wow. insomnia paid off. What a difference in administration makes. Trump's help to Puerto Rico was to throw paper towels into a crowd. Biden, who is opposed to just about everything DeSantis does, calls and assures him that help will be forthcoming.

wow. insomnia paid off. What a difference in administration makes. Trump's help to Puerto Rico was to throw paper towels into a crowd. Biden, who is opposed to just about everything DeSantis does, calls and assures him that help will be forthcoming.
I cannot tell you how thrilled I am about the cap on drug costs. I have a chronic health problem that, before the miracle of a fully-covered drug, cost me well upward of $6000/year on top of premiums and other drugs.
I hope you are off to get some rest. Looking forward to being in the cheering crowd at USM, Portland next month!
“In the Rose Garden today, Biden assured people that his administration ‘is on alert and in action to help the people of Florida.’ Biden approved DeSantis’s request for emergency assistance as soon as he received it, sent in federal assistance before the storm hit, and spoke with the mayors of Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater, the areas most likely to be in the storm’s path.”
These are the actions of a real president -- one who governs for all people.
It's true ...transparent goodness is twisted by twisted people
The Q48ers even think that the Biden in office is an imposter! There is a wide swath of people who now have Capgras syndrome and don't believe Biden is even Biden. Total madness. They were quoted in NYtimes or WP, I forget which.
Jeri, of course you're correct. However, the ingrates would never have voted for Biden, even if he gave them a ton of gold and jewels. Still, anyone on the fence - legacy Republicans or others who don't buy the Democrats' policies but are uncomfortable with the current state of affairs - will see the contrast between the disgusting, toxic behavior of the current right wing and the humane, decent Democratic policies, and that just might swing the pendulum in the direction of reviving democracy. Maybe we can defy midterm malaise - we NEED to.
I agree. While I understand the angst, I'm glad for the contrast, and at least it will help to remember that decency is what we should insist on. We've had too many years of cruelty and depravity.
While religious beliefs can inspire people to be compassionate toward others, the same set of beliefs can also be used to justify cruelty toward others. Why the heck should doing the right thing be only because a person believes in some deity? Besides, when a deity is used to justify doing one thing, it gives credence to those beliefs, which also gives credence for some to use those same beliefs used to make women second class citizens. Doing the right thing, being compassionate, being humble, and accepting even celebrating differences, doesn't have to be because of a directive from a deity. In fact, it would be better if it weren't.
I am trying to understand your motivation for replying to my comment. Do you expect me be swayed to your misunderstanding?
Indeed, so called religious beliefs/cultists exhibit every sort of behavior except love.
The love that consumes me is a faith in a love that is beyond our capacity to fully comprehend…that is why faith is a requirement. Faith is not based upon the conventional wisdom that is the source of your confusion.
Faith is a trust in the wisdom of GOD’s love.
GOD is love and only love.
Everything else that is not loving is not of GOD.
GOD is not a deity construct of human imagination/definition HE is only love.
GOD’s Love is not demanded, it is freely given even to the undeserving which is every human except One.
Lovely read this am, LFAA and comments here. Positive notes on what the Biden-Harris Administration is doing for Americans in the critical areas affecting their lives and Joyful Noise raised by some who have kept hope for this democracy. Refreshing. Facts and praise without paens to "the other side." Ah, peace and celebration. Can almost imagine what we'd get as news were the House and Senate firmly in the hands of We The People. I wax a little today in the shadows.
Maybe my sense of good comes as we had first cold night, house closed up ready for whatever comes, and we're warm, surrounded by fall beauty and a stack of books. Stay well. Continue to enjoy your posts.

Indeed, Rowshan. Biden is killing Republicans with kindness!
And they will repay him with the worst vitriol that they can muster, and they are expert at the cruelest, most twisted blather imaginable.

Doesn’t hurt to hope.

Regrettably, you are right, Jeri 😢
Provided they can recognise that fact!
They will spin it to fit their agenda: whatever good stems from the left is translated by the right as machiavellian and politically motivated. 🤬
Well put, Rose!
Thanks, Rowshan. Your posts are ALWAYS well put 😊
You’re too kind, Rose.

This is a beautiful lesson of Love! A Love story to inspire us!
It is here we see the love of a Christian man, even the love of another man deceived into slavery of the gop’s evil hate.
President Biden is the blessing America needs to save American democratic governance in the ideals of our Founding Fathers.
Truly President Biden loves his neighbor the American citizen, and all people of the world as a Christian man as his faith assures him he is loved.
Matthew 5:43-48
Beautifully put, George, beautifully put!

No matter how badly he is treated by the Republican party! President Biden is a decent human! I am proud to call him my President!

Thanks
Big smile of relief for, "We The People" believers, Eh!?
That half empty glass can now be glimpsed, "... For now we see through a glass, darkly ..." as half full and filling, Eh!?
Scotch or ale in my half helps.
