I listened to President Elect Bidens speech and I was left thinking two things. The first thing was YAY OMGWTFBBQ WE'RE FREE THANK YOU NO MORE TRUMP ROCK ON JOE!
The second thing was "This dude is not a ball of fire."
Can he do what he's promising? I think that everyone who voted for him is of the inclination to pitch in to heal what the last four years has done to this country. But as far as leadership presence goes? Biden said all the right things, invoked all the correct issues, and came across as, God love him, the Calvin Coolidge of 2020.
Can we take it? Are we as a nation big enough people to forego being entertained by our politicians and put in the hard, not fun, dreary, drab, slogging work to truly abolish ignorance and hate? Because Biden isn't going to wave a magic wand and Lo: Harmony reigns! (That was Obama. Keep up.)
He is not what you'd call a demonstrative guy. He seems like a nice, everyday kind of person. I like that. But here's my point: For the past four years, everyone in this nation, Red or Blue, has been jacking off to the Funny Monkey and his Tweets. This poor mook Biden has a long uphill climb, to try and follow that freak show. And face it. The Freak Show was horrible, but it certainly was exciting, wasn't it? Every day a new outrage! Another mindless tweet! Another groping of a foreign dignitary!
Biden is essentially on a tightrope over a bottomless pit of Hot Republican Garbage. Keep your ass over the rope, buddy.
And WTF Republicans? You used to stand for something, as I recall. Less government. Increased states rights. Now you're like those mean girls in grade school, all huddling at 'their' lunch table, hissing shitty insults and tripping the unpopular kids, with the grinning collusion of the Arch Lunch Room Lady, Donald Trump/Vladmir Putin. (Seriously, I was shocked to see how many people I've known for years suddenly throw off their facades and rejoice in letting their inner bigot out to play during the Trump Administration. It was fuckin' scary.) The party that used to be all about self-determination is now nothing but the Ignorant Trailer Park Pukes, violently color-coding their surroundings in blithe disregard of the positive effects of things like public education and genetic diversity.
I don't even know what the hell Montana is any more. Or Utah. Then you head south and run onto Texas and we're all on another planet now, and it's covered in suck. Chunky suck. There's stuff floating in the suck. All the Texans have turned into angry Klingons who didn't make the grade and have to stay on their planet sweeping up all the suck, and they're doing a really bad job. I mean seriously, Republicans! I never thought I'd see the day that I'd actually be able to sit through a documentary clip featuring Richard Nixon and 1. Not start in, or 2. think 'Wow, he was so polite and well-spoken.'
Joe, you have my best wishes. But it's gonna be tough. Nobody is going to be wearing a 'Grab My Pussy Mr. President' t-shirt on your behalf, dude. And that's a good thing, but those bitches are still out there, and so are their husbands, and you scare them to death.
Take no shit, Joe.
Agreed, tough times ahead, for all of us. But, so pleased the US is no longer emitting an orange glow!

I don't think any President delivers what they say, and what I like about Joe is what you called out. The speech was a tad fiery at times I thought, for him anyway. And if it gets nasty, don't worry toots, Kamala will have his back, and get dirty if need be. I was in tears at times...as I have yearned to hear them so so long.
ReplyDeleteI do seriously think he will try to do what he claims. He knows you attract more flies with honey then vinegar. And since Biden won, he being a well liked senator, knows how to work across the aisles, and had a good repour with Mitchy McTurtle... there is promise and hope.
FUCK YEAH STEVE! FUCK THE DUMP AND THE DUMPTARDS!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Joe is like that great Uncle who was cool, but just a bit behind the beat. He's what we need after the hot mess of the last 4 years, that's for sure. His battle, and ours, will be to undo all the fucked up things Trumpito did and also, to ensure that we have the legislation to make sure it never happens again! Despots and degenerates will always be around us, as we have found out, but if we can make sure that education and opportunities are available, we might be able to salvage some of them. I'm trying to be hopeful and stay positive, but we're still in for a rough time until January 20, 2021! xoxo
