    I’m mostly with you on this one, but you have to admit, “an animate bowl of tapioca” has got to be one of the funniest ways I have heard of President Biden described as. But yeah, I think he does care and is trying pretty hard to effect some level of significant change. I feel like he’s trying to softly get the ball rolling for a second term where he really shows what he’s made of.

    I hope for and look forward to great change and progress in the coming years.

      I’d think it was funny if it didn’t read like another desperate attempt to stifle enthusiasm for progress and make the fascist guy seem more appealing, and why again? Because the president isn’t embroiled in daily antics? Dear heavens, not a boring President, quietly doing his job instead of tweeting scandalous things. Another boring, incremental legislative step in the right direction. The gears of democracy turning, yawn.

      Why can’t milquetoast Biden be more exciting like the fascist guy? Why does the bureaucracy of running a country have to be comparable to tapioca instead of something flashier, with big banners and snazzy outfits and catchy slogans.
