2020 Presidential Election part 2

[Bubba]

This is exactly it and I nom'd this post.

Did you nominate it as how to understand MSM narratives reflect what the handful of medias owners want the audience to see.


Just one example, a study of sharing corporate board members:

Wow, that's truly horrible.

That old adage about not being able to choose your family never rang more true.

It is not a coincidence that I am the only one of my immediate family that does not live within 15 miles of where we grew up.

I should clarify that I don't think my mom deliberately committed "voter fraud," and it was just total cluelessness, but given their attitude, I don't care. And no one in the family tried to talk her out of it, and, in fact, encouraged her.

(given the circumstances, I was not going to rock the boat)

President Biden

Mr. President Biden

Joseph R. Biden, President of the United States of America

Mr. President

President Joe Biden, sir



(don't mind me I'm just practicing for the real thing in January)

How refreshing to be able to address a US president as "Mister President" again...
Amirite?




And let's not forget about Ms Vice President, Kamala Harris. Madam Vice President. How sweet does that sound? Ha!

"The last time Americans took the street across the country to celebrate something was when we killed Bin Laden. Think about that." - Seen on the intertubes.

Not quite, there was the introduction of Popeye's Chicken Sandwich. Now THAT was something to celebrate!

 

[Cain]

Airheads celebrating in the streets.

This country is still ****** (and, therefore, the world is ******). The honeymoon effect will subside when the reality of President Biden sets in.

Seriously, have a look at these:

Mask or no mask, you would not find me in a crowd like that given the Covid numbers.

At least so far the images of victory have been celebrations.

The USA now needs to do a lot to restore its international reputation as the leader of the free world and champion of democracy.

 

[Mike!]

You should be far more concerned about those four days you were dead.

MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead.

You gotta love the wisdom of Miracle Max!

I presume that a lot of the focus in India is on Harris being the first American of Indian descent to rise so high?

We can finally see some light approaching at the end of the tunnel.

I don't care if the GOP renders Biden a lame duck president, because right now all I care about is thoroughly enjoying this celebratory Crown Royal and gingerale.

I raise my glass to you, Biden voters! Thank you.

Sincerely,
The rest of the world.

The foot is off the accelerator at least - even if the direction of travel mightn't be brilliant if given the Senate.

Trump's statement.

The last bit:

"I will not rest until the American people have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands."

reminds me of O.J. Simpson vowing to find the real killer.

 

[Galaxie]

Trump will steal all the furniture when he leaves.

Trump probably threw out all the good stuff in 2017. Everything left is likely covered in spray tan and ketchup stains.

There are those, me included, who are happy that American Democracy still shows the resilience to elect their first woman VP who isn't white. We tend to see her as an American first and don't expect her to carry the "Indian" burden.

Then there are those who saddle her with it and claim some sort of kinship. Her grand father's village, mainly upper caste Brahmin, held temple prayers and devotions to ensure her success. Indians feed vicariously on someone else's success and find ways to appropriate it.
Then, of course we have the rightwing Hindutva brigade who consider her a race traitor.

 

[Trebuchet]

Trump probably threw out all the good stuff in 2016. Everything left is likely covered in spray tan and ketchup stains.

Gold leaf!

 

[acbytesla]

Would Das Boot count?

Das Boot definitely counts. Best submarine movie ever.

It'll take a lot of elbow grease to scrub the orange stain out of the White House.

Apparently some wag is parked outside the White House blasting Kool & The Gang.

If only someone was doing it outside his golf course...
