1. Yay!

[ffr]

2. Government working to help people.

What a novelty.

I gushing with appreciation for Joe Biden!

[PatSeg]

4. And its happening so quickly

President Biden is blowing me away and I already had very high expectations.

[liberalla]

27. Me too!!! President Biden is blowing me away!

and I also had high expectations!

He's BOLD, BRAVE, BRILLIANT... He means business! No hesitation.
We are moving forward through this crisis!

Damn! he's impressing the hell out of me!

[PatSeg]

33. Possibly the most underestimated

man in modern politics. He's not just Obama's fun sidekick or everyone's Uncle Joe. This is the moment that he's been preparing for his entire life, a moment that he'd already decided had passed him by. And he's approached it with such humility, wisdom, and dignity, I am gobsmacked. For all the pundits and comics who have ridiculed him all these years, time to sit down and shut up or at least admit you were wrong. Of course, Joe go the final word!

[soldierant]

39. So true and so well stated!

[ShazzieB]

34. He knocks my 🧦 off every day! 😁 nt

[PatSeg]

36. I am happier than I had expected

[calimary]

18. What a WELCOME change!

Thank you, President Biden!

I’m happier every day that we supported you and trusted you. MAN! No regrets! None needed.

After four miserable years of trump and trumplicans, it’s still hard to believe we actually have someone SO dramatically and demonstrably better IN office and ON the job - just like he promised he’d be. I’m still getting used to the whole idea!

[DBoon]

41. We had four years of a president using government to enact vengeance against his opponents

The change is amazing

[burrowowl]

3. Good job!

[electric_blue68]

5. A President who cares... thank you

[matt819]

6. Correct me if I'm wrong. . .

but it's almost as if President Biden is the president of all Americans and that, well, that he gives a damn.

[calimary]

20. Yeah. Who knew there even was someone like that?

[PatSeg]

7. I don't know how much more winning we can handle!!!

Every day is like Christmas.

[MustLoveBeagles]

46. President Biden is exceeding my expectations

He seems to genuinely care about the American people. ALL of them.

[PatSeg]

48. I don't know how many times I've

heard that phrase the past week and I've said it numerous times as well. He is exceeding everyone's expectations, probably even republicans who are thinking, "Oh shit!"

[Cozmo]

8. God Bless You, Mr. President

[Deuxcents]

9. Good news

Our Native communities have been neglected for way too long. Biden n his campaign met with some elders n now some action. Just the beginning, I hope

[wnylib]

44. Yes, I, too, hope it's just the beginning.

The Oglala at Pine Ridge could use some help, too.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

10. K&R! nt

[Miigwech]

11. Yes!!! 'Opposite world', LOL.

[crickets]

12. Good job, Joe. 💙💙

[Butterflylady]

13. So very glad to hear this.

[Magoo48]

14. Great work, Joe.

[Brother Buzz]

15. Is this the same Navajo Nation the orange anus turned his back on when....

he learned 60% to 90% of the Navajo Nation's roughly 67,000 eligible voters voted for Biden?

Asking for a friend.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. We are 'suffering' from a President who asks, "Who needs help?", instead of, "Who voted for me?"

Ain't it great?

[IronLionZion]

19. They turned Arizona blue for him

but it's a valid point that he'd help regardless.

[calimary]

22. And he recognizes the need - and RESPONDS.

He acts. Doesn’t just pay lip service. What a refreshing change!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

28. A handy chart of Executive Orders and Memoranda ...

Several will benefit 'red' states, like mine, more than 'blue'.

[IronLionZion]

29. That's a great resource. I've been looking for a tracker like that

thanks!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

32. Welcome. The date in the link is misleading -- the chart is updated.

[Brother Buzz]

23. It's was a sad day when he was compelled to announce

I will work as hard for those who didn't vote for me — as those who did

Used to be, some things were a given.

[Brother Buzz]

37. Doesn't really matter - He heard the first reports and turned his back on the Navajo Nation....

faster than you can sneeze. That revenge thingy runs strong with that asshole.

[CanonRay]

17. Good, we owe them, they helped carry Arizona

Not to mention a hundred years of abuse.

[wnylib]

45. More than 100 years. Long before 1920.

[ismnotwasm]

21. Thank you President Biden

Tears of gratitude from me for sure

[Cha]

24. TY Pres Biden!! Rt

[Dem2theMax]

25. This brought tears to my eyes.

This, and the responses of everybody in this thread.

