I really believe he's enjoying this opportunity to watch the GOP's faces as he provides for his American citizens, FIRST, for a change.

Left, Moderate, Center. Joe Biden is all & any as the moment calls for.
He's a Democrat, after all.

The minimum hourly wage in Norway is, as of 2021, 167 NOK (roughly $19.50 USD) for hospitality workers. Cleaning staff gets 187.66 NOK or $21.80 USD per hour. Norway is also a pretty expensive place to live, but even so...

11. Something I learned recently:

Cass Sunstein, who worked for the Obama administration, wrote a book in 2004 about a revolution to finish implementing FDR's Bill of Rights: "The Second Bill of Rights, FDR's Unfinished Revolution And Why We Need It More Than Ever."

Thom Hartmann reviewed the book in 2006 and said, "If a Democratic candidate for the presidency in 2008 were to take up Sunstein's modern update of Roosevelt's Second Bill of Rights, he or she would certainly win the election."

Now I know where the idea of an FDR Democrat and talk of revolution and a "21st Century Bill of Rights" came from!
