#President Biden Begins Trending After He Hit Grand Slam

Last night Donald Trump gave such an astoundingly awful speech about the coronavirus response, overnight stock market trading immediately began plummeting the moment he stopped speaking. The nation is worried, confused, sick of this guy, and looking for real leadership. That’s when Joe Biden stepped to the plate today.

Joe Biden delivered a coronavirus speech this afternoon that was authoritative, stately, reasonable, reassuring. Biden knew what he was talking about. He laid out specifics. He’s not even President, and he’s already doing more to provide solutions and leadership in the coronavirus crisis than the zombie in the Oval Office is doing.

It’s been too long since we have heard how a REAL President sounds!

Go Joe

could sound so good?

I hate to say this, but the other day when Mike Pence gave a press conference, I was a bit shocked. Of course, there was nothing about it that was exceptional or noteworthy, but he spoke in complete sentences and appeared to have a vocabulary of over 100 words. I don't think he said "tremendous" one time and never mentioned politics. So, Donald Trump makes even Mike Pence look and sound presidential!

This contentious primary hasn't helped either. Once we definitely have a nominee, we can start focusing on taking back the White House. Everyone is so exhausted.

but it feels like 30.

Glad to hear my boy Joe did real good today, although I can't say I'm terribly surprised.

After watching clips of that imbecile speaking from the Oval Office last night, I'll be happy to just have a POTUS who can actually read.

Maybe I should have, but I couldn’t imagine forcing myself to listen to lies. I watched the inauguration, the first State of the Union, the SCOTUS hearings-all under the belief that I was experiencing “history.” I just can’t anymore. This is still history, but it’s a very dark chapter, and the horror over the reality has become overwhelming. I never thought that I could be so disappointed in my fellow Americans. They would rather see family members die than admit that they made a poor choice.

but seeing clips was unavoidable. I keep my remote next to my desktop and whenever the Fuhrer comes on I'll either mute or switch channels.

They need to invent a smart TV that automatically mutes the volume whenever a Republican speaks.

Still, after less than 30 seconds, I was experiencing the same revulsion I always feel whenever this despicable, irredeemable piece of human excrement speaks publicly. I quickly turned it off before I threw something at my tv.

8. Seattle Mayor Jenny A. Durkan said today to Ari Melber...
Thu Mar 12, 2020, 05:15 PM
Mar 2020

on his MSNBC TV show "The Beat" that in Seattle area alone, that her experts estimate that if they do not take sufficient action now, the estimated 1100 cases that they have right now in the Seattle area, which includes their estimate of the number of people who have the virus but have not yet been tested, will by April 7th become 25,000 cases and result in 400 deaths in the Seattle area alone.

So far we have the NBA, the NHL, and the NCAA canceling their tournaments and their seasons. We have Disneyworld closing, New York City banning all events over 500 people, effectively shutting down NYC's Broadway Theatre District. We have Amazon telling their employees not to come into work, and the stock market falling 2300 points.

Please, Donald Trump, tell us again how this is all a hoax created by the Democrats and how the number of cases in the U.S. will go from 15 to 10 to 5 to zero. Tell us how the real problem is the media blowing this problem out of proportion, you pathetic moron.

and start acting like he's president.

It would reassure people and make for a smoother transition when the time comes. It would be more effective than traditional campaigning. People would definitely support it.
