As we welcome a new regime across the pond many of us will be heartened by the early signs from the Whie House.
Today's images of a busy and determined Joe Biden swiftly undoing with a signature many of his predecessor's worst decisions, it is natural, though perhaps unwise to imagine that all is set to change.
From what I have read over recent months of Biden's history there can be little doubt of his integrity, however, the opposition he will face will be formidable and it is unlikely that swords will be laid down without further bloodshed.
Trump's supporters are not in general among the more rational of the USA's population, nor are they likely to respond to appeal to reasoned argument.
This, in addition to the terrible damage wreaked by Covid and the deeply divided opinions everywhere other than the North East means democracy is going to have a fight on its hands such as never seen before.
The rest of the world will no doubt be holding its breath as the next month or two unfolds.
Good luck Joe and may God go with you.
Very well said. You echo my thoughts from the other side of the world.
ReplyDeleteWell whatever he does Biden can't do as badly as his awful predecessor.
ReplyDeleteIm not on here much these days Ray . but it doesnt mean I have forgotten about your pithy and interesting posts.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I hear Aylesbury mentioned on the radio or TV I think of you and pray Blessings on you. I know Spring is on her way as the Filey Herring Gulls have started their raucous courting on our Cottage roofs here in the Old Town.
Hi Margaret. Good to hear from you. I too read other blogs but in my case seem to have problems making comments.
ReplyDeleteMy IT skills are nearly non-existent but if I want to reply to a comment can only do so on this lap-top, If I use my IPad my often quite lengthy comments are gobbled up by the Google monster and never appear in print.
This is my 2nd attempt tp reply.
There seems little to blog about in my shrunken universe
but hopefully we will see some return to normality.
Meanwhile stay safe and keep blogging.
Blessings to you and yours.
