Any Good News for Biden Team Today?

I'm starting to think it's all going to be bad news for us every day, every hour.

That's because it's all I'm reading skimming through all the headlines.

Makes me think it would be great to have a Good News forum.

2. Right? I'm placing a moratorium on my tv news consumption

unless there is major news I feel like I need to hear about. Otherwise I'll just read what I need to know on line.

But I don't want to read or hear anymore about the intrigues of the traitors in the Senate.

I know they are traitors doing evil every single hour of every single day and that should be out of office, and few behind bars.

3. Everyone I know feels like Biden is doing great

They are not really paying attention to every cabinet appointee or all the stuff. They see Joe at the candlelight moment of silence. My daughter-in-law texted that Jill is in Kelly Clarkson. We are all so glad Trump is gone. Getting vaccines, getting warmer. Happy.

Everyone I know personally family, friends, neighbors say similar things, it's uplifting.

which tells me I hang out here too much these days. I have to break the habit.

the fact that he's not behind bars, but free to claim the 2024 mantel is not good news.

But like you say, the fact that he isn't in the oval office is always good news. if only that point was dropped on the head of the asshole senators that enabled that fascist monster.

Too many obstacles

You need to throw down a perfect Full House

1) Willing Prosecutor

2) Willing Grand Jury

3) Cooperative Judge

4) Cooperative Jury

Roadblocks:

1) Jury Selection. Will every jury have 6 Trump voters?

2) Change of venue. Expect to see that NYC case tried in Rochester.

3) Political pressure for what will be seen by SOME as political retribution.

4) Layers of plausible deniability. How many Trump employees stand between Trump and crimes?

by ending the pandemic and getting things back to normal as soon as possible. Everything else is secondary.

would have chosen the one and done j&j but so happy to learn it was approved and should be hitting the pharmacies in short order, and that will be a huge impact on getting us back to normalcy.
