9. Hehe yup good one from Sec. PETE

[central scrutinizer]

2. Nice start, good snark

But we need an infrastructure decade at least. Those fucking tax cuts were off set by “deferred maintenance”.

3. Nice - let's make the 2020s and 2030s the Decades of Infrastucture

under President Biden from 2021 to 2029 and then President Harris from 2029 to 2037

4. I watched him earlier on the News Hour. He is incredibly...

well-spoken, smart, thoughtful, calm. So refreshing after the horrors of the previous administration.

7. His sparkling intelligence is a trademark

I recall seeing on MSNBC shortly after he threw his hat in the Presidential Primary ring. It may have been Morning Joe. Host and cohosts were firing questions at this whippersnapper about the economy, about foreign policy, about infrastructure, about equal rights, about everything but the Norwegian literary scene.

Pete responded calmly and knowledgeably to each question, in a level manner as a man in control of the interrogation (which is what it seemed like). I knew then that this man would make an excellent President. I still think he will if the country can get through the next 8 years of Fascist gnawing on our Constitution and rights as citizens.

5. But FORMER guy says it's a cruel attack on murica!

It's cruel to tax the rich! It's cruel to take ill gotten gains from their families! It's cruel to send them to jail!!!!

Oh, the humanity! Or is it the hannity?

8. Hannity has more humanity than Rachel Maddow ever will!

April Fools ...

10. got me...

I was angered to the point of almost hitting the report button.

I had completely forgotten what day this is....

[calimary]

11. Still, it IS taking a risk posting something like that.

Even on April Fool’s Day.

14. I've always like Pete B a LOT.

Even though I knew he wouldn't win the nomination, I supported him, and switched to "The Current Guy" when Pete dropped out.

I was SO impressed that he would go to the trouble of learning a language that isn't that widespread in order to read the worh of a novelist he liked! Norway has a population of approximately that of Minnesota, so Norwegian is not that common, even in Scandanavia.
