Talk about "fitness for office," we have the most unfit President in our history occupying an office he should never have been near. Despite his health, we celebrate Biden's 50 years of contributing to the health of America.

A person as visible as 'the president' whose prime source of motivation and whose passion for life is vengeance on others, is a model for others who want to be stuck in a negative way of living. On the prowl for more others who have wounded him, he seems to be capable only of tearing down and inflicting pain. It is a way of life that cannot survive - it is unnatural and unhealthy.

As for your exhibit, the article and your style, Liza, "Magnifique!" As for the "other" stuff about "t," as is often said in Charlie Brown's world, "B.L.E.C.H."

Congratulations Liza and Ann! Yes, Biden was perfectly fit to be President on his worst day of ill health, than the current president is on his

best day! What can be counted as Trump’s best day? A day he stays silent? Does he ever shut up about himself?

He never shuts up his lying.

A tiny article in the NYT about a couple in formal attire on the Q train made me think of you. The lady was trying, without success, to tie her companions bow tie. Fellow riders assisted her with the help of a YouTube video. My mind immediately conjured a Donnelly masterpiece.

Concats on the exhibit, the article, and the super photo. How great to be recognized for your talent, and isn't it grand to be blessed to do the work you love. As for the rest, only one word to describe these people: despicable. They have no heart and no soul. The good news for me, though, is I am happy to see the new Pope is pulling no punches and has their number.

Thanks, Kitty. The new Pope’s reaction to Vance is priceless. I love this Pope!! And I’m far from Catholic.

You don't have to be Catholic to love him. He's a Pope for all. Too bad Vance and the orange man are not politicians for all. Pet the cat for me.

I may have deleted the translator. Is it lurking somewhere so that I can read it in English?

Oh I am not sure- sometimes if you just click the link it will appear in English. Sorry….

It occurs to me that it is time for CBS NEWS to STAND UP TO THIS BULLY! I UNDERSTAND THAT BUSINESS CORPORATIONS WANT TO TAKE THE “EASIEST” WAY TO PROFIT AND PEACE, HOWEVER, WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO TAKE THE MORALLY CORRECT WAY?

TRUMP IS A BULLY AND I AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE PISSED THAT THESE COWARDS ARE LETTING THIS SLIMY PIECE OF SH*T KEEP LYING, BULLYING ETC. I WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH ETHICAL COMPANIES THAT DON’T ALLOW EVIL PEOPLE TO SHRED THE CONSTITUTION WITH IMPUNITY! WHEN I THINK ABOUT WHAT TRUMP, MUSK, VANCE, STEPHEN GREEN ARE DOING TO INNOCENT PEOPLE, THE MOST VULNERABLE OF US I GET FURIOUS! I AM A 79 YEAR OLD RETIRED BUSINESSWOMEN WHO WAS BROUGHT UP IN THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH! I HAVE TWO VERY SUCCESSFUL CHILDREN AND THREE GRANDCHILDREN THAT I LOVE VERY MUCH! I CARE ABOUT MORALITY AND JUSTICE, HOWEVER, IF I COULD MAGICALLY MAKE THAT LIST OF PEOPLE ( ACTUALLY COULD NAME A WHOLE BUNCH MORE) DISAPPEAR I WOULD DO IT WITH OUT ANY HESITATION! JUST TO BE CLEAR I AM NOT THREATENING TO TAKE ACTION MYSELF!!! BUT MY LIFE HAS BEEN ALTERED SO DRAMATICALLY THAT I MAY NEVER FIND MY WAY BACK TO A STATE OF PEACE!

ANOTHER COMMENT THAT I FAILED TO MAKE: WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE WAY THAT ZELENSKYY WAS TREATED ON CAMERA BY TRUMP, VANCE AND THAT SLIMY UNTALENTED, UNPROFESSIONAL “JOURNALIST “ WHO MADE THE INANE COMMENT ABOUT ZELENSKYY NOT WEARING A SUIT I WANTED TO SCREAM. THOSE WORTHLESS PIECES OF FLESH ARE NOT WORTHY ENOUGH TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM AS HE!! I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ON CAMERA A VIDEO OF TRUMP, VANCE, MUSK AND THAT “JOURNALIST “ ON THE FRONT LINE DODGING BULLETS, DRONES, FALLING DEBRIS, FOR JUST ONE DAY! VANCE WOULD BE CRYING, TRUMP WOULD BE HIDING AND RUNNING AWAY, MUSK WOULD NOT BE LAUGHING BECAUSE HIS WEAPON WOULD BE A CHAINSAW, AND THAT SLIME BALL JOURNALIST WOULD BE SOILING HIS UNDERWEAR UNDERNEATH THAT CRAPPY SUIT THAT HE WAS WEARING! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN BE SO BLIND TO THEIR OWN COWARDICE! I AM GOING TO QUIT NOW BUT MY FAVORITE PART OF THE MEETING WAS WHEN ZELENSKYY ASKED VANCE IF HE HAD EVER BEEN TO UKRAINE! THAT SAID IT ALL!

Thank you Liza. MAGA is distorting everything about the Biden presidency. But taRump is responsible for trashing our US and the world economy. The distorted elements of Robert Hur and the “transcript” are unreal compared to the taRump acts to move his classified documents from the FBI and his complete disregard for the rule of law.

And Vance is a low life dirty double dealing far right sympathizer and doing “his job” to trash Biden for president taRump. Nobody asked what he thinks about Biden and his comments are unwelcome, ungracious and disrespectful.

Loved the article about you and Ann. Two powerful women! It is hard to sleep at night, but my conscience is clear because everything I do every day is for the right reasons. Trump doesn't sleep at night because he is up posting and spewing vile insults. He has no empathy, no conscience, no sense of right and wrong, and he needs to be evaluated for dementia. They all need to leave Biden alone. I know so many who have had cancer - my mom - she died two years ago. What about that child with cancer who was deported? I've always felt that eventually, what goes around comes around. Do I wish Trump had cancer? No, but he is a cancer on our democracy, and it is spreading.

Tis a time of chaos and confusion. Bring steadfast and future focused is tough but that is what we are made of tenacity and truth.

If there was a way someone “had to be fit for office” Vance would be unemployed.
