38. I with you.. it seems overwhelmeing

Jun 2023

but I'm fighting back.. I'm 75 and have no fucks left to give. Even when my children, all Dems, or Democratic friends whine about Biden's age or a million other reasons like "he doesn't have star power??!!" whateverthefuck that means, and "I wish we had another Democrat to run" and blah blah blah.
I'm standing right up and saying, he is our President and is running for re-election. That's it! That's all! We support him wholeheartedly. No primaries, no challengers.

The bottom line is this: HE'S OUR NOMINEE AND WE WILL VOTE FOR HIM BECAUSE HE'S DOING A FANTASTIC JOB AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. sorry for shouting.

He got the railroad workers to not strike and continued to press the companies until finally, after the fact, sick days were approved. He never gives up and neither will I! And, nolabear, I know you won't either.
