Thank you President Biden for these moments of normalcy.

Watching honorable and deserving people receive the Medal of Freedom was truly beautiful. It was a respite from the world outside.

Period

Surprised that Senator Heflin of Alabama was not nominated posthumously.

He has been on the right side more than once, especially on reproductive rights and LGBTQ rights. I also read he opposes the ruling in Citizens’ United.

Yeah, He has republican views and sometimes did things democrats are against, that doesn’t make him undeserving.

Because he was an asshole during the Clarence Thomas hearings. Well, actually I guess that was because he is a Republican.

I can't help but wonder, however, if he'll invite TFG back to the White House to unveil TFG's portrait.

TFG didn't invite Obama. In fact, didn't display the Obama portrait as is tradition.

It's nice to hear about special people who have gone above and beyond what regular folks do. It's inspiring.

Trump's list was short and mostly pathetic. Jim Jordan? Devin Nunes? Rush Limbaugh?
