It’s so unfair that this man again has to endure another unimaginable situation. Why I will never understand.

God be with him and his family. I will be praying for him.

As a 50 year retired union member Joe Biden is the most labor, friendly president in the history of our country and to see how some members of labor turned on him in the last last four years . their behavior definitely did what the facists in the , republican party intended divide and conquer , love you, Joe you’ve been a major player in my career. I just wanna say thanks man thank you very much.

Sun May 18, 2025, 06:50 PM
May 2025

By insisting that the post-COVID recovery be bottom-up instead of top-down, he went against the traditional recovery strategy favored by both parties, which was to just pump billions into the banks. The results contributed some to inflation but experts were genuinely surprised that a recession didn't follow because all their models were based on the traditional strategy. Biden rewrote the playbook on them. That's real, meaningful leadership. But we don't seem to hear a lot about it because it goes against the "wisdom" of the usual vested interests in finance and the media.

birds-eye-view of the United States Government, for what seems like a very long time. I can't recall when he first entered my awareness space, but I think it was he and Chuck Hagel in some committee meeting laughing their asses off at something. Back in the day, when there were still a few almost decent Republicans.

I hope the Biden appreciation grows, and then grows some more! I hope people finally wake up to what it meant to have an HONEST President, who didn't get there by lying about almost everything, and plastering his name on everything else.

It's like comparing an ant hill to Mount McKinley.

who's always worked on behalf of the people, PRESIDENT Biden has been much UNDER-APPRECIATED. I feel that, and have always felt so. He never got the accolades he deserved.

So to those who continually dismissed, demeaned, and denounced him, like Trump, so-called political pundits, journalists et al, I don't want to hear of thoughts or prayers, or anything of the sort.

Like Obama, Biden was a better PRESIDENT than many deserved.

Of that, I am certain.

….. who are carrying on the fight today without America or Trump right now.



He was wheels up Monday @ 3 am in D.C. flew straight through to Germany for fuel and
then onto Warsaw from there he took a train to Kyiv … btw as they train started rolling we
called the Russians and told them don’t even think about anything…. got in sometime in the
am …. And showed up @ Zelenskyy’s Home @ 8 AM sharp and he was looking sharp too.

And after Ukraine Joe met with the leadership guys from multiple European Countries and put
together a multilateral partnership that was so good that after Trump cheated his way back in
and they all knew he was “Russian Dirty” that partnership came together and wrote Trump and
America out of European Affairs and moved on without Trump. Joe’s fingerprints are all over the
new power European power structure right now.

And, no matter how sick or senile he was, he somehow managed to reduce the deficit, have good status with our allies, help keep Ukraine afloat, give us the American Rescue Plan, lowered inflation caused by COVID, gave us the Respect For Marriage Act, job growth every month of his presidency and good, precautionary COVID guidelines and protections.

Thank You, Mr. President.
