Sleepy Joe is putting "respect" back into the executive branch. He is old yes. So is the donald. So am I for that matter. Sleepy Joe came from a humble back ground and earned his success the old fashioned way...he worked for it. The donald was given a million dollars and used it to game the system. Sleepy Joe has pushed through policy that will help this country recover from a pandemic, the effects of climate change, the economy and hopefully will finance it with that group who pays much less in percentage of taxes that you and I pay for. It is amazing to me what old sleepy Joe has accomplished from the shambles of a democracy that the donald left for him. I understand why you choose not to use common sense. You are angry at people especially those in politics for a long time. We actually have some room to agree on things but your emotions will never let you get down to the common sense of what is happening around you. Sure, change is difficult and you and I may not understand all this social change but we should be able to agree on quite a lot...except your eyes and ears are only open to an alternative reality that has been preached right down your throat. Open your eyes and you will see...
I don't think you read your post. I am the one with common sense. What is happening all around everyone is that our prices are going up and up. Taxes are going up . in the new climate bill all of us will pay more for everything not just the Top 15%. i'm all for the Extra Rich paying their fare share. Sadly this bill screws all of us. Biden hasn't worked outside of government his whole life. So I don't agree that he worked for it. Yes he is the president while we are recovering from a pandemic. If it were up to him we would all still be in a lockdown. It was Donald that got the vaccine produce in warp speed time. Biden cant even get monkey pox shots or baby formula on our shelves. So no I don't think the Biden administration is good for us. They are not addressing the border disaster they created and they are not doing anything for the growing crime , mostly because of their Defund the police mode. Yes i'm angry at what this administration has done and what they haven't done. They sit on their hands while our country is going to Hell. It's funny you tell me to open my eyes, they are wide open, that's why I see all the nonsense the Dems are pushing . Lets agree we need to get on the right track and get our current administration to start acting for the American people.

I think you are so right. Since any normal person with a brain can see what has happen to our wonderful country since this administration took over. Oh my didn’t you just laugh so hard when she stated about Trump speaking vs Biden. I had to tell a few people about it , cuz it was so dam funny. I always wonder in the polls when they say Biden approval rating is like 31%. I keep wonder how it could possibly be that 31% of American think he is actually doing anything good for the American people. We’ll I guess we know a few now. So if these are the 31% , no wonder . I guess they have their heads in the sand. I think if they think he’s so great, they should go to the border and help out the left. Maybe that would shut them up. At the least they would have to pull their heads out of the sand . Have a great weekend.
Yes, Biden is not polling well because of the economy. Obviously he polled better up against Trump :) I do give credit to the republican party for some of Biden's polling. That party has lost their sense of human morality and now can't help but preach an alternative reality and hatred. I have often thought about what is true evil and I keep coming back to pure hatred. I see it on both sides and if we do not get a handle on this political division it will not bode well for any of us...

What am I missing ? What hatred and true evil ? I'm a independent and always have been. i've voted both sides. I agree we need to get a handle on the division . I don't see the Republican party loss of human morality . They are fighting for people to come to our country LEGALLY . They are fighting against out of control crime. They are fighting for the out of control spending by the Dems.

I think the Biden administration is on the right track but there is one thing that will derail the American people. Anger. Hatred. Lack of real conversation. Placing too much blame on any one person. I do blame trump for our division but he was not to blame for Covid. Trump said things that are not right. Biden says things that are not right. Only our anger and hatred for each other will prevent us from finding the truth...

I ask you to research Joe Biden's back ground. He overcame so many obstacles like speech (stuttering). Then compare it to trump's background. Old Joe or sleepy joe became our President only because he ran against a dictator. He may have lost to anyone other than a dictator.

Capitalist actually want cheap labor. I see it right here in Walton County but it is everywhere. Heck I am a capitalist. I imagine you are too. The whole immigration/border problem is something that needs to be solved but it has been politicized by the republican party. There is no common sense in building a wall because they will keep coming. That wall is just eye candy for a political party that has lost common sense and good judgement.

I will look into Joe's past. I wish he would stand up to the Left and do what he thinks is right. He is being a puppet to the left agenda. I would call Trump a buisness man not a dictator. He got our county on the right track. Yes he could have been nicer and less tweets. But he was all about American people and our military. I wish we could find a middle of the road type to help us out of this mess we are in now.

If we only listen to one source of news we will become biased, upset and angry. Listen to the news but when it starts making you angry change the channel. There is common ground on most all issues even abortion. That common ground was just broken by a Supreme Court that is biased by a conservative majority. I say listen to our sense of what is right and wrong. I say try not to be a hypocrite. I do not want our government telling me that they know what is best for my body. I have my own senses to do that. Take out the religious context because those words in the bible are not all from God himself. Men wrote that work of art but men are flawed as all humans are flawed.

