I feel like Joe Biden should be mentioned by name in here, somewhere. Yes, he speaks slowly, and sometimes misspeaks, but he’s quietly accomplished quite a bit.

Imagine, if you will, a world where tfg won in 2020. Where would Ukraine, its president and its people be today? I have to believe China would have taken Taiwan, and tfg’s buddy in North Korea would feel free to threaten the south.

Biden absolutely has accomplished quite a bit in a mere 2 years. That window will now close with the incoming GOP House, but it's right to give credit where it's due.

I happened to be flipping thru my XM channels a day or so ago (side note: I'm a regular POTUS channel listener, if you have XM I highly recommend it, channel 124) and landed, briefly, on Mark Levin's show on the "Patriot" channel. There was a guest host in for Mark, who I assume is on vacay for the holidays, and the gentleman declared that Trump scored a larger slate of legislative victories than any other POTUS in decades. I thought to myself, "hmmmm, like what? The biggest thing I can think of is passing a massive tax cut for the wealthy." Back here on Planet Reality that award probably needs to be given to Joe Biden.

My wife voted for U.S. president for the first time in 2020. Ukraine was her only issue. She voted for Biden in both the primary and general election. I have never seen someone's vote pay off so handsomely for a single issue for a regular person.

I agree with you about Biden. He is the polar opposite of TFG. He has brought American world leadership back, appreciated just what the war in Ukraine really means. I like the fact that he speaks slowly, his history of stuttering accustoming him to putting his brain in gear before engaging his mouth (so different from the Niagara of verbiage emanating from his predecessor.). He just quietly concentrates on doing the job he was elected for, not needing floodlights and a brass band 24/7. It’s like getting a string quartet after having a band of kazoos in your ears for 4 years. Thank heaven for President Biden.

That's why I voted for him. I wanted a President who went to his office every day and did his job.

Replace the kazoos with vuvuzuelas playing the Q-Anon theme and I'm with you. 😏

How about one third kazoos, one third vuvuzelas, one third bagpipes?

Donnie doesn't deserve bagpipes.

Bagpipes are for heroes.

It's hard to bury old grudges. However, if we want a return to a respectful Congress, then everyone needs to be willing to give due credit to folks of a different political stripe. It leads directly to "I will work with that opposing political faction because the thing they want to do is good for my constituents and America."
