The unambiguous good news today is that Merck will partner with Johnson and Johnson to make their vaccine. This was brokered by the Biden Administration. It could double the output of the one-shot vaccine. This is exactly the sort of use of the Defense Production Act that Trump failed to leverage a year ago. If anyone thinks the assorted gang of hoodlums, fools and failsons surrounding Trump could have managed this, they are delusional.
Today, "conservatives" are freaking out about the Seuss family pulling some of his works, because they are - blatantly - racist. This is the bullshit that they care about, because it keeps their rubes in a state of frenzied agitation and willing to vote for people like Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz and Roy Moore. They do not care about actually governing, and we saw that in the "response" to the pandemic.
Biden hasn't been "perfect" because such a state of being is imperfect. The continued deference to Saudi Arabia rankles. He has been such an improvement, however, that it's inconceivable that there are tens of millions of people who would prefer Mango Mussolini.
