sounds like a home run. President Biden needs to do this more, it changes the narrative back where it belongs, that he's the best president in my lifetime.

Some of us were feeding the cat and washing up the dishes.

I knew it was today why would I think it would be at 9 a.m. in the morning? Jesus.

No wonder Republicans only get their news about what Biden says from second and third hand sources. So am I.

And now Republicans have all day and night to lie about it.

You can watch it, still. It's available. Will you?

I found out the time this morning, and watched it live. It interrupted my breakfast, but I didn't mind one bit.

IIRC, Biden spoke once during the campaign about taking someone behind the work-shed.

Well, Biden just beat Trump down in one round.

I can't imagine anyone else in that job right now. Biden certainly is the right person for this time. It is like everything in his life was preparing him for this moment.

important than even that is to protect our Republic. I don't know if any jury will convict Trump though he deserves it. But I do know he is out of power and that is a good thing.

We must fight for this Repbublic and maybe that includes TFG being convicted of his many crimes and maybe it doesn't; either way, we need to save our Republic and must unite in order to do this.

This is what I have been expecting, and have written about. It is time to begin lowering the boom on the GQP.

So, I missed the live speech. However, just picked up POTUS's address on tape. Powerful, to the point, no punches pulled.

This was the best speech President Biden has given to date.

We are truly standing at an inflection point in the country. A reckoning is coming when every American will be required to choose our direction for the future, our form of governance--a democratic Republic vs an autocratic state posing as a nation of laws, free elections, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, etc. This isn't about party loyalty anymore. It's about defining ourselves as Americans, who and what we wish to be going forward.

The moment is upon us.

By not saying his name, he dissed TFG seriously. That is going to absolutely enrage "the former President." But, the funny thing is that nobody cares any longer what the Defeated Former President (DFP) is feeling. He will soon be shedding even many of his loyal followers, some of whom will be heard from publicly in the committee hearings, I think.
