    What?

    You know Biden is in the executive and not legislative branch…

    Right?

    And even if Biden was writing this law himself, why does he need the same guy to come back 8 times in 8 months?

    Reporters grilled press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre during a press briefing over reports that indicated visitor logs showed a neurologist specializing in Parkinson’s disease was at the White House eight times over an eight month period, including for a meeting with presidential physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor.

    If the doc was meeting with the people writing the law, why was he going to the White House?

      Presidents often propose legislation, usually while holding frequent discussions and meetings with subject-matter experts. Well, Democratic ones do, anyway. Republicans usually just focus on regulatory capture.

      To meet and discuss Parkinsons research?

      Seriously, presidents propose legislation all the time. Did you sleep through the entire four years of Trump promising to deliver a healthcare plan? Did you forget why the one signed by Obama is frequently called “Obamacare?”
