I can never picture any Republican president being like this. . .

Every once in a while, I like to watch this video clip of Joe Biden comforting a grieving Parkland family to remind myself what compassionate leadership looks like.

This is the stuff I truly miss.

When you believe a human being can be "illegal" it just keeps you apart from human experience:

We all need to put one of these in front of our doorstep. Amen to this.

You just can't fake that kind of response.

How I miss President Biden and wish people still respected leaders like that. Our country has sunk so low under DJT and his incompetent and uncaring regime.
