Say what you will about the personal and political failings of Donald Trump, at least he was an optimist.
Along with being a cheerleader for America, he talked positively, sometimes when he shouldn't have, and he could always see the sunshine.
resident Biden is the exact opposite.
In a month he has not said anything that has uplifted the spirits of a single American who's not a member of the teachers union.
For Biden and the left-wingers he's been appointing to his Cabinet, there's no such thing as sunshine now or in our future, just pitch darkness and gloom.
They want to kill America's energy independence and keep our school rooms empty of children until the teachers say it's OK.
They want to prolong the strict COVID-19 lockdowns that have already wrecked huge swaths of our economy, wiped out most of the joy in our social lives and ruined the future for our kids and grandkids.
It's really appalling how much damage we've already allowed our federal and state governments to inflict on us in the name of protecting public health.
It's not just closing schools, restaurants, gyms and sports venues or restricting attendance at churches and synagogues.
We've got kids in kindergartens playing in their own 4-by-4-foot plastic cubes, and musicians in student orchestras practicing their instruments inside their own little green tents.
How can anyone with a gram of common sense see idiotic things like this and not conclude that the country has gone insane? No wonder suicides and drug ODs have spiked.
I'm especially surprised people in their 60s and 70s aren't killing themselves by the thousands each day.
Until the pandemic arrived, for many aging Boomers traveling was their only fun.
After decades of hard work and saving, they looked forward each year to flying to Europe or going on cruise ships for two weeks, two months, even an entire year.
As my wife the travel agent can tell you, the cruise industry has been sunk by the war on Covid.
The CDC has made it virtually impossible for cruise companies to adapt their ships to its strict and constantly changing rules.
Meanwhile, in Washington, President Biden and Dr. Fauci continue to give us no good news and nothing to look forward to.
The rapid development and production of a vaccine for CVOID-19 - an absolute miracle - and the recent sharp drop in cases and deaths should be daily cause for joy and optimism.
Yet Biden and Fauci keep moving the goal posts back.
Now they tell us the vaccine won't be enough to allow us to return to what life was like BC - Before COVID.
Fauci has basically said you can get 40 vaccine shots and wear 13 masks and you still should not visit your grandkids or you might die.
The president - our pessimist in chief - went on a CNN town hall and said we might be back to normal by Christmas.
Normal? Come on, man! America's never going back to what it was before it became the Land of Lockdowns.
Too many businesses have died. Too many workers have lost their jobs. Too many public health rules and mandates have been issued.
Plus, the Democrats in charge of blue states and cities are never going to let "normal" return. They love the new powers that the war against COVID-19 has given them too much.
So, is there any good news from the Biden administration? A little ray of sunshine in the gloom?
I think I might have seen some this morning. A bunch of Democrats in Congress reportedly sent a letter to the president wanting him to give up sole authority over the nuclear codes.
That scared the heck out of me. I don't know if it was the letter that scared me or the fact that some Democrats don't think the president has the cognitive ability to be trusted with the codes.
Either way, the big question is, what do those Democrats know - and is it good news or bad news?
Just doing what his handlers want him to do.
Possibly, Biden’s job is to put in place all the worst Leftist policies that they want, but know will result in disastrous results, that will blow back with blame.
Biden is the disposable blame sponge.
He will be well paid for it. He is so compromised, he’d have to do anything they said anyhow.
Bad news. There’s a thread on Biden’s absolute incoherence at his appearance in Texas. It’s clearly dementia-related aphasia, and he’s sinking fast...they need to get him out of there yesterday. Even the Dems don’t want to see a country get blown up when Biden doesn’t remember that the nuclear codes are not the gate code for his senior living facility.
So Far, Biden Is All Gloom and all Sundowner
Biden = Mr. Magoo
“Disposable blame sponge” is quite the apt term.
It is right up there with calling the GOP “assistant Democrats”.
Biden is that dog turd that magically appeared on your lawn in the morning.
Mostly, what he wants to kill is our our joy, what he wants to steal is our enthusiasm and what he wants to destroy is our sense of optimism.
We have the power to overcome those attacks by consciously deciding to do so.
It's our job to persuade as many people within our sphere of influence to see that they can do that as well.
It's not our fault if we fail to convince them, but it's our job to make the attempt.
As I see it, the Dem’s are playing a dangerous game here. There will come a point where everyone will be openly wondering how an old, feeble politician, from a tiny state, with no real record of accomplishment was elevated to the presidency. Honestly, even the Democrat base didn’t want him.
Leave him alone. Consider the alternative.
LOL - perfect!
;)
I think it was a typo, but once the article said “resident Biden.” I think we should use that - call him Resident Biden.
“The rapid development and production of a vaccine for COVID-19 - an absolute miracle -”
...I disagree 100%. Absolute BS.
Correct but they went with Joe because they wanted to win. Joe appears to be an old white man who's not threatening. He's like your grandfather. He conned the American public in voting for him because he claimed that he wouldn't be that radical as President.>p>Liar.
Biden was always a far leftwinger. They said the Squad and Bernie were making him go to the left, but he was always radical.
I learned early. Hang around with rich people if you can, more likely to get rich yourself.
The two self-made billionaires I have worked for and a couple others I’ve known were eternally optimistic. You had to remember this when communicating with them.
To them, everything is possible. The effort and cost to accomplish something was only tangentially relevant. It was time that mattered to them, not effort or cost. In their mind, the harder something was to achieve, the more valuable it was. Nothing would put you in disfavor more quickly than poo pooing an idea.
Sure, these guys are rich, but they will get in the trenches and get dirty to make a buck. That’s why the working class loves Trump.
The dems’ plan all along is to put all of the blame on Biden so they can replace him with Harris and portray her as a fake centrist.
No it wasn’t a typo. I left the P off on purpose as I don’t consider Biden our president. I also didn’t consider Barack Hussein 0bama our president, but only the resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
