Joe Biden stopped being a big pain in the neck today

Joe Biden, toward the end of his vice presidency in 2016, told those in a congressional room: “Guys, I’m going to be the biggest pain in your neck as long as I live, until we figure out about these burn pits.”

Today, as president, he signs a sweeping law addressing burn pits.

that showed Biden got 50% of the military vote, which is better than Democrats usually do with that group. Sorry, I can’t find a link.

Trump campaign witness says it's 'odd' that US troops voted for Biden in large numbers

I believe military would vote for the candidate who promised to bring them home from Afghanistan and help them get healthcare for burn pits.

Not too long ago to NOT vote Republican was dereliction of duty and good order.

He wanted to spare other families his grief. A President who leads with his heart.

to me. If you know how things go in the House and Senate it is unbelievable that they were able to pass what they did.
