I miss the boring old man who just quietly brought our economy back from a dumpster fire without daily drama.

[Peacetrain]

Saw this on FB.. love it.. and so true .. Miss you bunches President Joe Biden and wish you could have had hung in there..but everyone did the best they could.. When you think that VP Kamala Harris had only 3 months to pull an entire campaign together and got 48.3 % of the votes,,, it is impressive..

[Swede]

1. I never knew, or really cared what Biden did, day to day.

If it was important, it would make the news and then I would look into it.

Now every day is a unmitigated clusterfuck with dire consequences for the world at large.

[LisaL]

6. Yep.

Too think that just a short time ago we had a normal life. But it wasn't good enough for Trumpers.
Now we are all suffering.

[Ars Longa]

44. Can we get him back?

[Aristus]

2. I wouldn't necessarily call him boring.

It was encouraging to see a physically fit guy wearing sharply-tailored suits stride confidently through his Presidency. Radiating respect for the institution he represents, compassion for the struggles of working Americans, and empathy for still-marginalized communities.

A man who talked about other people than just himself, wanted what was best for even those who didn’t vote for him, and envisioned a United States that was a welcoming home for everyone who wanted to be here.

If that’s boring, I’ll take it.

[MLWR]

7. I wouldn't call him "boring" either.

The fact of the matter is that unlike Comrade Krasnov, Joe Biden is NOT an attentionwhore. Nor is he some television reality "star" who thinks everything is a reality show. Joe Biden is NOT some drama queen, nor is he an agent of chaos. And that is what I miss.

11. biden had good POSTURE + he didn't shake hamnds like as asshole who finally is too old to strong arm our allies.

[True Blue American]

15. The brilliant, accomplished man tha just worked constantly and accomplished much.

I Alm reading a book right now where Republicans are making fun of the guy in the wheelchair. How could he possibly get anything done?
Today people fell for the blow hard. Back,then peoplewere starving, selling apples, visiting food kitchens, families taking turns daily eating.. The guy in the wheelchair looked pretty postive. Hoover said Government could not fix the depression.

BTW,the book is about Shirley Temple who spread joy through the depression.. two bright lights in a sea of darkness..

[ancianita]

17. "Boring" is more metaphorical, representing the public's trust in the competent Biden admin. to govern well

and generously for all the people.

[TommieMommy]

3. I miss president Joe Biden and his wisdom and common sense 💙💙💙

16. Apologies. Corrected. NT.

[Ilsa]

20. Joni's voice is as clear as glass in my memory of her music. nt

[GiqueCee]

24. I've always loved Joni's music...

... and it's hard to pick a favorite, but, in my humble opinion, Court and Spark, with Tom Scott and the LA Express backing her up, was her finest album; it was pure gold. Cheech and Chong had a little cameo, too. I wore out a few cassettes of that album.
Now I gotta listen to it again, Excuse me...

[rubbersole]

27. "Blue" won female album of the century in 2000...IIRC

8. Much could have been done during those four years to forestall Trump's return

[ancianita]

18. Biden did more than any other single term president since FDR, it's just that corporate media refused to report it.

We've got the DU lists to prove it.

[allegorical oracle]

42. Especially given that he had to do everything in a constant fog of Repug criticism all

four years. What clued me in to admire him was the often mentioned story about how he'd take the train home every weekend to be with his family. He had good people on his staff and in his Cabinet, too. They worked hard and weren't constantly chasing TV cameras.

[ancianita]

45. It's why the felon just had to bring Biden's name up 19 times in his ramble to the joint session. He's hated

Biden since the Obama presidency, for his ability to pick the best people.
Under Biden we had THE best national security team on the planet, we had Ukraine winning, sanctions weakening Putin, and helped Israel beat the crap out of Iran's Hezbollah and Hamas. And Biden loved unions and the military, tried to care for veterans as much as the maga cockblockers would allow.

There are plenty in the US military who wish he were back.

[IronLionZion]

9. You don't like the stupid evil old man who brought in a muskrat to burn it all down?

Biden's presidency and Harris's campaign were very impressive considering the circumstances. Trump's campaign never ended. He had been holding rallies for years before the election.

[Boomerproud]

14. 45/47 was, is and always will be an agent of chaos.

We know in our hearts what will happen if people in power (hear me Europe) don't do something to stop this dismantling of the social order.

[Joinfortmill]

10. Times10.

[live love laugh]

19. They couldn't attack gas prices which hover near Biden's so they chose eggs.

[IronLionZion]

30. As if Biden has some sort of anti-hen agenda

[AmericaUnderSiege]

21. Our record is...considerably better than theirs.

In Obama, we had the best Presidency since the '50s. The most unifying and constructive leader in living memory. One the country would take back in an instant if not for rules in a Constitution the Republicans have simply abandoned, and we won't do that. And just as a bonus, a worker President after that who did the nitty-gritty legislating job and got a huge lot done.

Push Republicans with the question, they can't answer you what Presidents they admire if they're not just parroting current party line. They can't defend Reagan anymore, and don't remember anything about either Bush but maybe tax cuts ("Ah, so you were bribed. Good to know where your values are.&quot

Like the proverbial Ministry of Truth, their past is in constant flux.

