Finding themselves alongside Kamala and Doug, Joe and Jill won't pretend to emit joy.

At the Kennedy Center Honors last night:

ā§Šā§ĢāĻŸি āĻŽāĻ¨্āĻ¤āĻŦ্āĻ¯:

Lazarus āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

"Don't jump."

hawkeyedjb āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

"Don't jump." Hah. Is it applause or encouragement?

Paul āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Maybe they can help Joe over the railing.. but no, that won't do.... they have to wait for Joe to pardon them for their crimes.

Eva Marie āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

No pardon for Kamala, then.

cfs āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

I believe that is what was called a "cut indirect" in Victorian society terms.

(1) The cut direct is to stare an acquaintance in the face and pretend not to know him.
(2) The cut indirect, to look another way, and pretend not to see him.

MadisonMan āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

What is Kamala wearing? Bonnie Raitt is a very worthy recipient, I think, especially for that marvelous Mike Reid song.

Dixcus āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

I bet Jill can't wait till that bag of child molester keels over so she can get on over to Mar-A-Lago and get busy with a real man.

Leslie Graves āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Man. That was painful.

Peachy āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

That those people were cheering those crooks and liars. . sheesh. Talk about bad loyalty.

Lawcruiter āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

No need to pretend anymore

Limited blogger āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Cold as ice

Aggie āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Don't worry, they're headed someplace warm.

hawkeyedjb āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Kamala reminds me of the Chance character in "Being There." She has stumbled into a role that has nothing to do with reality, and she is applauded for her vapid, empty-headed pronouncements. I wonder how often she thinks, "How did I get here? What do I do now?"

Yancey Ward āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Ok, Lazarus wins today's internet.

gilbar āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

so Who Where those people?
i'm assuming that they used to be Somebodies.. ONCE?

Ice Nine āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Jill and Joe did that very well. Were they waiters at one time in their lives?

Ampersand āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Washington DC is utterly out of sync with the people of the US. The concentration of public employees, lobbyists, foreign influence, lawyers, media, and a vast preponderance of low income black people guarantee that its consensus will always be at odds with the views of the nation.
So clap for Biden and Harris, you barking seals!

RCOCEAN II āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

The Power elite in all their glory. And their stooges. Biden looks pretty good for 82. But then, he only has to have a couple good hours a day, to look OK in public. Who was he cranning his neck to see and wave to?

RCOCEAN II āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

I can just imagine Senators thune, Cornyn, Collins, and McConnell in the crowd, shedding bittersweet tears at seeing their "old pal" Joe Biden, and realizing that Goddamn Trump and his Republican House of Reps are back to spoil their fun.

Former Illinois resident āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Can't wait till all four of them disappear from national stage.

PM āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

But not by landing on it, dear God.

Mattman26 āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Compare these images to that shot of Jill and Ashley at Notre Dame gazing fairly adoringly at Trump the other day. Quite a contrast.

Wilbur āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

As the villian Stacy said in High Plains Drifter "I can find better than you in a two-bit fancy house."

Wilbur āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Probably no one. It's a move politicians do while they're waiting for applause or cheering to subside when they are introduced. Hilary was famous for her move of pointing at some indistinct person, putting on a huge grin and cackling. She did it every single time.
They do it to avoid standing there stiffly, waiting.

Jupiter āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Actually, according to Wikipedia, which is usually pretty reliable on things that can be easily checked, blacks were at 41% of the DC population in the 2020 census. It was nice of them to keep all that real estate warm, but it's needed now to house the ever-growing ranks of Our Democracy (TM).

Jamie āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Yes, what IS Harris wearing? It's like when women wear leggings approximately the color of their skin and it looks as if they're naked from the waist down. Choose another color!

William āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Biden could have shoved her over the railing and then pardoned himself. That's something she should keep in mind when making these appearances. He's a kindly old man with memory lapses and sudden impulses. I don't think all that many would hold the offense and his pardon for it against him.

mccullough āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Agree.

mccullough āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

He was looking for Cary Grant

wsw āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

When non-entities clash

Whiskeybum āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

They were at Notre Dame? Who won? Oh, uh…

loudogblog āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

Well, that's an akward silence.

Krontekag āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

William that was extremely funny

Noynac āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

“ Honorees included members of the Grateful Dead, Bonnie Raitt and Francis Ford Coppola, among others.” Well. What a long strange trip it’s been. I learned from other sources that the Dead played 23,000 live shows. Incredible.

Martin āĻŦāĻ˛েāĻ›েāĻ¨...

On the other hand she was all smiles with Trump at Notre Dame.
