An end in sight - two photos:

[yonder]

The first is a countdown timer at its place on the mantle, where for the last few years it has dutifully marked down the remaining days of the disaster-in-chief. The second is of yours truly sporting a tRump protest beard. It was started 4 years, 2 months and some days ago with a pledge to not shave until tRump is removed, one way or another.






Though taken last year and having undergone a few celebratory "indictment trims" (Flynn, Manafort, etc.), the beard has remained intact. Sometime after noon on Wednesday, both bum and beard shall be gone.

Thankfully, for both.

1. I love this...

[Butterflylady]

2. Please show before and after pics.

[calimary]

32. Yeah! I wanna see, too!

That's quite a beard there, must say.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

3. All I have is a wimpy goatee

But it's there for a different reason.
Wish I could grow such a luxurious chin mane like yours.

Anyway please post a pic of your face after Biden is sworn in..😺

[MyOwnPeace]

4. What dedication - what conviction - what principles!!!!

WAY TO GO!!!!!

I can't imagine the number of people around you (yourself included) that are SO relieved that he lost!


(I say that in a VERY RELIEVED way - the idea of him EVER serving 1 more day is NO laughing matter...
)

7. I was certain he would be gone in 4 to 6 months - thinking even he would discover his unfitness.

But as we've learned, unbridled, narcissistic megalomania is a relentless taskmaster.

[MyOwnPeace]

9. Gotta' tell 'ya!

I have not laughed THAT HARD in a whole long time!

I can see you standing there in front of the TV or mirror, daily, and saying, "W-T-F have I done?!"

Gillette owes you for your endurance!

[yonder]

15. Now you're making me laugh too. It's been tough but the novelty has been fun too.

I've heard countless St. Nick/Santa Claus jokes. Strangers have come up and asked about it. When they hear the story, it's about 50/50 approval/disapproval. Most of my extended family are trumpers - that's been fun.

[wnylib]

25. Isn't it hard to keep clean?

Especially after eating?

With some homemade trousers and a wide brimmed straw hat, you could pass for Amish.

[yonder]

28. Soup can be a problem

I've painted a few napkins with the resulting paintbrush.

[wnylib]

31. LOL. I imagine tomato sauce would

enhance the paintings with some bright color.

[The Roux Comes First]

41. I Bet Gillette Would Argue You Have That Backasswards! (nfm)

[dweller]

5. Good job yonder !

Mine’s not as full, but is as long

Can’t post pics 😕

✌🏻

[yonder]

8. One advantage, not so much this last year, is I can walk into a place full of trumpers

and they think I'm one of them - till I open my mouth.

[MyOwnPeace]

10. STOP IT!!!!

You're killing me!!!!

Every post has me laughing louder!!!

[ret5hd]

6. Maybe you could weave a scarf out of that thing!!!

Your necks gonna feel pretty cool, you know!

[yonder]

12. I'm looking forward to it. I'm tired of eating it or zipping it up in my jacket.

But I'm really, really glad the reason for it in the first place will gone.

[ret5hd]

14. You look good with it...

We really need an after pic!

[babylonsister]

11. At first I thought you were Dave Letterman!

[SeattleVet]

13. I see that you also do what I do...

every morning when I shave, I stand far away from the razor!

[Karadeniz]

16. That was a super idea! Can't wait for the after photo!

[Roy Rolling]

17. Love the Commitment!

But please, shave the beard. My wife was saying over the weekend how Trump insurrectionists all look like bearded mountain men. 😁

[yonder]

35. I occasionally target shoot or plink cans.

When looking for ammo that I don't reload, I can go to any gun store and no one bats an eye. Where I live, there are some places where that's a real advantage.

I'll miss that aspect.

[Nitram]

18. Excellent beard, my man! And grown in a good cause.

[Mr.Bill]

19. Now we know what Santa Claus does in the off-season.

[japple]

20. A salutation to your facial hair!

Hair lyrics

She asks me why
I'm just a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and night
Hell that's a fright
I'm hairy high and low
Don't ask me why
Don't know
It's not for lack of bread
Like the Grateful Dead
Darling

Gimme a face with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen

Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

Let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for bees
A nest for birds
There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my...

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!

Oh say can you see
My eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short

Down to here
Down to there
I want hair
Down to where
It stops by itself

They'll be ga ga at the go go
When they see me in my toga
My toga made of blond
Brilliantined
Biblical hair

My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah I adore it
Hallelujah Mary loved her son
Why don't my mother love me?

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair

22. Great song.

[machoneman]

21. "Gimme a head with hair, long beautiful hair.....: What a great song!

[sellitman]

23. Great story

I'll be looking for the after.

[SergeStorms]

24. The beard.

I've had a beard since 1968. I keep it neatly trimmed, but my face hasn't seen the light of day since 1968. I hate to see a good beard completely thrown away. Why don't you just trim it so you look scholarly instead of like a Duck Dynasty dude?

[yonder]

29. To be sure, it won't all come off.

At least a close goater will take it's place.

[SergeStorms]

37. There you go.

We have whiskers on our faces for a reason. I have no idea what that reason is, but I'd be lost without mine, and no one would know who I was.

[BobTheSubgenius]

26. Good on you, yonder!

That is a LOT of commitment, and easily eclipses the Playoff Beard tradition.

[deurbano]

27. I gave that countdown clock to my daughter for Christmas! She says watching the countdown is very

calming. (Especially now!) She was a Biden delegate for the convention.

Happy shaving! Happy 1/20/2021 to us all!

[yonder]

33. Someone else on DU mentioned they got the timer

for Christmas a couple of years ago.

[Old Terp]

30. Maybe save the hair.

People do save long hair to be used to make wigs. Your chin could create a wonderful Santa beard or other appropriate person's beard. If you are feeling more organic, hang it loosely from a tree and birds can use it in their nests. It's a thing of beauty.

[yonder]

34. I'm trying to think of something - all ears here.

There's a tRump doll attached to the lawn mower. I might try to fashion a beard for it.

[calimary]

36. Yes! For chemotherapy patients! They often lose their hair in treatment, and need wigs.

[yellowdogintexas]

38. I have a friend here who did this. He did not cut his hair or shave

I presume he won't shave until tomorrow I will have to check

[yonder]

39. I remember talking to someone here about the same thing some 3 years ago, maybe longer.

Same dude I suspect. Noteworthy because he involved head hair too. Now that's commitment!

[FreepFryer]

40. Omg Brazilians should boycott butt waxes in protest...

Public sentiment would depose bolsonaro in days

Great post.

[peacebuzzard]

42. beauty and the beach means too much in Brazil

the wax salons are always popular and on every corner, kind of like NY. But I don't think the butt wax is quite that popular in NY
Bozo in Brazil is on a fast track of losing popularity at the moment, and going for a wax is like going out for coffee, its very affordable.
