Lol

Let's see if I can guess the points of view here and what we can see over the next 4 years. 

Covid relief: Blows the debt and not worth it.

Covid in general: Government overreach. 

Immigration policy: Amnesty.

Foreign policy: weak and caving to Iran and China. Turning back on Israel. 

Domestic issues: follows the progressive point of view too much.

Unity message: bullshit and nothing he can say will change that.

Come now, Ptown. You shouldn't be exhibiting all of this negativity already.

Give Biden a chance to work his magic!

Neutral ptown is already getting the apologist train going and it's not even day 1.  LOL.  

If we are throwing out predictions for the next 4 years, is it even fair to predict Ptown will bend backwards to defend Biden no matter what? I am just basing this off past history on this site.  I will be entertained by seeing ptown turn a blind eye to neocon Joe bombing the middle east (and probably Africa) and yes, most likely caving to Iran for absolutely no reason. 

Interesting comment I heard that since Biden is basically an empty suit influence peddler (also old and out of it).  Susan Rice is likely head of policy and is in charge of what we are getting.

I here he is cancelling out 15 Trump policies with executtive orders on day 1.  Most presidents only do 1 or 2.

Wall building stopped, joining the Paris accord, Iran deal back on, Keystone pipeline stopped are a few.

Nah. I just know this site. Anything a democratic says or does is socialist, evil, and wrong.

Hey, at least I don't just throw up my hands and say they all suck and there is absolutely nothing they can do that is any good like you usually say. You are a cynical ball of negativity that brings absolutely nothing to the conversation except your normal complaining.

Of course I am going to be labled the Biden fan on here because, unlike a majority of the posters on here, and especially you, I have an open mind.

In the context of our nation's history, and world history, that statement is closer to reality than not. 

To think we are even having to discuss the suppression of free speech in this country is beyond belief.  It is a reflection of the pathetic public education system and the Marxists running rampant on university campuses.

My mind is closed to anything they do that doesn't protect my person or my property.

This is what it seems is touted every new inauguration. It doesn't matter which side. Yet, every four years they spew as much filth as they can at each other. It never changes. Probably never will.

I will not be unifying with anything this administration is going to do.

I will not be open minded with to higher taxes, open borders and terrible foreign policy

So far so good on predictions...

Open the flood gates, the tears are flowing today. 

Just like the last 35+ years, my life will pretty much not change. My kids too. It's not like any of these politicians really get anything done.

My wife brought it up last night, people saying that a female VP brings so much to females is absurd. She's never once felt slighted by being a female. She's doing her Masters in Education right now and one course is about discrimination (sexism/racism specifically), and she's not understanding why she has to go through that. She's been in three schools in three different states since 2012. The top two administrators at her schools (principal and vice principal) have all been females.

She's seen more discrimination in my life (white male) than she's seen in her life.

I have yet to see tears (as we did for the last four years); I do see concern among tens of millions of Americans that their God-given rights are being infringed upon by government, which is tyranny, and the only barriers standing in the way - the Constitution and the Bill of Rights - are being assaulted by the radical left on a daily basis.

Other than that, everything is so cool.

Yep, tears.

And tears from the past 4 years, the 8 before that...expect them to continue indefinitely.

Solid speech for someone with dimentia.

I'm glad your wife hasn't dealt with sexism or discrimination. That's not the case for millions of other women. And I'm lol-ing a bit at discrimination in white male lives. 

I'm incredibly glad I just saw the first female VP sworn in.

Glad you laugh at discrimination. I'd never imagine doing that to my wife or another female. But, you've shown you have your issues with me and that's fun. Anything more I can do to keep you coming back?

Hey that’s ridiculous.  I haven’t been here long but don’t clump me in with that.  

I am not a liberal by any means,  I could care less about either sides causes outside of the money issues.

Sources! Weird that they’d want to set the bar extremely low to have no responsibility going forward. 

NEW: Joe Biden and his advisers are inheriting no #coronavirus vaccine distribution plan to speak of from the Trump administration, sources tell CNN.

"There is nothing for us to rework. We are going to have to build everything from scratch," one source said.

Statement 1 is simply silly. If she truly does not understand the value of such a course to administrators/leadership, the course instructor is either not doing a very good job or she's not paying much attention.

I'd love to hear examples for Statement 2, but I'd wager that compelling examples of prejudicial treatment against you on the basis of sex or race do not exist.

I will never take a new article serious if "sources" are telling me. Its complete BS.  Same source about Russia?

So the President, who totally doesn't have dementia, accidentally takes a question today...dodges and simply says "c'mon man, give me a break".

Incidentally, the question was "do you want to set the bar higher than 100M vaccines in 100 days since we are already there?"  And Biden claimed "you all said we couldn't do it".  No, no one said that.

Same as the old boss. Just less vulgar.
