1. I thought we just did the whole "exciting" thing...

how'd that turn out for us?

[relayerbob]

8. Yes, that's my thought

I've had enough "excitement".

There's a reason for the old curse: "May you live in interesting times"

[coti]

17. You read my mind exactly.

I've had WAY more excitement than I care for over the past four years. I'm ready for boring as shit. Though it still won't be that. We have things to do.

[SoonerPride]

2. I think sane and humane IS exciting.

🤷🏻?♂️

[Rebl2]

11. I do too!

[Hortensis]

25. Me too. Really! You and the OP said it well, but I'm also

in full agreement with

After Trump, and the other 2016 populist choice, I may jerk and quiver nervously for the rest of my life at the first warning of a "charismatic leader" on the prowl for followers.

[CatLady78]

29. I have frequently thought this

I want dull, boring and competent in my leaders...There is tv for the other stuff...

[peacebuzzard]

38. yes, indeed it is.

I am ready for some quiet time.
This country and planet needs rescue, like someone posted above there is much work to do.

[MustLoveBeagles]

4. I'll take Sanity and Competence any day of the week

[Rebl2]

12. Yes please

I want that in the next president

5. Charles Pierce wrote this in "Idiot America" (2009):

"The important thing about running for president was to make sure that people were willing to cast you as president in their minds. ... The presidency had conformed itself to the Great Premises of Idiot America. Anything could be true, so long as you said it loudly enough, appeared to believe it, and enough people believed it fervently enough. Expertise, always, was beside the point, and the consequence had been both hilarious and dire: a disordered nation that applied the rules of successful fiction to the reality around it, and that no longer could distinguish very well the truth of something from its popularity."

And then when there are intelligent, competent and humane leaders they get nitpicked to death for being too much this and not enough that.

[LuvNewcastle]

23. That's an astute observation.

I haven't seen too many writers who describe so accurately the problems we face in choosing a leader. Too bad those who need to see this the most never will.

[Hulk]

6. Second time in my lifetime we, as a nation, fell for the "celebrity"...

...and we got spanked both times...this time really good.

The first one had some brains and played the stooge well for the GOP to unravel the American Dream.

This time we, as a nation, were dumb enough to place an insulting, pathetic coward in the White House with NOT ONE redeeming quality...NOT ONE! And I guess we, as a nation, wanted to see if we as a nation could survive with even the most deplorable excuse of a human being as a president. We got our answer.

We survived, but my God, did WE and the rest of the world suffer as a result of our folly. It will take generations to recover..but we will. We deserve their scorn and resentment. We, as a nation, allowed this test on our government, and I don't believe we will ever regain our place among great nations again...certainly not in OUR lifetime.

Dumb move. And now we have all these fucking idiots who crawled out of their closets to deal with. Maybe we will be a better nation, a better world, after we are done dealing with these enabling, selfish, ignorant cult of hypocritical jackasses; but I have to believe this was a totally UNnecessary test we placed on the world.

Now let's clean it up, one politician at a time in November and beyond. THEY are doomed...or WE are.

[napi21]

39. The next time someone asks Joe what he will do in his firat 100 days, I want him to answer...

"I will spend every day replacing all the DT idiots he put in positions they can't & don't want to do! It will take all 100 days PLUS to get our Country back to working & respectable again!"

[Hulk]

40. My thoughts exactly..

He and his administration really have their work cut out for them to clean up the sloppy mess if a draft-dodging coward created.

[relayerbob]

7. Plenty of "whine", though

[OneCrazyDiamond]

9. I like to take a break if the roller coaster makes me sick.

8 years should be enough time.

[Duppers]

10. Excellent! Retweet, retweet

Let's help clap back, folks.

[Sogo]

13. Bravo!!

I think we're done with "exciting."

We want "normal."

[Upthevibe]

14. Excellent...

I saw this earlier today and took a picture....

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. Well said

I get rather tired of the perfectionists.

[IronLionZion]

16. I'll take a few gaffes now and then

[nuxvomica]

18. Joe becoming the president would bring a special kind of excitement

The kind one feels when winning a lottery jackpot, or finding the runaway puppy you thought you'd never see again, or being told there's no longer any trace of the cancer.

