Lawrence O"Donnell is the last remaining credible news source left. So grateful for his presence. Although I'd prefer to watch him independently of MSNBC - the mainstream media should feel ashamed for how they berated him relentlessly. I support Kamala fully. But in spite of his age, he would have won in November. No doubt.

Lawrence always brings wisdom to a situation. Thanks President Biden! 🥇

The way the people who work with President Biden talk about him🥰. It Is not something I have ever heard any staff talk about a previous president. Even the good ones.

Selfishly I say Thank God, Joe did not become President when first he ran. We so needed him now. I have respected and admired other Presidents but, I never loved them like I do this man.

President Biden who is not obsessed with occupying power and position, has noble sentiments, assesses the situation, is full of wisdom, serves the country and the people, and is a great chivalrous person!
Compared to Trump, who is bitter, selfish, and of low character, I can only say: completely different!

[markgerick]

Thank You, President Biden for your Knowledge & Wisdom to pass the Presidential "Baton"!
One of the most Patriotic and Selfless acts of ANY US President, except George Washington!!
We can now focus our attention on coming together to save OUR Democracy!!!

He's not gone yet. Hope he has some surprises up his sleeve.

Joe Biden showed us what a REAL president looks like repeatedly. We saw him overcome the intoxicating allure of power and put the country ahead of his own interests.
Karine Jean-Pierre, likewise, has served us with skill, humility, honesty, dedication and an appreciation of the White House not seen during 4 years of MAGA food fights.
The job itself is not easy, but it was even tougher to follow a superstar like Jen Psaki.

Joe Biden will go down in history as a man of honor. He is one of the best Presidents in my lifetime. He has.dedicated 50 years of his life to our country. It is an honor to call him president
