I liked it. I especially like that they let him ramble when he got passionate about a subject.

They just let him go and spin out these complex and interconnected ideas, and draw the whole landscape without having to rely on soundbites to get a complex idea across.

Biden clearly actually understands the interconnectedness of all these ideas and plans. I know he's a good dude and wants the best for America. I'm just not sure he has the balls to do what needs to be done to the people who have destroyed our institutions, reputation, and standing in the world.

We need him to announce Nuremberg/Reconciliation trials on Jan 21st.

I would looooooove to see mass trials occur ASAP, that, unfortunately seems like a fools dream. Agree on liking that Biden has connected the dots on global warming - though I do agree with cgod - anything shy of a total upheaval of how we live and work is just putting lipstick on a pig. Too bad nobody listened in the 70s/80s.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission that took place after the fall of Apartheid in South Africa is a model that I think America needs to seriously look at.

This was a way for both victims and perpetrators to share their stories and their humanity, so the country could come together and move forward into the future.

I will also mention that the South African national rugby team - the Springboks - also won the World Cup that year, bringing the country together in sport and pride, and under the new national flag. And the US national rugby team is finally in the Top 10 teams in the world, and our Rugby 7s team is the best in the world.

So... maybe there is some future there, as well! :-)