[Sloumeau]

19. I find the idea of replacing Trump with someone with lots of experience very exciting. :) nt

[spanone]

20. Amen

[klook]

21. Perfect. (nt)

[Cha]

22. Yeah, I've said from the beginning when I'd

see that written.. that Joe Biden most certainly is Exciting!

Democracy and not being sold out to Putin is damn exciting.. read Biden's webpage.. Good Exciting Stuff!

Love the Tweet.. TY, tblue.. Rt!

24. 'Exciting' DJT has a personal death count over 150,000 and still climbing.

Tired of winning.

26. I'll pick honesty, integrity, and competence over "exciting" any day.

Trump's presidency is exciting...like a plane crash is exciting; like a tornado is exciting; like an 8.5 earthquake is exciting.
Excitement isn't necessarily a good thing. It is often part of a tragic experience.

Trump's presidency is tragic...like a plane crashing during a tornado in an 8.5 earthquake.

Please! Give me boring, everyday competence that's highlighted by a lack of crazy-ass tweets and grossly incompetent sycophants making a mockery of our laws and institutions.

I would love to be lulled to sleep each night by a presidential administration that doesn't scare the shit out of me every single day; a presidential administration I can trust to do what is right and lawful, and is actually good for the people of this country, not just good for the president.

Give me Joe Biden for peace of mind and good old boring integrity!

The kind of excitement I want to see is Biden's Attorney General taking the criminal elements of the Trump administration to task for their crimes. That and the cleansing of the Trump taint from all aspects of our Federal Government.

Now that's a popcorn and soda main feature I could watch over and over and over again.

[NJCher]

27. Why are your standards so low?

What is needed is someone with some creativity, intelligence, and new ideas. We are in crisis and we're given a choice of a couple geriatrics with geriatric ideas. I have nothing against older people, but when their thinking reeks of another day-another time, it's a mistake. "Build back better?" Please.

In America, it's too much to expect a candidate who has ideas like universal health care and other programs that are a benefit to the American middle class. The country is too far gone. It's been bought and sold and the fact that so many only want relief from a certified nut case says so.

Countries like New Zealand or Canada--that's more my idea of what a country should be.

[JI7]

28. How boring are these people that they are looking to Politics for Excitement

[smirkymonkey]

30. What I wouldn't give for a break from this daily madness and constant turmoil!

A sane, calm, competent leader is what I long for. Someone who doesn't keep me up me up at night and who doesn't constantly have my stomach in knots.

I can't wait for a "No Drama" president who just does his job and isn't always trying to stir up shit. Biden will be a welcome salve for this broken nation.

[warmfeet]

31. I am very excited to vote

for a sane, pro-democratic leader. The contrast to what we currently have excites me very much.

[gollygee]

32. I very much look forward to having a boring president. nt

[ibegurpard]

33. Biden is fine

He's a good man who will appoint fair judges and try to build necessary alliances with fractured constituencies.
No he does not excite me. Kicking repukes to the curb excites me.

[Iggo]

34. You want exciting? Trump is exciting.

Get the fuck over it.

[usaf-vet]

35. Excuse me I have had enough excitement from Trump to last a lifetime. I'm hoping to see him gone.

I'm not sure which will make me happier him being gone or being a recent cancer survivor.

[StarfishSaver]

36. Perfect

I am so sick and tired of the "he's not exciting/inspiring" whine.

We don't need to be excited or inspired right now. We need someone to dig us out of the mess we're in. Biden's the person to do that. I don't care if he's the most boring person on earth - which he isn't.

[ProfessorGAC]

37. +1

We need blowtorch fire now, not smoke (& mirrors).
We need knowledge & competence to fix what was broken, not inspirational but undeliverable promises.
If one needs "exciting" they haven't been paying attention.

42. It said that's like people being rescued from a war zone complaining that the rescue plane doesn't

serve wine.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

43. thx. It's a good analogy. . . . nt

[Collimator]

44. Good governance is rarely exciting.

Sports games and other forms of entertainment are meant to be exciting.
Our President's job is not to entertain us.

If we were toddlers going on a long car ride, our President's job is to make certain the straps are secure on the car seat and that the car isn't headed over a cliff. Pulling out the keys from the ignition and turning around to dangle the keys in our face might make our boredom more palatable, but it will quickly get everyone in the car killed.
