Did you notice........

[OAITW r.2.0]

the lack of mandatory ego polishing that the Biden team noted in their remarks? A brief thanks to Biden for picking them, but way more focused on their backgrounds and plans.

It's like Joe doesn't need public displays of fealty because he is secure in his own person. Nice to have a confident man rather than a con man in charge.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

1. Humble, secure, and empathetic people do not have egos.

Trump possesses none of these attributes.

[rickyhall]

7. Just like real president.

[PJMcK]

17. Well, everyone has an ego

It's a fundamental part of our psyches.

But I get your point. Trump is the neediest, weakest man I've ever seen and his constant need for affirmation is disgusting.

President-Elect Biden has a secure, mature and balanced psyche. It's a wonderful feeling to know that our soon-to-be president is a grownup and not a petulant man-child.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

20. Joe does not have an "I" problem....

Nor does he have a chip on his shoulder. His Grandpop smacked that right off when he was a kid. Made an impression on him at an early age.

[c-rational]

21. About the ego, you are correct-everyone has one. I have also heard it described as original sin.

I have often said anyone in public service should be able to define it, and I like the Japanese Zen monk who said when asked how much ego is good - Just enough to keep you from stepping in front of a bus.

[whopis01]

27. The terminology is odd, isn't it?

A person "having an ego" often means that the person has a fragile ego, is not confident and constantly needs affirmation.

Almost ends up meaning the opposite of what is said.

[Delarage]

2. I was just thinking that

I also don't feel the need to run off and see the money connections....how these people were going to monetize the position or how Trump would make money off of it.

[WA-03 Democrat]

3. WHAT?

So no more opening 20 minute round table singing praises of Dear Leader?

[Poiuyt]

18. That was the most nauseating display I've ever seen.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. Whenever Trump's people did that for him, I couldn't help but think of...

...this scene from Dexter.

(Warning: NSFW Language!)

[sandensea]

5. Needy Amin must be shocked

"And why didn't they thank me for making America great again!"

[a kennedy]

6. AND I'm sure they didn't HAVE TO SIGN A NDA. eom

[lunatica]

8. Trump did all Biden's work to be recognized and embraced!

Thanks Trump!

The contrast couldn’t be more stark. All Biden has to do is be his normal self.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

9. I NOTICE ONE WHOLE MORNING OF NOT HEARING ABOUT OR

THINKING ABOUT THE ANOMALY KNOWN AS DONALD TRUMP!

Yeah,, shouting! IM JUST SO HAPPY!!!!!

[Mr.Bill]

10. How long will it take some republican

to say they're all Communists?

[Politicub]

11. It made me cry. He is what a real leader looks like. Doesn't

need to take credit. The results that his team will create will speak louder than hollow fealty pledges.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

12. I'd bet they were coached on what not to say:

"Thank you, Mr President Elect, sir, for this opportunity for me to serve your agenda, sir."

Any o' youse bums sez that, you'll be lookin' fer work tomorra.

[TinCup]

13. In Fact

In fact they went out of their way to say that their loyalty was to the American people.

[PatSeg]

14. And very humble as well

He never pretends to be anything he's not and knows what he doesn't know.

[MyOwnPeace]

15. And today IQ45 was seen

running (well, not running!) into the press room at the White House to take credit for the Dow going over 30,000.
Stupid A$$ doesn't realize that the Dow is rising because HE LOST!!!!!

[spooky3]

19. Yes. It's fun to look at the rise in the S&P since a few days after the election. Nt

[Dem2]

16. Confident versus con-federate nt

[BobTheSubgenius]

22. Even having a "man" in charge would be a vast improvement.

A YUUUGE step up from a over a petulant, churlish and cruel 8 year old. Oh, I forgot entitled. I'm sure it wouldn't have escaped those assembled here, though.

[Roland99]

23. You know what would have been funny? If they ALL mocked trump's sycophants

and did that fawning over Biden

OMG...RWNJ heads would have exploded nationwide!

[keithbvadu2]

24. Sycophants on parade ...

Sycophants on parade ...

Towards the end, Reince Priebus became one of the major suck-ups in the room saying, "On behalf of the entire senior staff around you, Mr. President, we thank you for the opportunity and blessing you've given us to serve your agenda and the american people and we're continuing to work very hard every day to accomplish those goals."

[Larissa]

26. Gawd awful

I forgot about those revolting cabinet meetings where everyone around the table had to give undying praise to Trump. All, if I recall correctly, except the Generals.

[keithbvadu2]

25. Donald gets so much praise from his sycophants that God is merely an afterthought.
