Gratuitous Thank you Joe Biden thread [View all]

He retired. He spent his days teaching, playing with the dogs, hugging his grandkids. He was perfectly happy.

Then it got that kind of bad under the TFG. Something had to be done. Joe agreed to serve his country.... to leave the comfort of retirement and step back into the arena. I am retired and about his age. I can tell you I do not have the stamina to keep a full time job let alone one with such demands as he has. The sacrifice he is making is very real.

He built an admin with our best and brightest. He's gone out of his way to push everyone up. He isn't even reaching back ... he's behind them ... putting them out front ... building for the future. For individuals and for the country as a whole.... even for the planet.

It is tempting to want more ... now. America has been neglected for so long that the needs are so great. We have a moment in time and it is hard to live with only getting a small piece of what is really needed. It is tempting to want more ... to be disappointed.

Joe Biden's deepest joy is in seeing others succeed. It is in his DNA. You can see it in his family, his relationships. Hopping a train every morning and night for decades to go sleep at home.... he didn't go through that for him. You can see it every day in how he treats the people around him.

Everything he does is with the goal of pushing people up ... pushing America up ... roads, bridges, internet, electricity, medicine, education, housing ... people and our basic physical needs. I don't know how much he'll be able to do, but I have faith he'll push absolutely full on for as much as he can get for all of us.

Thank you Joe Biden. Thank you for being willing to sacrifice for America.... for me.
