Biden unveils sweeping Coronavirus health and economic recovery plan

I missed normalcy, we won't have to be fearful of what that orange pustule tweets or does next. 5 more days!

I was stunned by the speech content. I had forgotten what a President sounds like.

I think Biden's first 100 day plan sounds excellent and achievable.

I'm not sure how the 100 days of masking wearing is going to go down with the deplorables. If anything will spark a revolution then it turns out wearing masks will!

I am excited and hopeful for the future.

Sleepy Joe stole that from me. The Chinese, they gave us the Chinese Plague, I stopped it by banning China's planes, hackened into your President Trump’s files! China Joe has plagered before, bigly. You know that, right?

Stole the election. I won every state, but you can't fight a crooked Electric College. Not even with the best lawyers like America's Mayor Rudy and Steve Winwood. My judges, I should call them my Judases, right? Didn't even let my lawyers talk! So they couldn't show all the fraud, dead people voted, dogs, it's true. Sounds crazy, I know. Philadelphia, Detroit, you know what I'm saying, corrupt, crooked. Lots of bad people.

But the bad people hate Trump, so Old Joe will take over next week. And Kamala the next week.

Just remember: The National Guard can't stay here forever. So stand back and stand by.

But the deficit!!’

I'm a wee bit surprised that this thread didn't get more comments considering how bleak things are with Covid and the economy.

I guess we aren't done talking about Trump?

I'm glad about his plan but EVERY time he speaks he has to drop some sob story about some, poor , pitiful "real" American in dire straits. "Can it, Joe," i want to scream at the TV.

People are still too afraid to hope because time has come to a motherfucking STOP, it seems. The next few days will be an eternity.

I'll repost this to the Coronavirus thread.

R6 I sort of agree. Just make like Cuomo and get to the charts and Powerpoints, Joe.

Can it, r6.

I was thinking yesterday: it feels like Joe Biden has the potential to go down as one of the truly great presidents in American history, along with Lincoln and FDR. Of course, this is in large part thanks to the horrific situation he's inheriting and the state of our country right now. It's also dependent on how everything unfolds over the next four years. And he probably won't be fully appreciated for 50+ years (assuming we're still these united states then).

Just a thought.

Americans are in terrible dire straights R6.

In the last week 965 thousand Americans filed for unemployment. Add that to the MILLIONS already on unemployment and M-O-O-N spells fucked.

A lot of people are on the verge of starvation and homelessness or already there.

What were you saying again R6?

People were saying on another thread that the trolls were gone thanks to Primetime, yet r6 is still here.

What gets me is that these people who always complain about Democrats will scream "They don't care about us!" until some Dem literally says he cares, then they say "Shut up, you're so corny!" Happens every time. I remember people doing this with Clinton 25 years ago.

I'm glad he is going big. Watch out for the newly proclaimed GoP deficit hawks

R10 We should all know that by now, so just cut to the chase and give us the details. I'm so thrilled that someone in authority has a PLAN, I want to hear it ASAP! No disrespect meant to Joe.

Me too R13 (that somebody is finally acknowledging the shitfest and has a plan for moving forward). I still can't believe that the current President just hasn't mentioned Coronavirus. Just ignored it completely.

If you watched the speech then Biden laid out all the details in it. Numbers, how much money is required for each issue and how much it will cost.

I was impressed to hear a fucking President speak with brutal honestly and hard facts after so long of living in the Twilight Zone. None of it's easy or cheap but it has to be done to save lives and the economy. America is in a world of trouble.

I remember in March being horrified at the thought of 150,000 deaths, which is what officials thought MIGHT happen. Here we are at 400,000 deaths. And all because an asshole told people they didn’t have to wear masks and everything would be fine.

But he forgot to mention how much has been allocated to our cronies!

Good point, R16.

Isn't it too bad that the people in Flint, Michigan, weren't thrilled when he visited their city to talk about football and how much his father liked cars made in Detroit, but just mentioned the water crisis that has destroyed their lives?

Oh, and by the way: the criminal who did all this, Rick Snyder... Endorsed Biden! Surprising, huh?

It must be an act of Russian interference mixed with seditious MAGAts, Muslim terrorists (except the ones working for ISIS and Saudi Arabia, and financed by the US government), Iranian nuclear programs, Northern Korean violations to human rights and Chinese viruses - because we all know that anyone who opposed US imperialism, is a monster.

Oh, and by the way: don't you dare to criticize Biden, because that is VIOLENCE!
