Kamala : "One question for you though.... 'George'??? "
Joe : " Aww c'mon ... what the BFD? "

@stargazer ?? I sort of went the "comic" route for these so you didn't think I was mistakenly posting the same image every day while that ball drops. Releasing a panel a day. I like yours better than the punchline to this one.
One question - we have 85 days until Inauguration. Will I need to prepare new images for a new countdown for that? ??
Too bad the GOP in the senate didn't get the memo:
Conservative New Hampshire paper backs Biden -- its first Democratic endorsement in 100 years
The New Hampshire Union Leader, a conservative-leaning newspaper, has endorsed Democratic candidate Joe Biden for president, despite its century-long history of backing Republicans. In backing Biden, the newspaper endorsed its first Democratic candidate in over 100 years.
@dannyboy So grateful that you found our community and uplifted us all with your art and your limericks. I hope @UnkP is also reading and enjoying your work, which continues his uplifting tradition. Also grateful that you taught me how to post photos here.
Feeling lighter each day. I finally let myself watch clips from the Thursday debate and was impressed at the shift in each man when the rules of debate were enforced, creating a level playing field. It may have taken four years, but the media is learning how to create the conditions for truth.
Trump, without his weaponry, was clearly disarmed, weaker, defensive, nervous, whiney. I could see him falling. Biden was confident, grounded, smiling, and his light shown through. I could see him rising.
I pondered how these two men in their seventies ended up on such different paths, one rising, the other falling.
One person has spent his life hiding from himself, by projecting his failures onto others. Having never learned to own his failures, his child self couldn't grow, and there is no self inside him except the little child. He never grew up.
So when he is challenged and can't use his usual tactics of striking out at others, he has no self to fall back on, just that little child. So he just whines. I was struck at how young he seemed. I've never seen a bully so disarmed before.
The other person has spent his life listening and even giving way to others, sometimes to his detriment, but then owning his mistakes, accepting and living with his losses, always caring for others, and enduring through it all. He has allowed his Self to learn, grow, strengthen, and, remaining humble, he likes himself.
@jeanne-mayell Yes it’s such a relief. I also have been feeling, all weekend and it’s growing more palpable, many people’s exhaustion w him. Even his most loyal followers who never stop to censor their inflammatory words (people from my hometown I’m referencing) are quiet. I’m not sure that they’re convinced completely that he shouldn’t be re-elected, but they don’t have it in them to keep shouting. They’re exhausted by him, too. And, I feel/sense, finally!, their real fear of getting Covid/sick.
Is anyone else getting this sense also?
Perhaps for the post- November 3rd event you could just display a really big smile....?
Our friend @Unkp might be interested in coming back and collaborating with you to make it double trouble ??
Thank you for your good energy!
It's infectious...
@stargazer Perhaps -- but I've had the November 3rd graphic done since I made the first one on day 95 :-) It's a "postcard" it would be a shame not to send. ????
Presented without comment today. May have to change the punchline tomorrow after the events of last night.
There's so, so many things Joe. So many things. *Gestures Emphatically at everything*
Symbolism, indeed! Two bald eagles were flying overhead as Joe Biden campaigned in Iowa today ?
From the article you posted:
Last September, also in Iowa, an alleged bald eagle flew over a Biden event that prompted the candidate to talk about his late son, Beau. He said he hadn't seen a bald eagle since Beau died in 2015, according to New York Magazine. He reportedly said of the bird, "Maybe that's my Beau."
So sweet. Joe would fit in well here in this community wouldn’t he?
This morning an interesting vid popped up on my YT feed and want to share it ....
'Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee' ~ (Season 7/Episode 1)
From (blacktreetv) ~
"Just Tell Him You're The President "
President Obama and Jerry Seinfeld shoot the breeze in Jerry's classic '63 Stingray....
A poignant reminder of what sanity and decency really look like, and will be again in our Democracy ...
This actually brought me to tears, it's such a contrast to the last four long years of our descent into Hades via the MFin' Trump regime.
You guys! Look how close the ball is to the bottom!
Love the ball drop idea @dannyboy it's perfect!!
I don't know if I've ever been so anxious for a day to come and go!! I'm thankful I signed up to be a pollworker, it'll keep me busy and away from the news that day (or so I hope!). The lines here in eastern NC for early voting have been steady and busy, I'm so so hopeful we turn the state blue!