I cannot believe how good it feels to know that the wonderful man in the White House is taking care of everyone, as though every single one of us were part of his family.

To President Biden

[Evolve Dammit]

26. My heart goes out to Navajo Nation. May the Great Spirit protect from this horrible disease. n/t

35. I received the 1st shot of Moderna at the Indian Health Service clinic

Last edited Thu Feb 4, 2021, 12:28 AM - Edit history (1)

about 2 miles from my home last Wednesday.

On a local (basically three rural counties) news blog there is a daily covid thread and I made the following post several days ago. People dependent on the county are having trouble scheduling shots even when of high priority and the appointments can be very inconvenient.

>>Props to the Indian Health Service out here in the hinterlands. Asked me 6 weeks ago, if I wanted a vaccine when available and I said yes. Then was called and asked again more formally and was scheduled for a vaccine. Then was called moving up the appointment, January 27 10 AM.

I was only one in the parking lot at time of my appointment. One is taken in the door after a temperature check and given a questionnaire about allergies and a disclosure statement to sign with items like the vaccine is not yet FDA approved. Then one is taken to a treatment room for the shot. After the shot one goes back into the waiting room for a 15 minute waiting period to see if any unfavorable reactions. The doctor sat with me and went over a several page Fact Sheet. Also one is given a cv19 card with treatment record and the time and date of the 2nd shot four weeks in the future.

Easy and convenient as huckleberry pie in the old days.

Vaccine is distributed direct to IHS and not through the county or State to my understanding.

BTW I am not Native American.

[GusBob]

43. IHS is rocking the vaccine

The IHS clinic here been pushing them like crazy almost all adults vaccinated
Started in late December
We only have like 3 active cases on the Rez now

[Evolve Dammit]

53. not yet FDA approved? I thought what was being administered was approved? Which vaccine was it?

Sorry. Asked a lot of questions there

[PufPuf23]

54. Moderna.

I signed a release that stated that fact before receiving the shot. I do not have a copy of that but I have the 5 page FACT SHEET I went over with the doctor during the 15 minute post shot observation period before exit.

FACT SHEET FOR RECIPIENTS AND CARE GIVERS

>insert 3 more lines of title will not type<

First 3 paragraphs:

You are being offered the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine to prevent Corona Virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV2. This fact Sheet contains information to help you understand the risks and benefits of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, which you may receive because there currently a pandemic of COVID-19.

The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine is a vaccine and may prevent you from getting COVID-19. There is no US Food and Agriculture (FDA) approved vaccine to prevent COVID-19.

Read the Fact Sheet for information about the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. Talk to the vaccination provider if you have questions. It is your choice to receive the Moderna COVD-19 Vaccine.

[Evolve Dammit]

55. Thanks. Doesn't exactly instill confidence? Seems Disclaimer-like.

[PufPuf23]

56. Such as it is a Disclaimer, it is what it is. I signed a release with similar language.

If not for the pandemic, the vaccines would still be in the normal FDA approval process.

I am glad that the vaccines are available.

[Evolve Dammit]

57. Agree; I just hope there are no long-term side effects as companies are waiving liability. n/t

[PufPuf23]

31. Biden is naming names and kicking ass where needed !!!

Odd having my expectations and hopes exceeded

[BobTheSubgenius]

38. Quite the use of Presidential authority and power, don't you think?

What a nice step in the right direction!

No, not "nice." Fantastic.

[Faux pas]

40. YES YES YES!

[Nitram]

42. Biden is going to accomplish more to benefit the country in his first 100 days than

any president in history. Of course, he had a lot to work with.

[BadgerMom]

47. This is excellent and needed.

Native peoples overcame hurdles to vote for Biden and other Dems. Follow-through on Dems’ parts is the least they deserve.

[Blue Owl]

49. K&R

[jaxexpat]

50. Joe is the distilled product, the refined treasure of 60's style progressivism.

Not all the hippies gave up and caved to the selfishness of Reaganesque materialism or morphed into anti-social, subsistence hermits. Some adopted the long view and opted to work within the system for incremental change. At this time it is NOT incumbent upon him to compromise with Republicans who remain diminished by their association with support for Trump. If he avoids international land mines and other priority stealing traps he may well go down as the best president the country has ever elected.

[WA-03 Democrat]

51. Excellent news!

The Navajo Nation for statehood. A President for all American.

[OldBaldy1701E]

52. NOW I am seeing some progress

This is long overdue, but it has happened. Amazing.
