    We can have different political views, but we have one view. The one view is we’re the finest, the greatest nation in the world. We should focus on that. And we should focus on dealing with our problems and coming together … and stop the rancor. We have to bring the nation together.

    I don’t think any amount of togetherness is going to stop Palestinians from being slaughtered. And “greatest nation in the world”? Come on…

    Aside from the main topic…

    President Joe Biden made a call for unity while he and first lady Jill Biden spoke to NBC’s Al Roker by phone during the parade.

    That’s a weird thing to do, right? Calling the president who is in another city during your parade? That seems weird.

      Agreed, super weird.

      Who else was a phone in guest at… the Macy’s Day Parade?..

        Beyonce was trying to advertise her movie. She didn’t even perform. So the commercial was like a phoned in performance. Cher performed and she’s twice her age.
