Stefanie Feldman, a longtime Biden aide, will serve in a leading role.

President Joe Biden will announce the creation of the first-ever federal office of gun violence prevention on Friday, fulfilling a key demand of gun safety activists as legislation remains stalled in Congress, according to two people with direct knowledge of the White House’s plans.

Stefanie Feldman, a longtime Biden aide who previously worked on the Domestic Policy Council, will play a leading role, the people said.

Greg Jackson, executive director of the Community Justice Action Fund, and Rob Wilcox, the senior director for federal government affairs at Everytown for Gun Safety, are expected to hold key roles in the office alongside Feldman, who has worked on gun policy for more than a decade and still oversees the policy portfolio at the White House. The creation of the office was first reported by The Washington Post.

      I sure can, the question is can you accept that the last two Presidents are dipshit puppets?

            Wait, what? What is this about? I’m asking about all this “recent footage” of the guy sleeping on the job and all I get is some biased YouTuber really stretching the truth and blatantly misrepresenting pieces of footage for what could have many interpretations about him. I could gather footage of most world leaders alive who have fumbled, tripped, or randomly paused mid-speech, edit it and make them look really dumb. But all I’m seeing is that what you’re accusing Biden of is simply not true and that it comes from Trump. The topic is the moniker “sleepy Joe” in case we forgot what we’re talking about.

            Listen, I’m not here to take the man’s side–he’s not even my president. But you guys really seem like you get off on making things up about him for the sake of it. Let’s be grown ups and speak about things that have actually happened instead of falling for the lying orange man’s circlejerk. Why is Biden “sleepy”? My question was dead-simple.

              Are any of the points brought up in that video invalid? He’s sleepy, senile, and useless as a leader. Seems like you’re real defensive, but I don’t know why. Whoever secures the nominations on either party doesn’t give a shit about you or what you think, and goes on to do what they’re told. Obama was the rare outlier that actually did good things while being articulate and skilled at addressing a crowd. He may have had his puppet strings too, but he was at least respectible. Biden’s a pathetic joke, and I don’t see any good coming out of the next election cycle.

                I think you’ve missed the entire point and willingly ignored what I’m trying to get at, which is making false statements about the people you don’t like. And yes, there are plenty in those videos, because they could have various interpretations.

                And just like I’m supposedly very defensive for trying to ground this in truth, you’re very aggressive about keeping up the lies. Get it through your head that this isn’t exactly about politics.

                So I guess we can all agree that the sleepy Joe thing is not real and it’s yet another conservative lie, as always.
