Almost two and a half DAYS into the Biden Administration...

[sheshe2]

And I am seeing Democrats in the Senate, which we just won a majority as Georgia was seated yesterday, being bashed. They are not working fast enough and some seem to be concerned. Something smells, so it has been said. Schumer can't walk and chew gum at the same time, so it has been said. Democrats are caving.

SMDH. We never learn. Here we go again a redux of 2008.

Please stop. Please listen and take a very deep breathe.

In two and a half days we have had 3, Three, THREE press briefings from a press secretary that is in a word, brilliant. She is articulate and open and honest. She misspoke the other day and came out later to correct that.

All I am saying is give Democrats a chance.

We are the ones we have been waiting for and we are the change we seek. If you question that just look what we did in the general election. Then look again and look hard. LOOK AT GEORGIA. Look what they did! They flipped our Senate, razor thin yet they flipped it.

Let us work together.

2. The usual suspects.

For the most part, I just ignore them. Justice Democrats, for example, were complaining about as soon as Biden's win was official, if not before.

Some seem to think that 50/50 means a mandate and we can just rush through anything we want. That's not how the real world operates. The focus was clearly on reversing whatever could be reversed immediately via executive order, then work on legislating change.

My advice would be to ignore the worst of it. It's not worth the time or energy. Some people just like attention, positive or otherwise.

3. I gotta tell ya, after a loooooong time here I changed a personal rule a few years ago.

I started putting people on ignore. At first, you're curious about what people you saw are knuckleheads are saying. But soon enough that passes and the DU experience is more calm.

4. How about some music?

[sheshe2]

5. THIS

[Hermit-The-Prog]

7. Several phrases in your OP made music pop into my head ...

[sheshe2]

12. Never heard/ saw that rendition before. Whoa.

Talk about everything else but what we are saying.

Thank you so very much. Perfect.

All we are saying...

Thank you, HTP.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

14. You ain't gettin' rid of me that easily ...

We're a big tent, disorganized, argue about nits and nuances, but in spite of ourselves ...

[sheshe2]

21. ...

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. Hey, we ARE the big door prize in spite of our infighting!

There was one more song your OP stirred up in my mind, but it's not really on point.

[MustLoveBeagles]

35. Kicking for John Prine and the O'Jays

15. First dog I ever knew was a beagle. You can imagine the special place he still has in my heart.

[MustLoveBeagles]

19. They're wonderful dogs

I can't imagine life without mine.

[MustLoveBeagles]

6. There's no pleasing some people

President Biden has gotten a lot done in a short amount of time.

[StClone]

32. Considering what he is dealing with...

...Turtles and Elephants, both are slow and cumbersome to get moving even downhill with a wind at there backs.*

*"downhill with a wind at there backs" means siding with the US Constitution and the Law and prosecute those breaching those.

10. I haven't seen this. Do you have links?

Have you used the alert link?

[sheshe2]

18. Not posting links and I don't alert.

[Gore1FL]

22. OK, I guess.

I tend to work off of data and not absence of it.

[sheshe2]

26. I am not getting a hide posting links.

Believe what you wish. It is out there on more than one thread.

Try advanced search. Search me, you will see my responses.

[Gore1FL]

27. It just seems weird to assert something and then being afraid of backing it up.

You do you.

[sheshe2]

28. Advanced search.

Pretty easy. All my posts tonight are there.

Thank you so much for allowing me to be me.

I am not afraid...

[Gore1FL]

30. I asked something simple

While we have had our disagreements in the past, I honestly expected better of you. Backing arguments isn't hard.

[sheshe2]

34. Yet hides are so easy.

I gave you the links you asked for. Research is not that hard. Just insert the info I gave you in advanced search and my evening on line will open for you.

[Gore1FL]

36. It's just not that hard to back one's one assertions.

Again. I simply expected better.

You have earned my respect, despite often being in difference of opinion. this particular interaction isn't improving on that. I know you are better.

[StarfishSaver]

39. It's also not hard to just ignore/dismiss any comment you think isn't supported

Much easier than badgering the poster for links they told you several posts back they're not going to provide but gave you the information you needed to find yourself.

One might get the impression that getting back up for an assertion isn't your purpose.

[Gore1FL]

41. On might get that impression, but they would be wrong. nt

11. I saw a chart in a tweet wherein if Democrats do something good it's not good enough and

therefore "Democrats suck" and if Republicans do something bad Democrats should've stopped them and therefore "Democrats suck."

[sheshe2]

16. Yes!

Now you have to listen to this ...here. This is so perfect to what I am saying, Nails it.

[StarfishSaver]

24. That pretty much sums it up

And if Democrats do something they like, they should have done it anyway and what took them so long.

[betsuni]

31. Not having enough votes for legislation has NOTHING to do with it.

Something about "fighting" or "kicking ass" or whatever.



Thank you, StarfishSaver, for explaining how things actually work.

[Cha]

37. And, If Dems do something they

like.. they take credit for it.

[betsuni]

38. Yes, because if Democrats aren't daily threatened and accused of all sorts of

bad things they'd NEVER do anything progressive! It's nutty.

13. 2-1/2 days into the Biden administration and he has accomplished

more than Trump did in 4 years. With Trump, it was always a baby step forward and then 100 giant leaps backwards. Biden has a mountain of work ahead of him (not to mention the inevitable Republican obstruction at every turn) but he has established one Hell of a team of hard working, competent people who will bring their A game to the job every day. It won't be perfect and won't always be pretty, but I have confidence it will be progress. JMHO...

[sheshe2]

17. Nothing is ever perfect.

Not ever, yet we can strive for the best we can be be then turn around and reach a bit higher.

[BobTheSubgenius]

20. Amen!

Democrats need to stop flinching every time a twig scrapes a window, or an angry voice is heard in the distance.

To use a great tag line from an earlier tweet.

"We have the gavels."

[sheshe2]

23. We have the GAVELS!

Yes we do, Bob.

[jO456]

29. Walking and chewing gum

Almost everyone can walk and chew gum. Poor saying

[sheshe2]

33. It was a derogatory comment from a poster about our Democrats.

[GoneOffShore]

40. To those bashing I post the following:

1 - The perfect is the enemy of the good.
2 - All politics is local.
3 - 90% of success is showing up.
4 - You're not going to get a unicorn who farts rainbows.
5 - See number one.
