Competence and comprehension - some things Donald Trump completely lacked.

I taught 1st grade and his body language is immature for a 6 year old let alone a 74 year old. Putin calls him "colorful". I know he is bright orange most of the time but "colorful" isn't the word I'd use to describe him.

I love how she's leaning in like, "Welllll.........?" and he's glaring back like a petulant toddler!

If I was teaching a class on body language, I'd use this pic as an example of "defensiveness."

I'm going to enjoy them too. At 73, time is getting short, longevity doesn't run in my family. I'm gonna just sit back and enjoy the smiles, the dogs, and the LOVE.

I probably won't be around that long myself, but I want America to enjoy the next SIXTEEN years...at least. I hope to see a new American Renaissance and the end of the Republican Mob Family.

What have we got to lose?

These are decent self-respecting people with a devoted loyalty to the best of America & the World.

They are what we waited for as we endured every trying day from Jan 2017 thru Jan 20, 2021 when we could all began the process of de-tramatization.

Every day forward is met with one more step away from those traumatic days & the distance becomes farther in the rearview mirror.

Its ok to enjoy the fact that we walked thru authoritarian hell together as a nation & made it out the other side.

Now, having experienced both Authoritarian govt & Democracy, I am convinced which one I am grateful for today.

14. I did not like trump embarrassing the US with his lack of manners. In a host country.

But although I may be more of a more moderate democrat than many here, I hate monarchy to the core.

I want a president who respects protocol but does not kiss their ass. Joe has done a good job here.

When American Presidents meet the queen, or king, they are both acting as heads of states. In diplomatic meetings they are fucking equals. Nothing more.

On a different rant. It’s so nice to see our president dressed with properly fitting clothes that match our European counterparts. Biden looked great. Even Macron had nothing on him from a style standpoint.
