re: #8 lawhawk

The fact that we can talk about normal stuff and not focus on the depravities and criminality of the previous WH occupant is refreshing. We can do an entire thread on wineries and good wines to drink and not worry that the WH occupant will launch a nuke to deflect from his other criminal malfeasance in a snit.

Adults are in the room, and we’re getting the government we have long deserved.

While we outlasted Trump, there are more than 400,000+ Americans who lost their lives to covid and we need to keep their memories in our hearts and use that as a motivator to future action and protecting all Americans from threats -foreign and domestic. We need to make sure that we put people first, not that millionaires and billionaires who will profit no matter what happens to the economy.

I can sleep better tonight (and not just because I’m polishing off a bottle of Cline Old Vines Zin) because the adults are in charge - President Biden and VP Harris.

It doesn’t mean that I will always agree with their policies. But I expect that they will have policy and be able to defend their positions with credible information and not simply spew vaporware/malware as prior admin did. I expect that the new admin will actually put together substantive policies and act on them, knowing how govt works and operate within the bounds of the law.

And that’s not mere minimum here. It’s a reminder of just how incompetent, corrupt, and cruel the prior admin was.

and we’ve transitioned in less than a day
