Botany's JournalForget about that jerk from W.V. (for a moment). Joe Biden has been doing a great job.
President Biden has protected:
President Obama's N. Atlantic Marine Monuments (protects fish stocks and whales)
Chaco Canyon in New Mexico
Bears Ears & Grand Staircase Escalante in Utah
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska from oil and gas development
Tongass Rain Forest in S.E. Alaska
The Cooper River Watershed and Bristol Bay in Alaska
And don't forget he and Jill have now protected "Commander" too.
I'm in line @ the USPS and John Lennon's " This is Xmas"
Just played. 41 years late and it still hurts. I felt like singing along. It was sad and it was sweet when I wore a younger man's clothes.
Never forget Liz Cheney has always known the truth, 'You fucking did this.' (to Jim Jordan 1/6/21)
https://twitter.com/joncoopertweets/status/1470969559150649346Liz Cheney smacked GOP Rep. Jim Jordan's hand away when he tried to escort her during the
Capitol riot, telling him,'You fucking did this.'
If proven to be true why should any of these people be allowed to sit in Congress. They supported a violent coup whose
purpose it was might have been the killing the Speaker of the House and the Vice President, cause massive violence and
bloodshed, in order to allow Trump to declare martial law in and stop the Constitutionally mandated peaceful change of power.
Merry Christmas and the Santa, Jesus, & the Easter Bunny live! TFG and O'Reilly's "history tour"
https://twitter.com/BrittanyWallman/status/1469833026502811656Tell me again on how he is gonna win in 2024?
3 more dates to in TFG & Bill O'Luffa's "history tour." 1 more in FL tonight and 2 in Texas next week.
I predict local right wing radio in Texas next week will be holding lots of ticket give away promos.
Why is Jeff Bezos launching his vanity space flight today when one his Amazon facilities just got ..
... flattened in Illinois killing and or injuring some of the people who have helped make him so successful?
Couldn't he have held off for a few days?
Is it just me? The timing seems a little gouache.
Do you want to win big in '22 & '24? We can not let the republicans control the the narrative.
The facts alone are brutal.
Why:
Are they deliberately trying to spread the disease? We know that vaccines and masks work so why are they trying to
bock those measures? Or are they so sick that they want the disease to spread so they can blame Joe Biden?
Or do they want the disease to spread so it disrupts society? (Chaos Theory.)
Did the right wing try to stage a coup in order to keep power?
Are "they" blocking any investigations into what they have done?
Look @ all the good things that Joe has done and how those things will help America and Americans.
We have to push back on the MSM's hit job on Biden.
We have to get a voter's right bill through.
Remember that we have about 20 to 30% of brutal racist dumb fucks in America. If you get up 1st
thing in the morning and you are worried about guns and or abortion we will never get those votes so
do not bother trying.
Statement of President Joe Biden on the Passing of Senator Bob Dole
Statement of President Joe Biden on the Passing of Senator Bob Dole
December 05, 2021
• Statements and Releases
A month after being sworn in as President, one of the first conversations I had with anyone outside the White House was with our dear friends, Bob and Elizabeth Dole, at their home in Washington. Bob had recently been diagnosed with lung cancer, and I was were there to offer the same support, love, and encouragement that they showed me and Jill when our son Beau battled cancer, and that the Doles have shown us over the half century we’ve been friends.
Like all true friendships, regardless of how much time has passed, we picked up right where we left off, as though it were only yesterday that we were sharing a laugh in the Senate dining room or debating the great issues of the day, often against each other, on the Senate floor. I saw in his eyes the same light, bravery, and determination I’ve seen so many times before.
In the Senate, though we often disagreed, he never hesitated to work with me or other Democrats when it mattered most. He and Ted Kennedy came together to turn Bob’s lifelong cause into the Americans with Disabilities Act — granting tens of millions of Americans lives of greater dignity. On the Social Security Commission, he led a bipartisan effort with Pat Moynihan to ensure that every American could grow old with their basic dignity intact. When he managed the bill to create a federal holiday in the name of Martin Luther King, Jr. — a bill that many in his own caucus opposed — I will never forget what he said to our colleagues: “No first-class democracy can treat people like second-class citizens.”
Another bipartisan effort, the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program, provided school meals and food for nursing mothers and young children. It saved the lives of countless young people who would otherwise have died in infancy — and brought dignity to tens of millions of families at home and abroad. This work, for Bob, was about more than passing laws. It was written on his heart.
Bob was an American statesman like few in our history. A war hero and among the greatest of the Greatest Generation. And to me, he was also a friend whom I could look to for trusted guidance, or a humorous line at just the right moment to settle frayed nerves. I will miss my friend. But I am grateful for the times we shared, and for the friendship Jill and I and our family have built with Liddy and the entire Dole family.
Bob was a man to be admired by Americans. He had an unerring sense of integrity and honor. May God bless him, and may our nation draw upon his legacy of decency, dignity, good humor, and patriotism for all time.
