Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1215 (SoD #2105) - Happy Birthday Joe Biden and a big ol' Twitter and some videos round up

 Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1215 (SoD #2105) - Happy Birthday Joe Biden and a big ol' Twitter and some videos round up

INAUGURATION COUNTDOWN

59 DAYS to inauguration

Hi Mom,

This is usually COMIC BOOK SUNDAY, but that's taken a back seat for a while as I have more in the HODGE PODGE than I want to put in the hodge podge, and there's often a reason to do a separate post, like Biden's birthday.

I imagine our conversations, Mom. I imagine what you might say about this whole dumpster fire of a year. I know you liked Joe Biden and would like him as president. I know you would ADORE his wife. I think you would like Kamala Harris, too, though maybe not as much as I do.

Anyway, we would talk about all this, if you were still here, like I talk to Dad.

Here's lots of good stuff.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SMILING JOE!

Happy Birthday, President-Elect Joe Biden, God Love Ya

On this day in 1942, Joe Biden was born in a Pontiac Trans Am he built with his own hands. When he's sworn in on January 20, at the age of 78, he'll become the oldest president ever to take office, beating Donald Trump, the previous record-holder, and Ronald Reagan, who was, as the AP helpfully notes, "77 years and 349 days old" when he left office. Happily, there's no reason to believe Dr. Jill Biden has any interest in astrology. Is Joe Biden too old to be president? He's only four years older than Donald Trump, and as he takes office, Biden has a demonstrably better grasp of reality and of governing than either Trump or Reagan at any point in their White House careers.

And good lord does he have the decency and respect for the office — and for the American people — that's been missing for four years.

The AP also notes that Biden's doctor, Kevin O'Connor, said in a medical report released last December that Biden is "healthy, vigorous ... fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief." We should add that O'Connor didn't even remotely suggest that Biden will be the most vigorous, testosterone-fueled president in history, or predict that he'd live to be 200 years old. But he does work out five days a week, which is probably better than hyperbole.

Don't fall for his invitation to arm-wrestle, either, he'll trick you into a headlock and give you noogies.

Also too:

A September article by a group of researchers in the Journal on Active Aging concluded that both Biden and Trump are "super-agers" and are likely to outlive their American contemporaries and maintain their health beyond the end of the next presidential term.

But enough about his health. Let's talk about mine. This goddamn cold just won't go away, and I'm getting tired of it. Yes, yes, I got tested, I just have a stupid damn cold.

The thing that most impresses me about Old Handsome Joe Biden? He's managed to handle any number of tragedies in his life and remain an optimist. Not in a frivolous Pollyanna-ish way, but the kind of tough-minded optimism that acknowledges life can suck, deeply and painfully, but keeping going, working for a better world, is still worth it. You want an existential hero? Sisyphus should get a pair of Ray-Bans, man. And a green '67 Corvette Stingray.

So happy birthday, Old Handsome Joe. Let's fix this mess, and even have some fun tackling the job.

It's your OPEN THREAD!

Fourteen Trump Officials Are Currently Accused Of Criminal Conduct
Nov 07, 2020


RING OF FIRE
According to the latest count, fourteen different Trump cabinet members and White House officials are either under investigation for violations of federal law, or they have been accused of breaking federal laws. The laws that these officials broke are all the same: The Hatch Act. And while it may seem small, it just goes to show that this administration has no regard for the rule of law. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

AOC Says Progressives Have Won The Generational Moment
Nov 07, 2020


RING OF FIRE
During an interview with Bernie Sanders on Monday, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that progressives had already won the generational moment, and that Tuesday's election didn't change that at all (and she said that BEFORE the election.) And she's right. Progressives have won the battle of ideas, and they are slowly winning over the public, too. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Deutsche Bank Could Seize Trump's Assets When He Leaves Office
Nov 08, 2020


RING OF FIRE
Donald Trump owes hundreds of millions of dollars to Deutsche Bank, and that debt is coming due VERY soon. And, based on the repayment agreement, if Donald isn't able to pay, the bank could very easily and quickly begin seizing his assets. This is far more likely than most people realize, as Donald Trump isn't sitting on a mountain of cash at the moment. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Crazed Trump Supporters Are Threatening The Lives Of Election Officials
Nov 20, 2020


RING OF FIRE
Trump's craziest supporters are threatening violence against election officials in five swing states, according to new reports. This is not accidental: This is exactly the kind of behavior that Trump knew he was fostering with his nonstop lies about election fraud. This is what he wanted, and he is getting his disgusting wish. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.


The Kidnapping Plot Against Governor Whitmer Was WAY More Disturbing Than You Thought
Nov 20, 2020


RING OF FIRE
According to documents filed in court this week, the plot to kidnap Democratic Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer was far more disturbing than previously reported, and the men who were plotting were hoping to get other government officials, too, and then they were going to stage a televised execution. These are the people that Trump and the Republicans are embracing, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Trump And His Kids Are Facing Major Money Problems When He Leaves Office
Nov 21, 2020


RING OF FIRE
According to a new report by The Wall Street Journal, Trump and his children are facing a major cash flow problem once he leaves office, and the company might actually be forced to sell off multiple properties in order to stay afloat. The problem is a combination of both major debts coming due and a reluctance of financial institutions to lend to Trump because of his history. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

NEW (written 1708.27 and 1907.04) NOTE on time: I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of your death, Mom, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of your death, Mom. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom. Dropped "Talk to you tomorrow, Mom" in the sign off on 1907.04. Should have done it sooner as this feature is no longer daily.
