The Official Gosh Darned Biden Thread
February 5, 2021 at 2:11 pm
As a counterpoint to ‘The Official Damned Trump Thread’, use the space to post what you like or don’t like about Joe Biden so far. Opinions, memes, analysis, unhinged rants - anything.
I think he’s got his eye on the ball - he’s doing what he said he’d do and for the reasons he said he’d do them. And maybe it’s a case of comparison, but so far he seems adequately presidential.

So far, no drama. And I really don't expect drama and rage-Tweets. Even though there's still plenty of crazy to go around, it's pretty darn calm while Biden and Harris do their jobs.

I’m also kind of impressed that he’s been President for 16 days and hasn’t played a single round of golf. It’s almost like he takes the job seriously or something.

Biden is the anti Morton Downey Jr, Jerry Springer show. Biden is the anti WWE , Duck Dynasty Show.

He's doing unity all wrong, not even trying to fuck the poors. IDK, maybe he'll become presidential next week.

Kudos to the White House for utilizing ASL interpreters. It's about damn time.

The Wife has been dealing with this issue for awhile, she's gonna nerd seeing it on the national radar. Certain to be a criteria that alot of people judge the biden admin on.

I liked Biden's comment today, "We're not waiting on the GOP, we're getting the relief package through." (From memory.)

It's like being a halfway decent fella meeting a bright, beautiful gal fresh off a bad relationship. In slightly exceeding her low expectations, you become the one she's eager to settle for. Thanks, Gary!
Or a new coach that elevates a losing team to mediocrity. "Hey, only a few games were complete humiliation this season. Give this guy a crazy big contract." Four years later: "The buyout is WHAT?"
