…Secretary Pete on anything. His composure and ability to think on his feet are so impressive.

I don't care which room. It could be any room and he would still be the smartest.

I hope that someday this country is mature enough to elect a gay President..

I was an immediate fan.

"I hope that someday this country is mature enough to elect a gay President." I shore your hope, and may Pete be the first!

Until it's convenient for them to blame the government for not regulating something. Once the smoke clears and everyone is at home with their luggage, any attempts to regulate the airlines will be shot down as anti-American.

I was "treated" to a bit of RW Hate Radio last night, and it was all about how the flight delays were Biden's fault and power failures around the country were Biden's fault because he didn't "fix the grid".

But anything Biden does to solve these problems send Republicans into "outrage mode". The airlines and power companies are private businesses that conservatives insist should be free of government regulation until it is time to bail them out when their free-market greed crashes the company.
