Never an utterance of "suckers and losers" here!
President Biden
@POTUS
During this season of reflection, I'm filled with gratitude for the service members and veterans Ive met along the way here at the White House and across America.
It's been the honor of my life to lead you, serve you, care for you, and defend you.

(1,499 posts)... Joe's basic human decency also serves as a glaring contrast to the ingrained malice that defines conservatism.

(1,499 posts)... that the weak minds that are drawn to conservatism cannot cope with abstractions, like "other people", or issues without physical substance, or complexities beyond their limited intellectual capabilities. Their inchoate resentments need a target, so they fling poo at anything they can't or won't try to understand. And any factual information that doesn't conform to their narrow world view is "Fake News". Most of them are beyond hope or redemption. In effect, write-offs.
I have no sympathy for them, only contempt.

(60,831 posts)Jimmy Carter followed by Reagan, who at least had the facade of being a 'genial old gentleman' covering his basic meanness.
Barack Obama and Joe Biden followed by trump, who has no redeeming qualities.

(2,201 posts)Of having difficulty getting some of his benefits, until he wrote Joe. Joe called him personally and the difficulties were solved within a week or two.
I think Joe is the real thing. Hes made some mistakes, but who of us hasnt? I think especially at this point in his life hes just looking to see how much difference there is that he can make for the people who need him, thats a product of wisdom.
Its a shame he didnt get four more years to do that, it would have been hell to watch him age in his next term, but I cant help feeling like after all this, he got shivved by his own people, but hes still out there doing his job.
Ill tell you this much, we barely deserve Joe, and the maggots sure as hell dont. I hope our next person with the power to make some good trouble has more of an axe to grind.

Hard to believe folks decided Trump was the next step, but the sexism is STRONG in this country.

(14,939 posts)think he will speak to the nation before he leaves office? If he does, do you think msm will show it?
Am I misremembering, but didnt President Obama speak to the nation before he left office?

Vets better pull their heads out of their butts and start paying attention to the enemy within. They took an oath to the Constitution and their military leaders laid it out for them before the election, but the majority voted for an insurrectionist!
You can not make this stuff up.

(12,955 posts)Or least read at the grade level necessary to understand the Constitution. Also, to say "re-read" implies he read it once. Nobody knows more about the Constitution than he does, you know.

(7,997 posts)had their collective heads in their collective butt. Very savvy folks, even the generals (and I say that as a vet myself.)
Too bad MAGAts don't listen to them.
JustAnotherGen
(33,805 posts)Just love him. How lucky that I got to be on the earth as the same time as him, Obama, HRC, Bill, Gore, Carter, Harris and Mondale.
I fear that at 51 - I will never again get to see a good soul leading America.

(25,659 posts)I am beyond bereft that his time in office is coming to an end. He has worked his ass off for us, and if anyone ever deserved a second term, it is Joe Biden.

(1,219 posts)He is unequivocally one of the best presidents we have seen.
A man who never bought even a share of stock so as not to tempt himself to corruption.
Shame on our fourth estate for treating this wonderful man and excellent president so terribly. Shame!

(49,181 posts)man like Joe Biden and consistently defame him -- and a huge chunk of the American population believed the lies.
