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.

    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.
