The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

God that almost makes it sad.

There's something very Gloria Swanson about that statement. Fully expect they'll find a body in the pool at Mar-a-Lago at some point soon.

Stimulus passes.

$1,400 free money yes, $300 unemployment through September 6, no minwage increase

That $1,400 is such a bizarre remnant of Trump's presidency.

Better late than never I say.

Kind of embarrassing for Biden to be dunked on on one of his key campaign promises, the minimum wage increase. But if we get everybody vaccinated and the economy opened again quickly maybe everybody will be thinking good things about Democrats come 2022. We'll see.

I liked Biden's speech last night.  It's nice being able to listen to a presidential speech again. :)

I keep expecting the bizarre ranting to start, and I keep being pleasantly surprised when it doesn't! 😄

Centrist dads - unite! Biden is proposing the literal dream apparently:

Three words to describe the first weeks of the Biden administration: boring but radical.

More seriously this is just the latest iteration of the GOP struggling to find an attack line v Biden.

Boring but radical doesn't sound so bad to me.

The most common attack line is clearly dementia and he is just a puppet.

I don't have a television and just consume internet nonsense, so I rarely do anything more than read about Biden. When I do see him, in debates or making speeches, it is shocking that he succeeds in putting sentences together. The attack line is undermined by having to eventually meet reality.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

It's true of all the Republican attack lines - they just don't match what is either reality or the public perception of Biden which will be really difficult to move given that it's been shaped by decades of him being in the public eye. I think they probably need to work out some others.
