There's a plan. He knows what it is. And can explain it well.

"We're here to solve problems" (Been there, learned that--Windows--problems? ) Working with W.H.O. Highly recommend spending the time to listen. Ignore the Trump clown side show for a while and listen to what's really going on. Extremely reassuring about the "fear of the unknown" thing. I haven't seen Dr. Sanjay Gupta smile so much in a real long time!

Joe Biden: My Plan to Safely Reopen America

An effective strategy to beat the virus is the ultimate answer to how we get our economy back on track

AOC's self-defeating side

By artappraiser on Sat, 04/11/2020 - 4:00am |

I do not think it is a good or helpful thing when AOC gloats sassy like this, it is the Bernie bro side of her, a major flaw.