[Clouds Passing]

33. Joe Biden has been the best president since Franklin Roosevelt

[AmericaUnderSiege]

50. Great legislative record, but he didn't see this shit coming.

Didn't prepare for it. Had to be told, and by then it was too late. Took a lot of half-measures.

A lot of Presidents from purely legislative backgrounds have that problem. They're conditioned to that mode of thinking.

[peacebuzzard]

22. Joe was class and elegance and positive and hard working

always sympathetic to those in need, always helpful.
He made all things possible for the good in the world.
I miss that above all.
If all that is boring, I long for the boring so I can sleep at night and not worry if my life and standard of living will disappear overnight.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

35. It blows my mind that so many Americans apparently

prefer chaos created by a whiney, egomaniacal, criminal sociopath & his goons.

I think Muskolini & Russia bought him the election. The mechanisms we supposedly had in place to prevent that failed.

[peacebuzzard]

53. I think its part of the minute or seconds crowd

They want immediate results to critique until the next off-the-cuff incident.
always nearsighted.

[babylonsister]

43. For as long as I've been paying attention to politics, Joe

Biden has always been there.

I hope he's proud of his accomplishments, because I am.

[peacebuzzard]

54. I will always be sad and so fond of what he did.

If he were in public service today, he would still be criticized rather than appreciated.

[moniss]

23. One of the most cruel and insipid things

about the media attack on Biden was about his hesitation in speaking. They never stopped for one minute to consider, nor did they want to, that as a man who fought stuttering his entire life that he may, in his later years, take slightly more time in controlling his speech. Not a damned thing to do with cognitive ability or him supposedly "losing it".

But the media was never interested in asking about or highlighting his accomplishments and the immense good being done all across the country and around the world. It was always attack him etc. They attacked, accused and scrutinized Hunter in ways they would never do to Ivanka. In some ways it reminded me of the attack on John Kerry.

Joe Biden had immensely qualified people around him unlike this TV celebrity cabal of morons we see now. The media jumped at the chance to portray him as a doddering, near helpless man who would have to be spoon fed his meals. The media will never own up to its role in the horrible things that have happened to the US and around the world over the last few decades. Ever since the demise of things like the Fairness Doctrine or preventing excessive media consolidation, we have seen a media that is not about the facts or truth but rather what gets clicks, ratings etc. all for the sake of profits.

That drive for every possible aspect of life to be turned into profit generation is the result of unchecked greed with no moral grounding or concept of doing things for the greater good. It may well be fundamental to what destroys this country.

[wryter2000]

41. Jared Bernstein

The genius behind Bidenomics.

[peacebuzzard]

56. Moniss you win this thread.

my deepest sentiments exactly.

[mcar]

25. And that's why MSM hated him

He was quietly effective. No book deals in it for them.

[Sneederbunk]

26. Krasnov does not compare.

[Clouds Passing]

28. I miss him so much

[CTyankee]

29. I did too for a long time but lately I've tried to concentrate on taking care of my handicapped husband and trying not

to let it stress me too much. But being a caregiver is stressful. At some point I am going to need some help. We're not getting any younger...

[Clouds Passing]

32. Being a caregiver is an intensive daily experience. Honor is the perfect word to give a caretaker. Honor 💛

Joe Biden has been a tireless caretaker of us all

[CTyankee]

34. Yes, I grieved over our loss in the election as I had such high hopes. I'm still not completely over it.

And it's one thing to lose an election but to lose it to THAT PIECE OF SHIT?

[Paladin]

31. The boring old man who was neither a sociopath nor a psychotic?

Yeah, I miss him, as well.

[Wounded Bear]

36. Ain't that the truth? nt

[Cha]

37. Daily Nightmares.. Mahalo, Peacetrain

[Peacetrain]

55. Mahalo Cha for all your support too.. and Peace be with you and all our friends and family

It is going to be a long 4 years.. but wade through it we will..

[Cha]

57. Love, Peace, and Aloha to you, Peacetrain

[Evolve Dammit]

38. Agreed. Joe did well and I miss him.

[Aussie105]

39. Newsflash!

Politics is - should be - boring.
Politicians are supposed to be boring.
Competent is a prime requirement, and if a competent politician happens to be boring, no big problem.

The occasional politician who is competent and also has charisma is rare indeed.

But there are people out there who confuse politics with team sports and cage fights, apparently.
And they will vote for cage fighter type politicians, not competent governance.

[wryter2000]

40. Miss them both

He was a wonderful president, possibly the best of my long lifetime. And she would have been fabulous.

[Attilatheblond]

46. I miss him & his extremely effective cabinet

Good, worthy people work FOR the American people and safety of the world instead of taking orders to destroy things while making money for themselves. Yeah, I miss that. And the serenity I had not having to worry about what the hell was gonna go wrong every day.

[wendyb-NC]

47. I know

He never tried to rule us, he worked for the people of this country, he had compassion, and he understood how government is supposed to operate. I miss President Biden.

[Hassler]

48. And deposited my SS each month without

needing to wonder if fElon was going to stiff me.

[questionseverything]

49. Boring in government is good

With Biden I didn’t wake up every day wondering what idiot thing he had done, I knew he was doing his best for us

I miss mundane things being mundane

[Vinca]

52. I just saw part of an interview with a GOP Congresswoman on CNN and it appears the boring old guy

will be coming back front and center. It sounds like they're going to blame the inevitable recession on him.
