wow oh wow Biden's Speech

[crickets]

15. This was wonderful! So hopeful, so positive and forward focused.

The only part where he lost the audience was when he talked about cooperation. I know that was a sop to the Repubs, and likely was a wasted effort. It put a chill on the audience for a moment, but good for him for bothering to extend the respect. A lesser man would not have bothered. He may want to clarify that wanting cooperation does not mean DEMS will be 'reaching across the aisle' but that MITCH needs to get over himself.

Also, I want to have these speeches outside forever more. Car horns and fireworks are way too cool to give up. Beats the heck out of balloons every time.
