Oof.
Listening to this Biden farewell address, and, man am I going to miss normalcy in the Oval Office.
So many people have tried to tear this fundamentally decent man down, and it’s absolutely maddening.

I recently had to get a background check to get a 5-week freelance gig. If I was a convicted felon or adjudicated sexual abuser, I probably wouldn’t get the job.
I wish I lived in a country where people actually vetted the people they vote for.

And don’t forget this too, children, you can sexually abuse women and defame them and still be President of the United States of America.
"Children, I want this to be an important lesson to you. If you do bad things, like break the law—even a lot—you are going to have to pay the consequences: nothing. Well, other than getting your job back. Because those are the rules in America, a land that cherishes justice."

RIP President Jimmy Carter, another bit of light stripped away from our very dark world.

A president with empathy.
Biden: I promise you, the day will come when the memory of your loved one.. will bring a smile to your lips before a tear to your eye. It will take time. But I promise you, I promise you, it will come. It will take time. My prayer is that that day comes sooner rather than later

It's it odd that women's rights vary state-by-state, whereas men's rights are the same throughout the country?
It's *almost* as if men are given preferential treatment.

I’m sorry for those who were killed or injured. But I must admit, the irony does not escape me. Omen of what’s to come?
Breaking News: One person is dead and at least seven people are injured after a Cybertruck exploded outside of a Trump hotel in Las Vegas, the police said.

Nothing better than putting on your ski jacket for the first time since last winter and finding a $20 bill in the pocket. It’s like winning the lottery. And makes you an oligarch next to Rudy.
I found two $1 bills in a pair of jeans I just washed, making me richer than Rudy Giuliani.

Biden: Jimmy Carter lived a life measured not by words, but by his deeds. Just look at his life. He worked to eradicate disease not just at home, but around the world. He forged peace, advanced civil rights, human rights.. He built housing for the homeless with his own hands

Jimmy Carter spent decades advocating for universal healthcare, believing no one should go without care in the richest country on Earth. His vision is more urgent than ever—it’s time we honor his legacy by making it a reality. #UniversalHealthcareNow

He was a deeply religious man but never pushed his beliefs on anyone. He lived it every day in service to our country. RIP
