I'm going to tell my grandkids that I saw Michael Jordan play at the United Center, I saw Pearl Jam open for Neil Young, and I saw Joe Biden save a nation with a 50-50 Senate.

3x seeing it done better than it's ever been done before. Thank you, Joe.

Here in Boston, we just got rid of transit cards completely. All rides on MBTA trains or buses are paid with credit cards at the same rate as the old Charlie Card.

Well, clearly you didn't listen to him when he told you to make damn sure Kamala Harris got elected.

Why do you want to hear from him now?

"Rockin' in The Free World" by Pearl Jam (originally by Neil Young)

I have a really great bootleg of it on cassette tape, but I no longer own a cassette tape deck to play it on!

You deserve good things in your life, and we all need to be taking care of ourselves and each other. (Jerry Springer was right about that!)

I was at the 2016 DNC in Philly, and I watched Bernie supporters damn near start a riot while he watched from the upper balcony with a grin on his face.

He's trash, and his supporters are worse.

Misogyny, Comey's sexist, partisan sabotage, and Sanders' sexist sabotage made Clinton lose. Misogynoir made Harris lose.

It's not the DNC that makes white people sexist and racist. White people are already sexist and racist.

Finally, every dime of that bailout money has been paid back.

Tax payers have made $109B on the deal. That's like a 14% return. We should do more bailouts with a return like that.

ProPublica is still tracking where every dollar of taxpayer money from the 2008 bailout of the financial system has gone. See for yourself.

Second, because of special elections, appointments, and Arlen Spector literally switching parties, Obama had a supermajority for 73 days.

And he used it to pass the most important healthcare legislation in 2 generations, adding coverage for 30 million Americans.

Stop. Just stop with this revisionist horse shit.

First, BUSH BAILED OUT THE BANKS. The TARP Bill was passed in Sept 2008 and signed into law by Bush. HBO made a whole ass movie about it. Obama used the bill to save the auto industry and hundreds of thousands of union jobs.

Honestly, my feelings about the entire Democratic Party changed, and maybe Karine Jean-Pierre has it right. Is it time to leave?

Everything I thought I knew about Obama, Biden, Pelosi, half of Congress, and most of my favs was wrong.

The only people I was right about are Hillary and Kamala.

FWIW, I listened to the audiobook on Spotify, and when the MVP talks about Biden, even when she's critical, there's still real warmth in her voice.

I've followed her long enough to know that she has no poker face when she despises someone (i.e. Tulsi), but I don't hear that in her voice about Joe.
