Thanks Joe!
I can't even imagine the horror show we'd be in if trump had been re-elected

I am so very thankful for that. More than you can ever know.

That is a great photo on so many levels, when you think about it. It's not just that they're doing something philanthropic and volunteering on a holiday, but you notice the fact that they're all masked, that Joe is getting help from the gentleman to his left, that Doug is just working away, that Jill and Kamala are so very obviously cordial and collegial with one another, and MOST importantly -- you notice a unity, civility, humility, and lack of chaos.

Truly, something to be thankful for.

That's a great observation.

Public servants, not wannabe dictators.

smiley-signs154Thanks for posting the photo, and a happy Thanksgiving to all!

However, when I looked up similar images, the first one that popped up was from the NY Post, with the line, "Biden gives Harris cold shoulder at DC soup kitchen..." RollingEyesSmiley5

Truly terrible reporting and eye of the beholder -- I see exactly the opposite of what they're saying. The only reason Joe's shoulder is turned away is because he's helping/receiving help/conferring with the guy to his left, and his wife is chatting with Kamala. I myself find it rude when someone is very obviously talking to someone else, that you try to speak with them... so Joe is actually being quite respectful here.

Forget it Jake, it's the NYP not the NYT.






I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Some intern spent hours of their Thanksgiving Day sorting through a couple gigabytes of images to find the one that looked like something spinnable, and that's the best they could do.
