Joe Biden's audacious gambles
CNN
The President set a pattern of making big bets in January, days before he took office, by outlining a huge Covid relief package amounting to $1.9 trillion and then topped it last month with a proposal for a $2 trillion infrastructure bill. On Wednesday he made another one by announcing he would pull all US troops out of Afghanistan, a decision his predecessors were tempted to make, but didn't.
"Life is a gamble, at terrible odds," says another character near the end of the 1966 play, "if it was a bet you wouldn't take it."The judge who oversaw Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial in New York on Friday informed the former president’s defense team and prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney’s office that a comment was posted on the New York State Unified Court Systems’ public Facebook page last week by a poster who claimed to be a cousin of a juror, saying that Trump would be convicted.
