We are a nation in pain right now, but we must not allow this pain to destroy us.

As President, I will help lead this conversation — and more importantly, I will listen, just as I did today visiting the site of last night's protests in Wilmington.

1. That's a fine and right thing to do, and he's promising to be

the national leader we very badly need.

But I prefer him working busily with others, getting ready to hit the ground running, from his basement. I shudder at the thought that he could become seriously ill before the election from a virus that targets older people.

[LakeArenal]

5. He isn't going to become ill.

I’m sure he can multitask and spend a Sunday with people who are hurting.

[MyOwnPeace]

9. Truly - tough call!

(and that's why we have political advisors!)

Yes, like Robert Kennedy in Indianapolis after Dr. King was shot, you'd like to see Joe out there calming the crowds, tending the flock, keeping the peace.

But, at the same time, special times that they are, we DO want him healthy! I'd like to think that there is a staff/group/committee/party leadership that IS working on important issues and indeed planning to hit the ground running.

He's fighting in a tough, unique situation: the incumbent always has the advantage (more so for IQ45 - the press will cover ANYTHING that idiot will do - they have for the past 10 years!) - and for the most part "the President" controls the dialog. At the same time, again, a unique situation, there has never been less respect for the office - a perfect opportunity to show what "could be" if given the chance.

Truth be told, the BEST plan is to sit back and let IQ45 keep digging his own grave - which he is doing quite well! At the same time, POSITIVE images, such as the one shown in this posting, keep reminding "what could be."

The BEST we can do? GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!!

[Hortensis]

31. +1000. And Lake assures us he'll stay well, so just... GOTV! nt

[Auggie]

10. An acceptable risk ... because IMO he HAD to do this

One picture is worth a thousand words

[Hortensis]

32. Yes. This was a particularly meaningful appearance,

and it seems he felt it was important.

[Act_of_Reparation]

16. He isn't going to win this thing from his basement.

Visibility has been a problem the past few months. He needs to fix that.

[bdamomma]

19. his approval

numbers are going up even if he is in his basement.

[Act_of_Reparation]

23. Well, shit.

Case closed. We got this in bag. Let's all crack open the champagne and start celebrating.

[bdamomma]

26. Well

my response might have been premature, but being in the basement may be helping him.

[Act_of_Reparation]

27. For the time being.

It's June, and those numbers are subject to change. Right now, people are fairly occupied being angry at Trump, which is helping Biden by default. How long will that last?

[MyOwnPeace]

35. Don't apologize - you may be right......

There are - to quote a certain "someone&quot many people saying that at this point just lay back and let IQ45 continue to shoot himself in the foot.
Events continue to show his numbers going down, all of that of his own doing. He keeps throwing out new bait that continues to put himself deeper into the wrong side of issues that are evolving daily.
At this point JOE seems to picking and choosing where to throw special "jabs" that will only make IQ45 look even worse. Not a bad strategy - sit back, let him continue to show himself to be the horse's a$$ that he is and every now and then throw another bit of bait to let him dig even deeper.
Seems like a good plan to me!

28. I wish that some of the people in that picture knew how to properly wear masks. nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

2. Contrast that with the "stable genius".

[marybourg]

6. The "stable" genius is a horse's ass.

[AZ8theist]

12. He's not a "horse's ass"....

HE'S A FUCKING IMBECILE.

Steve Schmitt said it best: "when Trump speaks, it's the musing of an imbecile"...

There is NO DUMBER HUMAN ON THE PLANET than Donald J, Dotard.

[spicysista]

3. Wow! Geaux, Joe!

[highplainsdem]

4. K&R!

[jalan48]

7. Great to see.

[oasis]

8. "It Takes a Village". It looks like Joe's approach to the situation. nt

[Cha]

11. That's exactly what Joe Bideh should be doing!

13. Meanwhile Trump hides in the White House ...

Meanwhile Trump hides in the White House,
behind his 'Vicious Dogs’ and ‘Ominous Weapons’.

18. Look at this. I have no words

Trump and advisers calculated that he shouldn’t speak to the nation because he had nothing to say, no tangible policy or action to announce, nor did he feel an urgent motivation to try to bring people together. So he let his tweets speak for themselves. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/as-cities-burned-trump-stayed-silent--other-than-tweeting-fuel-on-the-fire/2020/05/31/4fc8761a-a354-11ea-b619-3f9133bbb482_story.html …

20. Donald

only cares about Donald. Period.

[Alex4Martinez]

14. That sure looks like Kamala Harris just behind Joe.

Unlikely, but does look a lot like her, no?

[nolabear]

29. She was at an LA protest yesterday so I doubt that's her.

[mcar]

33. No. It doesn't

[PunkinPi]

40. That's not her, but she was out with protesters at the WH --

[ancianita]

15. YAY! He's being a symbol of unity. He's being presidential.

[gratuitous]

21. Meanwhile, the media continue their lonely vigil

Waiting for that golden moment, The Pivot, that signals the moment when Donald J. Trump at last becomes president.

[ancianita]

24. Can't help themselves, being corporate and all. Except that even corps know he's bad for business

in the long run.

They think they can survive an unstable country, but if they keep giving him legitimacy, he'll turn on them and come for them NEXT.

Only reality-committed professionalism will save them.

[SheltieLover]

17. K&R!

[warmfeet]

22. I so much look forward to voting for Joe.

Brings back happy memories of voting for Barack Obama.

Brings back happy memories voting for, and receiving, sanity.

Insanity, well, it really sucks.

Go, Joe!

25. Video

we can have a president like this if you vote.

[C Moon]

44. Someone needs to educate him on how to adjust a mask.

He's touching his nose with his hands.
We need VP Biden to stay healthy!

[paleotn]

30. That's what a real president sounds like.

The difference couldn't be more stark.

[Initech]

34. That is how a real leader acts!

[uponit7771]

36. POWERFUL PICTURE !!!

[live love laugh]

37. Trump can't do that they'd turn on him like the dog he doesn't have. nt

[George II]

38. What an amazing man! He's out talking to Americans while that other coward is hiding out....

....in the basement of the white house.

A tale of two men (actually one man and whatever that other one is)

[mcar]

39. Trump talks tough while hiding in a basement

Biden is out talking to people. Big difference.

Funny how the Trump cultists keep thinking their god is a manly man.

[AirmensMom]

41. That's my president!

What a truly compassionate man he is!

LOL ... and I noticed that not only is he wearing a mask, but he's due for a haircut. Way to walk the walk, Joe!

[McCamy Taylor]

42. Very presidential.

[C Moon]

43. Yes!!!

[11 Bravo]

45. Meanwhile, Trump was in a bunker five stories underground.

Bleating about "toughness".

As we used to say down south, "That boy ain't right".
