Biden…A president, a real President…finally! A real President with caring, with empathy, with a will to achieve the goals he has set for himself and all of us, a real President who is going to do the work that needs to be done, …a real President who won’t be twiddling his thumbs and trying to think up petty nicknames for enemies, or charging taxpayers for weekly golf excursions….wow…I really didn’t think we would ever have a real President again in my lifetime.
Republicans HAVE to lie.. When people are given a choice of two statements on issues that actually affect their everyday life, one that describes the Republican position and the other the Democrat’s, the Democratic position is chosen by about 80% of Democrats and Independents. No surprise there. The weird part is that just under half of Republicans also choose Democrat positions, unless they are told which position is supported by each party. Then they fall into line and choose the Republican option- 78% of the time. So, it is entirely reasonable for Republicans to lie a lot. The people running the Republican party are in that half of the Republicans who actually believe in Republican positions. They are roughly 25% of the voting public. They have no chance of ever winning a national election unless they keep as many people as possible from voting and keep the rest of them confused enough to vote against their own best interests.
Republican calls for “unity” on the heels of a violent partisan attack on the Capitol is a new benchmark for chutzpa. Possibly Biden’s remarks along similar lines unpack as, “Unity would certainly be nice, but we have some work to do, first”.

What’s that saying? “United we stand, Divided we fall”.

Well, the Repubs started copying Biden’s message after the 6th, so…I guess we’ve already achieved it!!!!

Biden is older than me and I don’t think I could have stood and given a great speech and partied all day and night. Wow.

Keep in mind that when Obama tried to meet the republicans half way they backed up.

Meanwhile, the right is mightily trying to deflate that ball…

We finally have a President (Ah! So nice to write the word without an asterisk!) who’s got some balls!

Another visual would be that of Biden rolling that ball up a very steep hill. I hope he succeeds.

Not a balancing act. Get rid of those who want to destroy the country, and unity will happen on its own.
