Biden signs bill to award Congressional Medal to US Capitol Police--now this is a real President

[crimycarny]

Today President Biden signed a bill to award Congressional Gold Medals to the US Capitol Police. Below is a live stream of the whole event but what really touched my heart was the way President Biden interacted with the families, especially the children afterward. That happens around the 17:00 mark. Made me tear up seeing a real human President with empathy. What this country truly needs.

1. US Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police and the other departments who responded.

Some as far away as New Jersey.

It is so good to have a President who is able to show compassion for those who have undergone trauma.

He is a good man, and the right man for these troubled times.

4. I think all the Capitol Police who were there on January 6th should receive medals...

it was not a PICNIC.

5. Q: Isn't this why we gave the Biden-Harris ticket 81 million votes?

A: You betcha!

6. It's funny how things work out---I didn't want Biden to run initially

In the very beginning, I was torn between Warren and Buttigieg. I've always loved Joe Biden, but I felt he was too "old school" (not to be confused with old age) and the Democratic party needed to be nudged a bit more in a progressive direction. Then COVID came along. I can't think of a more perfect fit than Joe Biden to address what our Nation is going through. A man who has gone through incredible pain and persevered. So grateful he is our President.
