiar with the discussions.

It’s unlikely Trump would follow the tradition of having his portrait unveiled at an East Room event hosted by his successor, given his false claims that Biden didn’t legitimately win the 2020 election, people familiar with the matter said. But a formal event with Obama and his wife, Michelle, is expected to take place at the White House — likely this fall — after coronavirus restrictions have been lifted to allow for such a large gathering, these people said.


The tiny little man you so revere was consumed by jealousy of his predecessor.

Which you might know if you hadn't paid somebody else to take notes in class for you and then sit the boards.

(Why can't Republicans see through these ignorant jackasses)

It's sarcasm to be sure, but is Rubio famous for drinking a lot of water?

I don't know.

He was tasked with giving a rebuttal speech iirc, and had to stop to guzzle from a water bottle.
