49. Before Trump the media hammered on his so called gaffes relentlessly
Mon Feb 8, 2021, 03:45 PM
Feb 2021

It was nuts.

After Trump no one talks about his gaffes anymore. Suddenly we have a Presidential man as Head of State and having experienced the last four years we’ve learned not to take that for granted. The media seems to have learned their own lesson of what it’s like to be incessantly accused of being “fake”. At least I hope they have.

Biden hasn’t changed. He’s always been good though he sure disappointed over Anita Hill. But by the look of his Cabinet and his appointments it looks like he’s grown quite well. He gets it now. He has become better, inclusive, respectful and because of it he’s moved more towards being Progressive.

In my opinion if you truly believe ALL people are fundamentally equal then becoming progressive is automatic. It can’t be any other way.

I award this post my personal medal of honor for outstanding post of the day! nt DonaldsRump Feb 2021 #1
