I know this will be hard to believe, but:

Shocking news to wake up to. Trump had literally NO VACCINATION PLAN.

No plans to distribute it, no plans to acquire it. No plans to manage it.

We are literally starting at square one today.

As I listened to her during Joe Biden's inauguration, that thought crossed my mind. This is one truly gifted young woman, with a tremendous ability to inspire.

It’s weird to see or hear “White House issues...” or “White House says....” on the news and not immediately think “what are these lying sleazeballs up to now?” I’m so conditioned to immediately not trust anything that starts with “White House” now it’s hard to break.

Such a change.

I've never been happier to watch an entire inauguration ceremony, nor have I ever been happier to see a new President signing executive order after executive order, uprooting in a matter of hours many of the most dangerous and unfortunate political turns his predecessor took over the past 4 years.

It actually feels good to be an American right now. It's been a while.

George W Bush and Donald John Trump are perfect examples of it takes more than a notion to lead the greatest nation on the planet. Bush didn't cause that to sink in, maybe Trump will. Though they're sometimes despicable I think it takes a politician to get it done correctly. A child can't run a candy shop.

Which is why Biden's transition team wasn't allowed to be involved for weeks. If they were, they'd discover there's no plan.

Snowflake Rand Paul upset hearing the truth hurt his feefees

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/rand-paul-suggest-bidens-address-painted-gopers-as-liars-and-white-supremacists

Quote:
“If you read his speech and listen to it carefully, much of it is thinly-veiled innuendo calling us white supremacists, calling us racist, calling us every name in the book. Calling us people who don’t tell the truth,” Paul told Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade in an interview late Wednesday.


If the shoe fits, Rand.

Also Biden didn’t call out anyone specifically in his speech. So if his speech made you feel called out, it may be time for a little introspection.

Dems need to pass laws which stop causing minorities to be over-represented in the crime and incarceration statistics. That's a roundabout way of combating the white judiciaries.

He had a plan. He was going to reveal it in 2 weeks along with his health plan and taxes. Unfortunately, his time in office ran out before he could.

Biden is leading by example. Unlike Trump most times when you see him on TV he's wearing a mask. That will make a difference.

Y'all...these Q Nuts. This is from a blog that I frequent. This guy has been talking about the Democrats getting arrested for MONTHS. It's like Trump with his TrumpCare Plan coming out in 2 weeks. It's always in 30 days, 30 days, Obama, Clinton, Biden, all the congress members will be rounded up by the military.

Quote:

Doesn't matter. Trump will still be our president and he will be sworn in March 4 which is the real inauguration date. This is the reason the military is still staying in DC with enough supplies and vehicles to last 2 months. they used "dangerous trump supporters" as a cover to be able to sneak that much military into DC. The military will take over for about 30 days, show the country all the evidence of election fraud, child trafficking, Barack's real identity all before handing the country back to Donald Trump the rightful winner. Trump won 47 states before they started flipping the machines.

I think it would only take a simple majority to add more federal judges. I don't know if Manchin's there yet, but bribe him with subsidized rural broadband in West Virginia or something.

Let the heat die down a bit and then ask for his resignation in 2-3 years.

McConnell is really playing chicken over the filibuster and I hope it pisses Manchin off enough to call Mitch's bluff.

@StevenTDennis
McConnell on Senate floor both makes clear Republicans are prepared to block a lot of Biden's agenda while simultaneously insisting Schumer commit to preserving the filibuster rule, which enables them to do just that.

Manchin is interested in things for Manchin. Rural broadband won’t get him re-elected if he’s seen as going along with socialists.

When I read things like what's in the article it sends chills up and down my spine. It's very difficult to fathom how gullible some people are. Where are these people? They must live in the deepest woods with little contact with the real world. SMH
