The importance of #PresidentsDay is in the Details.

We are big fans of #PresidentsDay. Very protective of it.

1. Trump, The Blurred One, accident--I think not!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

9. The pics are meant to be of the agents, so.

[Baked Potato]

22. Sure thing! Statement in jest.

[mahina]

2. Fat is right up there with traitorous and incitor?

Come on.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

5. For some, it's as much of a moral failing as the other two.

[soothsayer]

6. Point taken

[WhiskeyGrinder]

10. Thanks for reconsidering.

[soothsayer]

11. No question about it!

[Sanity Claws]

3. No JFK or LBJ

but all of the other Presidents since Eisenhower.

Are they too much of a reminder of when the Secret Service failed?

[Tarc]

4. Do better than...what? He was a deplorable human being, but, he was still the President

and as such, will be pictured and mentioned from time to time.

Let's not go all Nikolai Yezhov here.

[soothsayer]

8. I don't begrudge them one. Two got up my nose...

Especially because the first tweet I saw had zero Biden.

Mebbe I’m thin skinned.

13. I think you might want to take a breath

[Mr.Bill]

7. Don't let Trump know you guys have a Twitter account.

He'll want to use it.

[StarfishSaver]

12. There are just too many things for me to focus on in life and politics

to get worked up over whether the Secret Service included one picture or two of the most recent past president it protected in a montage of president photos.

[soothsayer]

14. I feel like imma lose hearts. Can they be taken away?

[StarfishSaver]

15. I'm not taking any

In fact, if I could, I'd have given you one since I think you could use one ...

So, here's a hug instead.

[soothsayer]

16. Awwww, that's kind

[marble falls]

17. Unfortunate, but of no significance. They're supposed to protect the President whether ...

... he's the second coming of FDR or the penultimate President Harding.

[soothsayer]

18. Maybe I should say do better, usss comms person

That’s what annoys me. Not the agents he infected by the literal hundreds; they’re just doing their very very important and risky jobs.

Comms team let me down.

[marble falls]

19. Absolutely get that. But SS all in all seems to be apolitical. That doesn't mean, of course ...

... that no agents really dug Trumplinski, but I believe agents are able to keep their priority on the mission and not the man.

Trump was the last President, so I imagine current photos might be Trump heavy - a nuisance we will be "triggered" by for at least Joe's terms.

I understand your agony, I get it, too.

Here's a hug from me, also.

[soothsayer]

20. I'll take it! Just a lazy team. Ours would have fretted over the pics

Made sure they were inclusive, and balanced. I actually think they picked the airport pic for the rain, but to me it just seems....careless. They must have a trillion pictures.

I’m petty and not giving up on my pettiness...!

[marble falls]

23. I did the advertising for a company I worked for in the nineties. Wrote copy, did layout ..

... took the photos, did the camera ready dupe. If it had been you or me there might have been one cheetolini photo (maybe none but probably), and I would have made one of Joe Biden on day one.

But then you and I are craftsman who look at our projects seriously, and they were SS contractors with a very basic mandate: get us that layout so we can toot our horn on President's Day.

[soothsayer]

25. Exactly

[Midnight Writer]

21. I'm just happy my mailman doesn't have to be out today. 10 inches snow, wind chill 15 below.

Maybe tomorrow will be a little better.

[flibbitygiblets]

27. I hear ya!

Our rural mail carrier has gone through so much recently. COVID danger throughout 2020; her home nearly lost to wildfire last Sept; all the BS that DeLay did to make it harder for them to do their jobs in the run-up to the general election; then her home hit by a falling tree last month; now this ice storm (we're in Oregon). I drove past her house on our road today, the tarp from the fallen tree still covering part of her roof.

Yet she always shows up with a smile and the best service ever. The poor thing only has one more year until retirement--hang in there Luann!

[yellowdogintexas]

24. Isn't that President Biden and First Lady getting out of that car?

That is her Inauguration Outfit for sure.

[soothsayer]

26. Yeah, so at least one set has them. First tweet I saw had zero

Then I found the second one... and there that bastid was again.

Now I’m over my minor outrage but the post lives on in all its idiocy.
