sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Can we please start a meme to counter all the negative stuff about Biden? Like he’s actually one of the greatest presidents, meeting the dire challenges of this moment on climate, geopolitics, defense of democracy at home and abroad, defense of working class dignity, a smooth hand with economics, and Yoda-like restraint while running the gauntlet of spitting haters?

He’s kind of awesome, really.

Old like history, and better for it.

William weir wrote this on Quora. He consistently backs Biden' accomplishments. This answer was written to rank 5he presidents of the last 55 years.

In only 2–1/2 years, Biden has already set a record for the most jobs ever created in a single presidential term. We have the lowest peacetime unemployment since before the Great Depression, and workforce participation is rising for the first time since Clinton was President. His Rescue Plan launched the fastest economic recovery in history, and the…

"Lies, damn lies and statistics."

American credit card debt -- a sure sign of consumer stress -- is at an all-time high: lendingtree.com/credit-…

Workforce participation continues to be flat -- it has never recovered to its pre-covid level:

And Biden continues to spur on the global trend of de-dollarization of international trade, with his reckless and wasteful support of Ukraine's oppressive, undemocratic far-right thug regime.

You can afford to pretend and not care, betting that you will no longer be on Planet Earth when the combined follies of Republicans and Democrats over the decades wipe out Social Security and Medicare and pension investments of those who are a bit younger.

Well you’re suddenly making a little sense but not by much.

Bill, the Troll changed tactics & timing about a week ago.

If anyone really needs to be distracted to another Topic, a useful Topic, I recommend "The Atlantic" article just posted a 3 hours ago jointly by Lawrence Tribe & former Judge Michael J. Luttig titled

"The Constitution Prohibits Trump From Ever Being PresidentT Again" Tfg is barred from being President again by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. We do NOT have to wait for a successful prosecution by Jack Smith or Fani Willis.

2 very smart men. I saw Judge Luttig right after the Jan 6 insurrection and totally fell "in love" with him.

Bryan Sean McKown's avatar

The Judge, JML, was a critical player in the collapse of the J6 attack as he advised Pence he not have any power to be the catalyst or lynchpin of the attempted coup.

Judith Dyer's avatar

I thought that on that day, Pence was very courageous, a proper hero.

A friend said "No, he was just doing his job".

I still give him credit for that, but, not for much else.

Rick Scott is on Fox News right now lecturing people about not having health care because they don't want to work. Fuck this guy. His business was fined by the federal government $1.7 billion for defrauding Medicare. He doesn't get to lecture anybody on work or health care. Truly one of the biggest ghouls in American politics—which is really saying something.

We’ve reached the line in the sand. Either we speak up now, or we accept this as the new template for how land gets taken.

Buried inside a 1,000-page reconciliation bill is a proposal to sell off 500,000 acres of public land. Not for conservation. Not for public use. For cash.

It’s a fire sale, and the motive is exactly what you think it i…
