Well…I think any of us who have followed Joe Biden at all in his career would have expected more of the same style of centrist incremental politics that he has practiced his whole life…til now. His 8 months in office have shown us a bold Biden, one who has ended the war in Afghanistan without listening to the people who got and kept us there for 20 years….an now he is pushing for 45% of all of our energy to come from solar in the next 10 years…and the one thing we aren’t seeing is him apologizing for any of his actions or trying to cajole people to understand…just yesterday, he gave a speech saying: “we’re going to protect our vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers” as he announce a vaccine mandate for all companies with more than 100 workers…and he wasn’t done there…he went after the stupid repubs who are trying to get people killed with their laws against mask mandates and vaccine mandates for schools and bluntly called out the repubs who are trying to take money from schools for protecting children and promised he had their backs…and he made it abundantly clear that he is done with the bullshit repubs who whine and whine and do nothing but make things worse…and the refreshing thing to me is that there seems to be little political calculation in any of this…it’s just Joe doing the right thing for the right reasons and that is the kind of politician I can get behind…you go Joe!

Biden has done nothing to help people?
Well…I guess Americans are just stupid or ignorant or both…according to a poll that came out in the past few days, over 50% of Americans believe that Joe Biden has done nothing to help their lives get better…cripes, do these 50% have amnesia? Do they not remember the 1400 dollar check they got earlier in the year? I wonder if many of these folks have kids? Do they not recognize the 300 dollar monthly credit they get for each kid? Or how about getting vaccines into the arms of almost 200 million Americans? Or the billions of dollars to fix up schools and help local school districts deal with the pandemic? Or the expansion of the SNAP program that made many more people eligible for food aid? I could go on and on about all of the things this administration has done to make life better but I wonder why no one else knows these things? There are many other things that are in the pipeline that will continue to make life better for working people and we retirees…how about expansion of Medicare to cover dental, vision, and hearing care? I thing the dems have a messaging problem and need to get over it…they need to make sure that people know what they are doing for them and be proud of it….they are making this country better for the little guy and that is a good thing…geez…
Joe biden woke up this morning…repubs think he should resign for it..
Well…I am just amazed at what the repubs think Joe Biden should resign for….no, not really…those hypicritic idiots are all over the news baying about Afghanistan and how screwed up the withdrawal is so Biden should resign…funny, they never mentioned resigning for the previous guy when he committed treason against the US, or extorted an ally to fake some dirt on Joe…or the fact that over 100,00 people have already been evacuated and we are getting down to the last of them a week before the deadline….if idiot boy had done that Hannity and the rest of them would be proposing he get a Nobel peace prize. Look, these morons are going to keep calling for Joe’s resignation if he wakes up in the morning or has lunch…and the news has to treat it that way….as the ridiculous bullshit that it is….geez….
Biden to the rescue…
Well…as you’ve read here, the asshole repub governors of Texas and Florida are doing everything they can to get teachers and kids sick by forbidding any mask or vaccine mandates while threatening them with loss of pay and state funding for any school that tries to protect their staff or kids….but yesterday Joe Biden had his education secretary send a letter DeSantis of Florida telling him that any funding he cuts will be made up by the feds, essentially taking that threat away from him and doing the right thing by the staff and kids of the state of Florida…and that funding will be sent directly to the school districts so DeSantis can’t screw with the funding like he did with the 7 billion dollars Florida got from the coronavirus relief package and never gave to the schools just so he could have leverage to force people to die for his being an asshole. Look, if repub governors want to try to make sure their people die by forbidding them from using life saving equipment and vaccines by mandate, then Biden will do everything in his power to help the unfortunate residents of Florida and Texas who really would prefer not to have their governors kill them…geez…
Finally, a push for voting rights…
Well…after the repubs spent the first 6 months after the election trying to prevent dem voters from voting by almost 300 voter suppression laws, it looks like Joe is finally getting the idea that this is the most important thing to get done…part of the new emphasis I think came from the 50 dem Texas legislators who fled the state to DC to prevent the worst laws of all of them from being passed there…and who have been threatened with arrest from Texas’ governor for their actions. This afternoon, Joe is giving what is being called the most important speech of his administration and will be calling out the repubs as the un American pricks they are….and here’s the thing, they really are trying to steal the country since they have no ideas that anyone except for their rabid base likes…taxing the rich to pay for infrastructure and elder care is supported by 80% of Americans and yet that was the first thing the repubs wanted out of the infrastructure bill….and making it harder to vote is only supported by their fox news watching cult followers…where more than 65% of Americans want voting easier. So, as with the rest of us on the left, we need to keep up the pressure on every legislator to pass this voter protection legislation…or we will lose our democracy forever….geez…
A few things…
Well…darn, just finished up all the work I had to do today and it’s almost 2pm….one little thing that has been under the radar after it was announced last week is the fact that Joe Biden’s administration is going to go after monopolies and consolidation in business and is going to be much less inclined to approve mergers that lead to it. I really hope he addresses the consolidation in the media, too, since I think there are about 4 companies that control all of the radio in this country….I guess even fox news is getting tired of trump lying about his election loss and they even ran a streamer basically saying there was not voter fraud in the 2020 election while the idiot boy was giving a speech to the q anon convention over the weekend….or I wonder if it is the 2 billion dollar plus lawsuits that are still pending from the voting machine companies they have been slandering since before the election…..the sanctions hearing that is going on here in Michigan about the unfounded lawsuits that trump lawyers brought about the election trying to overturn the results and appear to be entirely based on the fevered dreams of repub voters is not going well for them….at the very least the judge thinks the lawyers should have checked to see if they were true before filing the suits but the opposing lawyers think they shouldn’t have to…and it has devolved into a shouting match that is not a thing any smart lawyer would avoid…but trump’s lawyers have never been too smart….that’s it for now…
Is there any wonder why religion is dying?
