As Aesop and Aristophenes told it, better a King Log than a King Stork.

To have Grown-Ups in charge…

Remember Aesop’s fable of The Frog King.
Better King Log than King Stork.

There really is a great deal to be said for the ‘mood music’ from the top: for example, the calmer. more methodical approach to dealing with the pandemic actually encourages ordinary folk to be more sensible in how they go about their daily lives. We are probably more influenced than we realize by they way our leaders conduct themselves; their example matters, even if we know that no leader is perfect.

Yes, and it helps also that Biden is very experienced, as are many of his appointees.

Agreed. It is nice to have an adult as a POTUS for a change. Same with his Cabinet picks. Competent, experienced, not flashy, but quiet and unexciting. And never having to see a Twitter Toddler Tantrum like Trump had during his many Twitter meltdowns is a nice bonus too.

I am one of those principled conservatives like those Never Trumpers from the Dispatch and elsewhere who were exiled into the Wilderness after the Orange Dear Leader got the nomination in 2016.

I understand how you feel! Actually, I’m more impressed by Biden than I was expecting to be. He is not saying too much (and what he does say is pithy and to the point) while apparently working very hard.

I will settle for a plain boring POTUS any day over the 70 year old toddler we had for the past 4 years. Boring, competent, and uneventful.

And, in any case, BK is being allowed to post comments here. His problem is that he expects us to agree with him! And when we don’t, he cries like a big orange baby who’s just lost an election.

Isn’t it just such a relief to have someone who just gets on with the job? And, given the President’s +17 net approval rating (a rating way out of reach of anything that Trump ever managed), it appears that a substantial majority of Americans share that sense of relief.
