When I cast my vote for President Biden, I wasn't expecting much. I just wanted trump out of office.

I knew he was old.
I knew he had a stutter.
I knew he had a rep for "gaffes."
I didn't care. Just wanted trump gone.

Four years later, things are different.
I wasn't expecting that President Biden would be the most legislatively successful President in my lifetime.

I wasn't expecting him to help expand NATO.
I wasn't expecting him to lower insulin & inhalers.
I wasn't expecting him to create & recover 15m jobs.
I wasn't expecting him to bring manufacturing back.
I wasn't expecting him to forgive student debt.

But he did ALL those things, and more.
He surpassed my expectations by a lot.
And he has more planned for 2025-2028.

He's not a master orator,
He doesn't move so smoothly
But neither did FDR from his wheelchair.

Meanwhile, trump is STILL a threat.
He wants to be a dictator.
He wants to stay out of prison.
He wants revenge on his enemies.
He wants to take away from the poor and middle class and give to the ultra wealthy.
His Project 2025 will enable a national abortion ban to criminalize women seeking safe and legal abortions.
His Project 2025 will take away the rights of our LGBTQ family and friends.
His Project 2025 will transform the government into a loyalty pledge, not to America but to him ALONE.
We might never have another free election.

THAT is what is at stake in this election.

We can continue to progress with Biden policies, or we can let trump destroy democracy as we know it.

If you're looking for someone who's young and athletic, go watch a fucking movie.

I'll take the old guy who needs a nap while saving democracy over the old guy trying to overthrow democracy who needs a legal team.

@GaiaBordicchia Hope you had a good day, welcome to another trip around the sun.

@GaiaBordicchia @inprnt I have the Dragon Mountain from the Nucleus show, like some of the others here, bookmarked it for when my head is up to deciding.

@GaiaBordicchia Like that one, great cast and many layers.

You know how I realized I had "made" it? It wasn't buying a 300 million dollar yacht. It was when I didn't have to weigh my fruit at the supermarket and calculate if I could afford it. I almost cried. I still think about that every time I go grocery shopping.

@hudsonette I’ve seen enough descriptions this evening to pass unless it has drastic improvements, and rather hesitant to deal with that source given their nonsense on existing platforms they already run badly.

[Lee Booth @lee_booth]

@hudsonette Yet another year has passed, this place has changed, and I’m still glad to know you. Hope the day treats you well.

@GaiaBordicchia Not sure I read the books, but loved the movie. Cannot wait for the next.

Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis. His efforts went unrecognized for 50 years. Then in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he’d rescued, now adults.

I like to remember this every Jan 27th.
