When the post was posted for Thursday, President Biden had tweeted 1 time. He added 4 tweets giving him a Vacation Thursday Tweeting Total of 5 tweets and 0 retweets.
The video is 1 minute and 30 seconds long.
President Biden: Well folks, we’re wrapping up one of the most productive–one of the most productive legislative sessions in decades. Today we’ve got 65–65 bipartisan bills for me to sign into law. Ready? Get set. Go.
From the 16 second mark to the 50 second mark they speed up the footage of him signing each bill into law. There is no talking just dramatic fast paced music.
President Biden: Finished. What’s the time?
Someone off camera shots the time: 10 minutes and 41 seconds.
We get more dramatic music with the all caps bold words; PRESIDENT BIDEN GETS IT DONE FOR WORKING FAMILIES, to end the video.
You can find a link to all 65 bills signed into law in Wednesday’s Biden Bits.
Some other tweets saying goodbye to Pelé.
For some odd reasons the above tweet from Boy George is showing in WordPress as may include “sensitive content”. FFS it’s a picture of him with Pelé. Now in fairness maybe Boy George marks his images as such himself. I don’t know. But really, it’s just a photo.
Pelé was 82 years old.
