This is strange in my humble view.<\/p>\n

What passes for “normal” in the White House has become the stuff of feature articles in magazines and newspapers. The Hill, which covers Capitol Hill, published an article this week that talks about how “normal” life has become in the White House since President Biden took over from, oh … you know.<\/p>\n

It’s kinda bizarre.<\/p>\n

Normal now includes daily presidential briefings, which Donald Trump couldn’t stand. Trump called them a waste of his time, which if you think about it, he probably was right; he needed that time to send out Twitter pronouncements and hurl insults at his foes.<\/p>\n

As The Hill reported: \u201cIt\u2019s so funny – I hear from friends on both sides of the aisle how cleansing it is to wake up in the morning without feeling that the day will be inflamed by a crazy tweet,\u201d said former Rep.\u00a0Steve Israel<\/a><\/span>, who served as the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in the Obama era. \u201cEven people who disagree with President Biden say that at least we\u2019re back to normal.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Biden doubles down on normal at White House | TheHill<\/a><\/p>\n

President and Mrs. Biden attended church on their first Sunday living in the White House. That, too, is going to become part of the first couple’s routine. So, um, very normal.<\/em><\/p>\n

What we are witnessing is the re-creation of an executive branch of government built on long-standing practices, procedures and principles that President Biden knows well, given his immense U.S. Senate and vice-presidential pedigree. Donald Trump entered the only public office he ever sought with no such experience or understanding and, oh brother, it showed.<\/p>\n

I welcome the return of normal. I also look forward to the day when it no longer is newsworthy.<\/p>\n\n
