I was so exhausted yesterday evening, physically and emotionally, that I fell asleep at 7 pm! So missed the President's joint address. Gonna watch it now. He always makes me feel better.
"Covid deaths are down 80% since January. 80%! Because of all of YOU!"
It's so refreshing to see a president give the credit to the people instead of going me me me me me!

This speech feels so soothing. Like how FDR's fireside chats must have felt during the great depression.
Damn these boomers age well! Joe is very fit for 78. Pelosi is 81! Even Trump, I most grudgingly admit, is not bad for a 75 year old who eats garbage and doesn't exercise.
Is it just me or does her birth name Nancy D'Alesandro sound more appropriately hefty for her badass cowboy personality? She's sat behind 4 presidents! 4! And impeached one twice. So many PhDs will be done on her legislative career!
One day I will do a Spaces on the real Wonder Woman - @SpeakerPelosi
She usually shuns the spotlight so people don't know her life story and career and how, if you look at her resume, she is THE most amazing congress member ever. Baltimore hard-nosed Bay Area nice.

I know there are detractors of hers on the left who want a new leadership and I respect that. I don't agree with everything in her career. But just objectively speaking, assessing her life, she should be celebrated much more imho. She's been there everywhere!
Pelosi has been a key player in
- 9/11 recovery
- Ending the iraq war
- Recovering from the great recession
- Donald Trump presidency (yuge disaster)
- Covid recovery
Other than Angela Merkel, has any leader in the 21st century been this impactful?

We don't see it now but fast and furious second impeachment most likely saved America from civil strife. It tied up trump and the Republicans in its defense so the January 6th didn't lead to anything more dire. Because they were prepared! Trump's disappearance stymied them.
Of course he didn't get convicted and he was never going to be. But it was a sublime play by Pelosi. Not only for the sake of history and democracy, but even tactically. Helped Biden settle in without any spotlight on him.
There should be a Queen type Netflix or HBO show called "Nancy". Her life and career is intricately linked with so much in modern US history. 
A few years ago, reddit right wing types tried to spread the rumor that she had an affair with JFK. Which was an epic fail because there's no evidence of that at all. But even if it were true, you think hooking up with JFK is something to be ashamed of? 🤣🤣
