President Biden
@POTUS

United States government official

When I served as Vice President, I asked to be the last person with the President before big decisions were made — and @VP is providing the same counsel to me. She’s the last voice in the room and never fails to speak the truth as we work to build our nation back better.

Why do they need masks?

For other people in the room who haven't, perhaps?

I’m oversensitive to no masks, but mask blind when people wear them.

How bizarre.

I have too. People don’t look right unless they’re wearing masks anymore. I really like them as fashion statements too. Nancy Pelosi does that, and it just makes her look more interesting.

It looks weird to see a crowd of people in close distance, and especially with no masks on.

Trump got sick, Biden didn't. And Trump was a lot sicker than they initially told us.

He’s a man who has grown in wisdom. I hope we hear directly from him much more! I like it when he talks to us. It makes me feel like I count now. I support him a lot! My people are also happy with him. And relieved. And hopeful!

So very fucking proud.

We have dropped from the highest mountain to the lowest cesspool with tRumpf....and now we jet back to the highest peek again.

Realizing the goPutin party will do their best to obstruct every progressive move this administration makes...we are on the right course again.

After recommendations are made by professionals, the president receives counsel alone with their trusted Number One.

Joe came from working class roots, ran a few times and lost. Life has thrown him a few curve balls, he put one foot in front of the other and moved forward. He was Vice President to a Harvard educated Constitutional Scholar. He is one of those guys who may not have seemed destined for greatness, but competence and a steady hand in a very challenging time might just thrust it on him. Damn, how Americana is that?