I've never thought of myself as a Capitalist. But it does fit a lot of what I believe in. The wall is a big question with me. All the boarder workers seem to think it helps them do their job. We just have to say the boarder is closed and stop inviting these people to come. They get more benefits than our Vets or homeless. It's a big mess we are in and we all need to get together and fix it.

Well the hope is in you and I and all of us to find common ground and use our common sense. Not all business men are good for policy making in a complex society. Trump used the system. Just look at how he manipulated the bankruptcy laws. I do not know Trump or Biden personally. All I have to go on is their history. Neither are perfect because they are human beings but one of them is less perfect than the other and that is how we vote...

i agree with the not letting the government tell me what to do with my body. They can't have it both ways. it is a bit confusing to say one thing about abortion , but then they say you have to get a vaccine in your body to be in the military or go to work. The supreme court just put abortion back to the state to vote.

What is amazing to me is that there are solutions to immigration. We need people willing to work jobs we Americans do not want. I wish Americans would do these jobs but they don't. If it is a family of workers who want to come in to this country then fine with me but they have to pay the same taxes that I pay. If it is a criminal that wants to come into this country then not fine with me. The only reason we can not solve these problems is political division. It's crazy that we let politics do this to us.

yes we have common ground, we both want our country to do better. Yes Trump used the bankruptcy laws . He didn't write those laws. Sadly these are legal laws on the books that all people use everyday. We need to get rid of them for once and all. Too many people use these everyday.

Then let us vote. I do not want the power in charge telling me what to do with my body. Vaccines are not mandatory and so you have to make a choice and use good judgement. Hopefully you will make that choice with science based facts but if you don't then that is between you and your judgement. Power is telling women they do not have a choice which is called oppression.

No he did not right the laws but because of his wealth and influence he affected those laws being written.

we need to get rid of the left and right and just have people who want what is good for the American people. There is way to many people who work for the government, we need to cut the fat.

Vaccines are mandatory in military now and some government departments. That is why we are so low on our military personal now. All women have a choice to go out and vote for what they want in their state. I don't feel the Fed government should not be involved.

I bet we all agree that term limits need to be reformed. I bet we all agree that campaign finance needs to be reformed. I bet we all can agree on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness even when we do not fully know another person's mind and heart. When the issues get complicated then rely on your common sense and good judgement. I am a white Male and when I look in the mirror I do not see my privileges but they are there. I need to change. We need to change...

Well it is not mandatory for me and my family and we all got the vaccine. Some of us got Covid but we are all still here so I think we made the right choice. I have looked at the upcoming ballots and I do not see where women or men have a vote in Florida on abortion for women. I really do not even know if men should have a vote on what is best for a woman's body. I do see that clinics are losing funding from those in power not to mention the personal attacks.

The federal government must be involved when it comes to human rights. A woman's right to choose is a human right.

I also got the vaccine and booster. Never got Covid. The state representative has to put it on the ballot. Good point about men voting . It’s sad that clinics are loosing funding. It’s also sad that federal government is cutting funding for school lunches if the school doesn’t have a trans bathroom or let teacher talk to our kids about gender . We are talking about grade school. That is a parents job the the teachers. There is just so much wrong with this crazy world. How do we take it back? I feel so worried for my grandkids.

Yes many things that we need to talk about including individual rights for all people and not dictate what is best for us. I think we fear that we do not understand and then politics creates division when we should be having discussions. We have bullies in our schools and in our politics who oppress groups that we do not agree with or understand. We should not be cutting funding because of it does not match up to our politics. We should teaching our children not to be a bully, listen to those you do not understand and live and let live. Pulling books off the shelves is going down a path of repeating our history of oppression. Why is it so hard for us to admit mistakes? We should be learning from our mistakes not repeating them. We have a lot of people on this planet and we have to find a way to get along if we want peace, love and harmony. If we spend all our time telling each other how to behave then we are missing the point of life. Life is good. Life is bad. Live and let live...

Your post read like China gave Dems some money.:lol:
Well we are actually the ones giving money to China. . The lower inflation bill they are trying to pass, will be having China making all of the American green bill equipment that it needs. They will be paying them billions and billions of our American money to make all the new green Deal supplies . Please keep in mind that China is using coal and fossil fuels to make these supplies and they will not be using any of it themselves. They will keep using Coal and fossil fuel that we are taking away from the American people. UMMMMM do you understand how Stupid this is ? The whole world needs to get on same page with global climate change or it doesn't work.

Oh My, that was great. I totally agree. i feel our biggest problem is social media. it is terrible for our world. Too many bullies and it has made people lose their common sense. Just like you said learn from mistakes and don't repeat them.
