I'm listening to President Biden and something just occurred to me

When President Biden goes 'off script' it's almost ALWAYS to compliment someone. I remember that other guy would inevitably either compliment himself or degrade someone else.

So refreshing.

There's a scene where all of the men are marching around and singing 'When Johnny Comes Marching Home', with that last line, 'And we'll all feel gay when Johnny comes marching home!' My mind IMMEDIATELY went to DeSantis.

of my Grandpa's. It's a small flattened piece of metal like you'd get at the fair. On one side it's engraved with 1904 "You go gay girls". I love that cheap charm.

I love having Jo Biden as our President.

An improvement so vast over the last guy that it’s almost impossible to measure.
