This is what is normal.

Joe Biden said he was going home to Delaware to see his grandchildren. It’s normal folks. Those of us who are grandparents can tell you how much we love seeing them and look forward to talking to them. I never once heard the con man say he was excited to see anyone. Joe also said he was going to help Jill choose what else they wanted to bring to DC. That is normal too, to want to help your spouse. I never once heard the con man say he was going to help Melania to do anything.

What a relief I am feeling to just hear about normal human beings doing perfectly everyday things. I so love Biden and Harris for being real.

I can’t recall tRump ever even ONCE doing something remotely “warm” and human. His favourite activity, golf, is basically a solitary sport. I love golf, and sure, it’s fun to go out with a gang of friends but at its essence, you are alone on the course. Does the dumpster even HAVE any friends? Have we ever seen him playing with his grandkids or interacting in a positive way with children?

He’s a sick twisted man. You’re right: so good to see normal behaviour from the President again.

I can count on one hand the number of times I saw him with any of them during his entire term. There was barely any interaction with them. They were just "there."

Sun Feb 7, 2021, 03:09 PM

he'd hire his barely literate kids as senior advisers in his administration so that they'd move to DC and bring his grandkids to live nearby.

And then steal some immigrant kids from their parents to lock in cages and be visited by a first lady who "really doesn't care".

Because "family values"

When on the weekend did Drumpf ever spend time with his pathetic wife?? I never saw him use his free time (which he had plenty of since he hardly worked!) with Barron or his grandkids! So utterly a pathetic shell of a man!

He could have at least feigned warmth by having his grandkids visit the Oval office! After all, they lived right in DC!! That would at least have given the look of humanity and normalcy!!

Doctor says Biden's foot fractures 'are completely healed'

President Joe Biden's foot fractures that he sustained while playing with his dog in November "are completely healed," his physician said in a statement Saturday night.

"The President received routine follow up x-rays today. Both small fractures of his foot are completely healed," Dr. Kevin O'Connor said following Biden's visit to Delaware Orthopedic Specialists earlier Saturday.

"This injury has healed as expected, and he will return to his usual exercise regimen," added O'Connor, who has been Biden's primary care doctor since 2009 and is the director of executive medicine at The George Washington Medical Faculty Associates.

The more those that are not hard right will respond to them. That alone will bring President Biden votes.

Not one.

Not golfing, not walking, playing, sitting, talking, eating his beloved McD's, not anything.

And it's not because a single one of those F'ing trumps is private. Even Melanie.

I did see a very young grandson hug his legs at the republican convention and I saw a video once of him walking with a couple of them from the helicopter. I think he was holding the hand of the girl.

Joe has talked about his grandchildren many times and even mentioned them by name. With Trump, you often forget that he even has grandchildren.

He is a caricature of humanity!

He should be ignored.

President Biden is a gentlemen who is a human being who loves his family. Let him enjoy their companionship and love. It will recharge him for the serious work he has to do for the American people.

Those are traits anathema to Trump. He only loves himself which is the shallowest of affections. It requires far more commitment to love another than to love one's self.

It is truly wonderful to have a normal human being as our president once again.

... I find the idea of “normal” somewhat off-putting. I wonder if it has to do with considering oppression to be perfectly “normal.”

but rage and hate in him. He is the proverbial empty suit. He transparently projects on to others what he actualy is. But in reality I think he really hates himself. All of his bluster is nothing but a pathetic mentally disabled loser.

Greed, selfishness, cruelty, apathy, envy, depravity, anti-intellectualism, and general ugliness
