Remember when Biden was president? Remember how boring it was? Remember not having check the news multiple times a day

Some great replies in the thread.

Remember how boring it was? Remember not having go check the news multiple times a day to figure out what was going on inside your own agency and whether you were going go have a job or not? Remember when laws and precident seemed to actually have meaning?

Remember when you could do your job from home? Remember when your fellow countrymen weren't cheering when your livelihood was threatened? Remember when your biggest worry was which insurance to select and what the next years raise would be?

Remember when the administration didn't seem to actively hate you and want to you gone for the sin of serving of the people?

Pepperidge farm remembers.

I remember how immensely relieved I was when he came into office after Trump 1.
I suddenly had so much less anxiety, and more time doing things I enjoy!

Lots of people truly endangered. This, from the President that brought us the covid pandemic. He manages to top himself.

BUT I have faith that eventually we can recover. Probably will take a while. Will never justify the horror show.

Why does it mention "Pepperidge Farms", though?

According to "The Pseudo Anti-Establishment Dictionary for Dummies, How to Help Republicans Win." Just saw it here in another thread, see it every day. Enough.

Status quo is Democrats in charge of the ship so passengers don't have to worry about crashing into icebergs and if there are enough lifeboats and the radio works and the crew isn't passed out. The ship progresses steady as she goes. Forward. Together. Boring. Status quo.

It was so peaceful, in Biden or Obama's hands. Now, I am not interested in football anymore, don't want to cook, actually don't feel like doing anything I used to enjoy. It's all I can do to pull myself away long enough to watch a series on Britbox or PBS. I honestly don't know how I lived thru his first term. Guess I'll go do the laundry. That'll keep me busy for a while.

and now here we are.

Media conglomerates are motivated to want a protofascist government. Living in “interesting” times is good for their business model.
