Biden came into power and literally rescued the country from its own incompetence, at that of an insanely popular (actually insane) "president."

At the beginning, I only hoped he would be a reasonable placeholder, but he proved to be an extraordinary president at an extraordinary time. There are things I wished daily that he'd done better, and being publicly and vocally opposed to tRump and stupidity is a huge one. He came from a very different school of politics and could never get a handle on how to push back against the corruption and lies. Nevertheless, he managed some major, hugely beneficial changes, in spite of a recalcitrant Senate in the first half, and an obstructive and objectively stupid Republikkkan majority in the second half.

Now, close to the end of a historic presidency, I'm a little awestruck by his intelligence and selflessness (that's not something I am prone to). I was terrified that the Democrats would revert to their hand-wringing and sometimes self-destructive behavior when Biden withdrew; I've NEVER been soooooo happy to be wrong!

There's a lot of work ahead, and the Republikkkans aren't going to go quietly back into their musty, angry little closets. They've spent more than forty years planning for this moment, and they'll lie, cheat and steal, probably in ways we can't yet plan for. We have to be ready!

Jordan, you seem to take put shots at President Biden in this most recent article. Biden has been a long-time union supporter, whether the rest of the country was feeling the same or not. Just because Biden is old, doesn't mean his mind isn't sharp. He has demonstrated throughout his years in office that he cares about workers and tries to help them out. Belittling him because he got old isn't a good look for you.

Where did I belittle him because he got old? I said he has been great for unions in this article.

Union workers supporting Trump makes as much sense as Log Cabin Republicans. Talk about voting against your self interest!
