Hope. To heal, repair and move forward. To a Nation that is weary of the clenched fist, the hard hearts and hateful spews, it's a message to inspire our better angels.

As to the twitter feed? Twitter is always brutal. Have you read any of the commentary on GOT? They're ready to string up the writers of the show.

Joe Biden will not be deterred. Count on it.

The great weakness of the Obama Administration was, in the face of evil, to give the GOP the benefit of the doubt.

Democrats are not seeking more hatred, they are looking for Steel.

...the Republicans are going to have an “epiphany” and all of the sudden do a 180 from what they have been for the past several decades. At least, that’s what Biden believes...

Pretending people were not explicitly left out may be appealing to believers. But it sounds like a lie to many people.
