He doesn't get nearly the recognition that he deserves. We have been so lucky to have him.

quick, efficient handling of covid vaccine production and distribution.

He showed us courage when he insisted on having his inauguration in the traditional way, outdoors in public despite numerous threats against him after the January 6 failed coup by the fascist Trump.

He would not have turned Gaza into an elite resort for the wealthy.

He gave us an example of integrity and decency that is in glaring opposition to the self-serving fascist in the WH today.

Joe's legacy will still live on well into the future despite the fascist's attempts to undo it.

We were blessed to have Joe leading us and the world. He made it a better place throughout his lifetime of public service.

A truly great man.

at a rally in their white shirts with their sleeves rolled up, wearing sunglasses and bounding up the stairs and onto the stage with their genuine smiles. It made you feel good. Helps me to remember what can be as we keep forcing the fight and keep persisting, insisting and resisting authoritarian onslaught.

Trump is the Saturday morning cartoon villain we all grew up with who wants to make over the world to suit his needs.
He picks only the best people.

Seems that they were even projecting that..

We have to investigate everything that comes out of their mouths from now on. We should have been harping about the "Sleepy Don Trump".

We are not in charge of the government, republicans are. Perhaps the American people should think about those camps and vote in November.

They want to be famous on TikTok or they are following someone on twitter or facebook. They will get involved when it affects them personally and they can identify the culprit who is causing them harm, until then they aren’t political or both sides. This filth bag was a disaster the first time and they re elected him.

so smoothly for the most part, that people just weren't paying attention. Apparently the American public AND the MSM need a lot of drama, always looking for the bad without acknowledging the good.