Well….yeah, that title may be a little misleading since this is really just about catholic bishops here in the US who are voting to withhold communion from Joe Biden, but the hypocrisy that this action shows is spread through all religion here in the US and across the world. These right wing bishops, who were perfectly fine with the idiot trump and the fact that he was the opposite of Joe Biden, are taking this action to highlight that Joe does support a woman’s right to choose…but it’s more than that…like almost every damn religion, they have taken a turn to be a refuge for hard right thinking and have strayed away from the teachings that underpin their religions…and let’s remember, the catholics spent decades protecting pedophile priests across the world and, to me, they have no moral authority left…and let’s remember another thing, religion in general here in the US don’t pay any taxes and to keep that tax free status, they have to stay out of politics…but this is a purely political act that is meant to damage Joe and give the repubs talking points to attack him in the next election….so , if you wonder why religion is dying here in the US, you just have to look at actions like these that should appall anyone who cares about hypocrisy…it appears to be a poison that is eating religion here from it’s core….geez…
Isn’t it nice?
Well…if you have been following the media coverage of Joe Biden’s first overseas trip as I have, I’m sure you’ve had this same thought…isn’t it nice to have a normal, competent president instead of an ignorant blowhard? No controversies, no pushing other world leaders out of the way so he could get to the front of the picture, no threats, and other world leaders actually wanting to meet Joe…and listening to him, and smiling…and accomplishing real progress on trade by solving the Airbus/Boeing problems that will level the playing field in the EU for Boeing. I don’t remember once where the idiot boy made anyone smile other than when they were mocking him for being a boorish fool…and not one person ever said they looked forward to working with the moron after they met him once…and really, no one could stand him and how much he lied….could you imagine Joe ever not visiting a military cemetery because it was raining? Or calling the soldiers buried there “losers” and not understanding why they sacrificed for their country? I am just relieved that we don’t have to cringe anymore when the president travels and the polls show that the world is relieved that Joe Biden is president and the friends that were pushed aside for the autocrats that trump loved are the most relieved….I am, too…
Joe is finally wising up…
Well…it’s nice to see that Joe Biden is finally wising up to the modern republicans and is going to go it alone to try to get his infrastructure plan passed….just yesterday he gave up trying to “negotiate” with them and I think he is finally realizing that they don’t give a damn about making American lives better, they just want to make sure he isn’t successful…no matter who it hurts. I think Joe needs to forget all of the times in the past when he could work across the aisle…back when repubs were semi sane and at least tried to look like they cared about people other than the rich….but the crazy has taken over the party and ignorance now is a badge of honor as is lying, cheating, and stealing…oh, and hate…can’t forget the hate that oozes out of every one of those slimy bastards…so, good on ya, Joe…now try to get the other Joe to listen to you and act like a dem for a change….Manchin is almost as bad s the damn repubs…geez…
Don’t they have anything better to do?
Well….man, don’t these morons on the right have anything better to do? The latest conspiracy that all of the right wing nut jobs have seized on is that Joe Biden wasn’t driving the Ford electric truck that he was shown driving earlier in the week…and they think that Ford made a truck with two steering wheels so it would look like he was driving but Biden is too old and feeble to drive at all…never mind that he walked over to the truck and climbed in on his own…it is driving that he can’t do. There were even blurry photos that these morons say show a second steering wheel when the picture actually shows a camera sitting on the dash that a SS agent is reaching for to keep it from hitting the floor as Joe floors it…look, it these idiots want to compare Joe to the idiot trump, just look at the video of trump sitting at the wheel of a truck at the WH, not even touching the steering wheel but play driving like a 5 year old would…which one shows competency more? I’ll take the guy that gets in a fast truck and mats the gas…grinning all the time since he is not allowed to drive his 427 Corvette since he became president….those are the rules for presidents….and those on the right are just too stupid to know….
