The two best things Biden did to date

[malaise]

Wear the mask and call him a fool publicly.

1. that mask!

i havent been afraid for myself in this.
this little eden i sit on here has been bringing people to it in a way i can only describe as surreal. it's just safe here and i know it. i am used to the kids in the hood dragging their folks over to my gate to talk to my chickens. but any more, i hardly look out there and dont see them.
so i see they know it.
magic little ones, too.

but i saw that picture!!!
my first thought was- he's comin for you, hitler.

and everyone knows the power in calling things by their true names.

i know the line to piss on that fuckers grave will be long, but hell. i'm an old lady w not much else to do.
i will be in that line somehow.

2. also friend,

who said that quote in your sigline?
they deserve to have their name attached to that.

4. I stole it from dixiegrrrl back in 2016 - I must find her link

[mopinko]

6. well, her name will do.

3. And his answer about whether wearing a mask made him look weak.

He said no, it’s example of leadership. So true. I can’t wait for November, though the protests we’ve seen to date by Trump supporters may only be a small part of what we’ll see when he loses the election. He’s already setting them up to believe that the election will be rigged against him, and he’ll use tweets to encourage his gun-toting supporters to go on a rampage to overturn the election. I hope Democratic governors are planning for a huge level of violence by calling up the National Guard in advance and holding some training sessions about how to respond. With Barr in charge, the federal government will do nothing.

5. Biden looked

Like a adult.

7. He's Trolling Trump

Wearing a mask the right thing to do, especially if it irritates your political opponent. He should show pictures of he and Dr. Jill doing things Trump is to fearful to do— with their masks on.

Make Trump’s reaction the topic of the conversation—that’s graduate-level branding—and troll away. It’s free advertising for Biden, and the antidote to all the free coverage Trump gets.

Trump taking the bait every time is just so satisfying.

10. And we haven't seen anything yet

I'm waiting for malarky on steroids

21. Ad Wizards

The most creative people in the world—American movie and TV workers—have been idle since March 13. And getting annoyed at being unemployed, so they’re turning their talents to helping Biden. I’m hearing July 15th for production restarts.

Trump has slammed us for years so don’t expect any mercy from “creative types” in the media.

They are so good, they can even rebrand “malarkey”.

[Evolve Dammit]

8. Agreed.

9. called him president Tweety

Joe's more polite, publicly, than a lot of us here.

[malaise]

11. Doesn't work for me because that was

what we called Chris Matthews for years and Tweety Bird the cartoon character is likable.

[Wednesdays]

12. "Twitler" is often used to refer to Rump here

and I like that one.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. Yeah, but Joe was ridiculing him

He's the Grotesque Orange Pustule, to me, or Donnie Shitferbrains or any of a number of vulgar, disgust-laden nicknames seen on DU.

For Joe to refer to him as something diminutive and cartoonish has to rankle the mad narcissist.

14. I wonder how all the men on the medical front lines feel about being called 'weak'.

You know, doctors, nurses, technicians, paramedic/firefighters, EMTs. physician assistants and so many more.

You, gentlemen, save and protect lives.

Don't let the truly weak cowards get you down. They aren't worth a moment of your time.

[malaise]

15. You nailed it

The worst part for me is that it is his agencies telling people to follow these guidelines. There are no words for this insane monster.

[sarge43]

16. Thank you, malaise

Your praise is an honor

"insane monster" sums this time of madness perfectly

Stay safe, virtual

[malaise]

17. Back at you Sarge43

[sheshe2]

19. Not weak.

They are our front line.

[H2O Man]

18. Recommended.

Looking back, I still like his comment about taking the fat pile of shit out behind the gym.

20. This week, perhaps, but the week isn't over
