Biden's not perfect (and who is?), but he's dealt with much adversity and tragedy throughout his life. I think Uncle Joe is exactly what this country needs right now.

Young JB was kinda hot. Although, weirdly, he seems to have more hair today than then?

Was that around the time he was resisting school integration? This little love affair you people are having is really nauseating tbh. No wonder the Demicratic party stays in business.

That's kind of creepy, but to me, more than anything it's just inexplicable. I wonder if he was answering some bizarre question, but I somehow suspect that the bizarreness is all Biden's own. None-the-less, it's lopsided to judge a person by his weakest comments without including some of his better moments too, and one of those came last night, when he declared the following:-
Quote:
I pledge to be a President who seeks not to divide, but to unify.
Who doesn't see Red and Blue states, but a United States.
And who will work with all my heart to win the confidence of the whole people.
For that is what America is about: The people.
And that is what our Administration will be about.
That sounds such a welcome change from Trump's whinging vicious conspiracy nonsense; maybe that's why some of us are posting as if a new dawn has arrived.
As Flynn, Manafort, Stone and others have clocked up a historical number of indictments associated with any US President, I've often heard commentators say that "the tone comes from the top". I don't think anyone can deny that, if nothing else, Biden is starting out with a commendable tone or vision. As OH says, let's enjoy a moment of cynicism-free optimism while we can.

Did he do that? Well, that's his bad. I'm assuming that in the how many? fifty years since, he might have changed his mind on that issue - not least because his running mate is a woman of colour and he counts the Obama family as close personal friends.

And some people here are really nauseating, and never have a positive thing to say about anything or anyone.

Do you ever address my posts unless it's to say something snarky? How about I just don't post at all. Bullies.
