i feel good about biden in that office, especially if he's really learned the lessons he needed to from the obama years.

That's called a joke--never mind, carry on doing what you do.

#Biden sad the new US president has removed bust of Winston Churchill from oval Office but to replace him with the hard left failed socialist Cesar Chavez is very worrying

biden's goal is to vaccinate 1m/day. someone should tell him we vaccinated 1.5m yesterday and averaged 930k/day in the last seven days and maybe we should aim a little higher than "what the trump administration managed".

Not "concerning." We've moved up to DEFCON 1, i.e. "worrying."

i feel like it's a powerful symbol. immigrants, the working class--i hope biden *really does* see these as his constituencies. i know his record suggests he doesn't but it's a new era now.

(xpost) Same point Gupta made on CNN (and has been making for the past week or two).

100 million a day would be nice

Two of our three local hospital networks have canceled scheduled vaccination appointments in the last two days. Shit's bad.

On #COVID19 @POTUS #Biden just signed ten exec orders aimed at expanding access to care & vaccination, mobilize @FEMA & National Guards, provide clarity about opening schools & businesses, invoke the Defense Production Act for all COVID-related supplies, and

Xpost Ugh.

Gotta hope installing Biden's federal strategy that he EOed earlier will help

2/ require pre-boarding testing of all air passengers coming to USA and mandatory quarantine on arrival.
He warns that 100,000 more Americans will die of the disease in the next month, and "things are going to get worse before they get better."

Quick, someone find me copies of the pics of Tuomas in his speedo and I'll split the money with you.

Lol, maybe we should also add him to the so not gonna happen picture too, just in case.

that one would be excellent imo

I mean, my photoshop skills are terrible so happy to just put the idea out in the universe.

Cesar Chavez was no saint, but at least he didn't have five gin & tonics before breakfast.

― Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 21 January 2021 20:38 (five years ago)

That sounds kinda good, now that I think about it.

churchill being a drunk is his most humanizing quality

― Fenners' Pen (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 21 January 2021 20:40 (five years ago)

reciting Shelley by the yard too

― meticulously crafted, socially responsible, morally upsta (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 21 January 2021 20:40 (five years ago)

That and having ginger hair.

― Waterloo Subset (Tom D.), Thursday, 21 January 2021 20:41 (five years ago)

churchill committed genocidal atrocities in order to preserve the crumbling british empire.

chavez saw undocumented workers as a threat to the bargaining power of his union and supported tight borders.

― treeship., Thursday, 21 January 2021 20:42 (five years ago)

Actual WaPo headline:

Woman accused of stealing Pelosi’s laptop is released from detention, placed in mother’s custody

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 21 January 2021 20:42 (five years ago)

i'd say churchill is more fucked up by a lot. his most humanizing quality though wasn't his drinking but his painting.

― treeship., Thursday, 21 January 2021 20:43 (five years ago)

thot that said panting at first

― Looking for Cape Penis house (Neanderthal), Thursday, 21 January 2021 20:44 (five years ago)

imo, let the British tabloids fume and sputter about Churchill. It's a tempest in a teapot and the US has far more urgent issues to address.

― Respectfully Yours, (Aimless), Thursday, 21 January 2021 20:44 (five years ago)

... did you just call Churchill a thot (xp)

― Hello Nice FBI Lady (DJP), Thursday, 21 January 2021 20:45 (five years ago)

thot that said panting at first

Well, all those cigars couldn't have been good for his respiration.

― Waterloo Subset (Tom D.), Thursday, 21 January 2021 20:46 (five years ago)

The headline here is a little deranged but the book this article reviews is excellent imo

Wasn't Churchill an amateur bricklayer as well? I always thought that was an odd hobby.

― Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 21 January 2021 20:51 (five years ago)

I hope his brickie's eye was better than his painter's eye

― calzino, Thursday, 21 January 2021 20:52 (five years ago)

he also wrote several huge books and lived to be 90-something despite drinking two bottle of champagne and a half bottle of whiskey per day or something

Looool at Tony Bennett.

There was a time when I didn’t like Kenneth Mars because he was too over-the-top but that time is long past.

Tommy DeVito's mom painted.

― clemenza, Thursday, 21 January 2021 20:59 (five years ago)

bush's paintings have more pathos in em because they are driven, maybe unconsciously, by guilt

― treeship., Thursday, 21 January 2021 21:00 (five years ago)

but churchill's landscapes were fine, idk. sterile and empty but i'd rather have that on my wall than a childish portrait of putin.
