Isn't it nice to have a President you can wave to MurrayDelph May 2024 #6
The single-fingered salute gets used a lot. ProudMNDemocrat May 2024 #7

I guess I’ll look up toward his church tonight to see if I see anything. He sometimes goes Saturday night.

I couldn't see, unfortunately. But this is the closest I've gotten all this time (since he's been President.... I've shaken his hand at local barbecues back in the day). I happen to be going south on 141 while he was heading north. Probably less than 10 ft separated us

I'm sure there are some staged protests against "Brandon". But the open hostility of the general populace to that Orange Pustulence (#45) is evident.

you can be sure someone in the motorcade saw you and he'll be told there was at least one friendly face.

There's a big-ass "Let's Go Brandon" painted on a shed that faces the road about 1/4 from where we were--in my super-Blue area--so I hope I could offset that a little. The other day there was a group of protesters outside the road that enters Joe's neighborhood protesting the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. I'm not sure if they were still there today, because I came a different way.

Back in the day, we would call it "the flying fickle finger of fate". Coined that from LAUGH-IN. Loved that show.

I'm always afraid they'll think I was giving "the finger" but we were close enough that they should have been able to see my whole hand and smiling face!
