and genuinely cheering his ideas. Those behind trump on Sat were looking at themselves on the big screen. Biden had a great message.

A wide range of attendees who were all excited. Not fake fans like dump has behind him who get bored with his grievance BS over and over. Joe covered a wide range of topics and had some great lines. These people felt his message.

POTUS is not backing off or rewording or apologizing because for all the pearl-clutching Republicans who had their fee-fees hurt, Democracy is on the ballot in November.

The GOP who enabled and continue to enable the hate and threats of violence are responsible. And if they can't cleanup their own house?

Democrats, Independents and non-Trump Republicans will do it for them.

Vote Blue through and through! Roe That Vote.

I try to do that every Labor Day.

My husband said Joe Biden should have it played today when he gave a speech.

I was not a union member, but my father was a member of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters. We made sure my brother got that pin when we cleaned out the house.
