I'm--agree with an old state senator who always said that, If you took all the fools out of the Legislature, it would not be a representative body anymore.'

They are there because people very much like them voted them there.

I honestly believe that a lot of Uglican men -- especially young Uglican men -- look at them and think "Yeah, I'll bet she'd be a good f*** ", and that's the end of their reasoning. Dems don't do it that way, but for Uglicans, it just doesn't seem unlikely or surprising.

Watched a Trump SOTU. Well - I tried in 2018.

When I look at Joe - I smile.
When I hear Joe - I believe we are in good hands as country.
He was the right person at the right time to win the Presidency.

And the people he has brought in to work with and for him are the best too.

I had never heard of Anthony Blinken before Joe picked him to be Sec. of State but after I heard him speak
for something like 30 seconds I was like, "You are good and you got the job."

Besides Joe B. worked on saving this:

8 out of 10 applauded him. Said they felt safer with him in charge. The media has stopped their hateful drum beat, too!

Biden has such a great team. Senators are coming out about Republicans holding up his appointees. They are saying it straight out on the Senate floor.

... in B.C. and together they make up the largest temperate rain forest in the world. It fixes tons of
CO2 and it is home to the spirit bear. I think that on both sides they will allow some logging but it
must be done in a sustainable manner.

It's so reassuring to have Vice President Kamela Harris, and all those he selected for his Cabinet, and other places in his administration.

This president really did pick the very best people.

Frances Hamilton Arnold (born July 25, 1956)[1] is an American chemical engineer and Nobel Laureate. She is the Linus Pauling Professor of Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering and Biochemistry at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). In 2018, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for pioneering the use of directed evolution to engineer enzymes.[2]

Since January 2021, she serves as an external co-chair of President Joe Biden's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology

... to understand.

Biden has put together the best group of people I have ever seen.

Dr. Kessler was getting his J.D. from Chicago as he was working on his MD @ Harvard.

David Aaron Kessler (born May 13, 1951) is an American pediatrician, attorney, author, and administrator (both academic and governmental) serving as Chief Science Officer of the White House COVID-19 Response Team since 2021. Kessler was the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from November 8, 1990, to February 28, 1997. He co-chaired the Biden-Harris transition’s COVID-19 Advisory Board from November 2020 to January 2021 and was the head of Operation Warp Speed, the U.S. government program to accelerate the development of COVID-19 vaccines and other treatment, from January to February 2021.[1][2] (wiki)
