Many good quotes here. A hit of morale for troops to lift up their heads. Chastening the press for their silliness, backhanded well-deserved slap at Barr. Alluded to presidential illegal acts undermining our democracy. Meta environment is we are back to normal press conferences without the degradation we’ve been subject to for the past four years.

Imagine having a president again you’re not ashamed of or horrified by. And whoever’s slicing those onions, knock it off.

This.

This is what leadership looks like.

This is what America used to look like.

I want this America back.

At least there is a post-speech post. Why couldn’t it be live?

Oh well…small favors.

Maybe Biden needs to issue his announcements as “Trump presser” to fool them into covering it?

Joe has the fire in his belly…and I don’t feel it’s a fire for his own power and sake. He is angered and concerned for the nation he has served and loved for over 40 years.

I got the story on my FB feed at about the same time it made an appearance on the front page. Sometimes, I don’t get the Biden stories until they show up on FB and THEN I can see they’ve actually done something.

Yup. Truly the right person for the moment given who is in the WH. Bernie or others could never have brought this fight like he can.

I really love that he’s passionate…and yet in control. Truly the adult in the room.

I’d forgotten what that was like.

VP Biden (soon to get a job promotion) for years has closed his speeches with the following:

“May god protect our troops”

This is real for him no BS.

Bernie probably would have made a statement as well, but it just wouldn’t have that je ne sais quoi Biden can bring.
