He is going to ask? LMAO!!! That's his plan? LMAO! That's in the same level of "Just Say No" to drugs. Is he going to appoint more government bureaucrats like the Drug Czar and hold lots of meetings and shows for the tv? How is the Drug Czar working out?

What do you look forward to the most in a post-COVID America under the Biden administration? With Biden, Harris, and Dr Fauci at the helm, I’m confident we will get it right. I can’t wait.
Healthcare and an infrastructure bill. Also, not having a new corruption scandal every week.

Just think if our president had followed the science. If he had taken it seriously and asked us all to wear masks many months ago even his supporters would wear them. And just maybe we could have slowed down this pandemic.

The gerrymandering is done insanely biased towards the Republicans. And you are OK with that? Really?

And here is the thing. Its within the rules we've all agreed too. But I wouldn't be proud of it if you really like the idea of a democracy. But we need to all stay within these rules we've all agreed too, because there really are no better choices then to do that. And Trumps really truly pushed these boundaries. Further then anyone should. Its kinda hard to deny that really. The Senate straight up refusing to hear witnesses? What the heck? Justify it how you will I think a lot of folks everywhere started to realize that we needed to pay attention more. Cause that was straight up gangster.

But I also sort of think that stopping some of the things that maybe Republicans care a lot about that maybe Democrats won't push? Maybe some some moderation? In exchange for some progress? Especially on things that both sides might agree on? How about we fund spacex and Boeing to collaborate on making a asteroid mining effort? With a focus on building a lot of it quickly to minimize per unit costs. This means a ton of jobs, and a lot of new jobs that people can be trained into. Would relieve some of the burden on everyone if there are jobs, and its probably more effective then injecting that into unemployment thats likely to really settle in if we dont make a massive jobs program. Heres one with a massive payoff. Thats not to say we dont need some way for folks to make it, we're going to still need to spend there. But every job or opportunity we make there in that big payoff investment is one less person we are paying unemployment. And the payoff of a effort like this? Zero-G manufacturing? R&D? Materials becoming cheap and readily available?

Or we could all squabble like children being unable to compromise? Lets find some ways to do something fun.

yeah, more identity politics. That is going to unite the country. LOL. Gerrymandering is practiced by both parties. Democrats do it in Democrat cities to keep power. Moderation? you voted for a guy that wrote the crime bill, voted and funded every illegal war and bombing since 1973 and wants more endless wars and endless occupations, voted for outsourcing and globalism. Took the most money in history from Wall Street (he owns them) and wants to push Obamacare 2 after 8 years of lying to push us Obamacare.


The only raise of government spending for Boeing is more more endless wars and endless occupations. Do you believe that you will get a different Biden after 47 years? what's next, ask for a unicorn for X-mas?

What are you talking about? It's a cold virus! And you spelled "plandemic" wrong! Masks and social distancing are as necessary as a North Face coat in Phoenix, AZ in July. And "science"? Pfft! It's the same "science" that insists on "global warming" during a 3-foot snowfall.

Increasing voter protection laws, dismantling gerrymandering through the courts and increasing the security of our elections. Then creating policies which minimize the effects of climate change as much as possible. Those would be at the top of my to-do list.

Its all going to be built right here. This is about jobs and infrastructure. And a ton of R&D.

Or pick some other jobs project you prefer. But I think we need to find a solution that helps us with this short term for jobs, and has a long term payoff that will probably also create more jobs.

We could just as easily pick all sorts of other projects. But its got to be something we can do, and agree too. Lets find those, and then fight all around it all and find a reasonable compromise. But there really are things we all agree on that we should get done, and then find some way of making things work out somehow. This trench warfare works just as well as id did in earlier wars. Non stop warfare with no progress, and just horror as it drains us as we cant get anything good done because neither side is winning, were just hurting each other. But you also got to understand, we really are in the majority here. But we also kind of get it, we're not THAT much of a majority either.

And this last round? Trump? What the heck. And his insane election fraud nonsense? This has gotten nuts folks. The world is watching this and going "what the heck is going wrong over there??". They're NEVER going to trust us like they have in the past. And the fraud claims lose over and over and over as it turns out...theres nothing there. It is apparent however that Trumps pocketed probably over 100 million into his own personal PAC. And Trumps tried to do some insane stuff. You know it. This has been nuts. And insanely divisive. We need to talk about our mutually agreed upon rules because I think we need to find a way to agree to not do this sort of nonsense ever again. If Democrats treat you the same way they feel thier preferred government should be? Id be terrified. But heres the thing. The Democrats extremists arent running things. They do have a voice, but we're trying to find a way forward on this.

The Republican extremists grabbed your entire party and pulled it way way too the right. And now Trumps holding yall hostage. Whomever breaks ranks gets mean tweeted, and sees thier polling number drop. People are terrified of being the first, or being in the spotlight. Some of them make run for it, maybe a mumble. Others just decide theyve had enough, and walk into the spotlight. Trump mean tweets, and they just take it hoping that in the end history treats them well and they can claim to be the smart ones. Most are just waiting for the moment that suddenly....they all make a run for it. Hoping that if theres enough of them all at once they can run for the winning side.

Figure yourselves out. And lets get stuff done. Lets figure this out.

Imagine if Biden follow science and when Life begins and wouldn't push for abortions on demand. How many lives would we saved a year. Imagine if Biden finally tells the truth about the endless wars and endless occupations that he has supported and financed for decades that kills an outrage number of people and destroys lives and families. How many lives would be alive. I wonder if Biden would have challenge his boss for 8 years for the illegal killings of the drone program, how many lives wouldn't have been killed?


Imagine that, Democrats are selective on deaths. Deaths is acceptable and pushed by policies when they are in power but unacceptable when they are out of the W.H.



I remember the government telling us "Just Say NO" about drugs and spent millions of dollars in campaign to avoid drugs. How is that working out?



So your suggestion that Biden asking people to wear mask would have save lives is funny and not really a plan. What's next, Biden telling the kids to wear condoms so they don't get pregnant? that's a plan.


Biden is going to tell the kids "Stay in School" "Just Say NO to drugs"......that's a plan.



We have a Drug Czar for decades and a heavy campaign and a crime bill and many people in jail, how did that worked out in saving people from drugs? The plan is Biden asking people. What a plan. LMAO! Yeah! because people will take a liar of 47 years in politics that just this year said he was arrested in Africa and shared a cell with Nelson Mandela very seriously. People were just dying to listen to Biden speak in his campaign rallies. He packed the houses. Long lines of people waiting to listen to what Biden has to say.
