Thanks. Am sending this out to all my usual suspects.

History will be kind to Joe because he earned it. Period.

When we win this election, all of those Get-Outers, and all the rest of us, we owe this guy a big Fn Thank You party.

Barry, maybe after all the hoopla (let us pray) quiets down, you two might have time for a proper visit. You can trade stories about your boys, and I'm sure he'd love some Jack stories..

I'm guessing he's likely to have more free time in awhile.

So beautifully moving. Two menches grieving over dead children. Joe is a good man and possibly a great president. He is a man for this time. Love you, Joe and Barry. 💕

Just as moving as the first time I read it. Thanks for reminding us, if such reminders were necessary, what a great man Joe is.

(You ain't too shabby either, Ba.)
