Remember when politics was so boring, we could go days at a time without thinking about it?
Nervous fellow Repubs:
On one hand, Trump is unhinged and a terrible human being – one of the worst individuals (politician or not) in the entire country; on the other hand, without him we can't do more gerrymandering in states like Wisconsin. So you take the bad with the good..

Question: "[President Trump's] trying to belittle you for wearing a mask, making it seem like it's a sign of weakness. Is it?"

One might classify that as gelding the lily.

Uncle Joe is cool. I think he’s taking lessons from Nancy Smash! as to how to piss Trump off.

There’s a technique to cleaning your hands with hand sanitiser. Watch the ending: it’s a reminder that hand sanitiser is flammable.

@kindness:
Yeah, Joe seems to playing it quite well, so far. I’m sure he’ll stumble a few more times along the way, but at least he will admit that he stumbled. Refreshing, it is.

Does Trump buy his bronzer at The Dollar Store? Does he think that crusty orange varnish is fooling anybody?

Uncle Joe’s not always eloquent, but when it comes to calling bullshit on a fool, he is Hemingway, fierce and to the point.
Joe goes straight old school East Coast blue collar: “yeah, that’s bullshit (and come prove me wrong monkey-boy)”. Joe wants to punch Trump in the nose, and (probably?) can, and nothing scares Trump more than grade school ass-whooping.

Believes it does for him what it did for Dietrich’s gams in Kismet?

Wasn’t the person asking that ridiculous question the same one who declared that Trump was the leader we need right now?
Every day for four years now. The news is what Trump says or does, what people say about it, and what Trump says about those people. Over and over and over and over . . .

Were can I get that mask Biden is wearing? That has some style to it.
And Biden’s confidence with that mask is pretty amazing to watch.

Thank you, Mr. Biden.

Well, that photo does catch Trump at an unfortunate moment: the wind has lifted that ridiculous swoop of hair away from his face, so you can see the bronzer line a consistent 1cm away from his hair (implant) line. And yes, he looks even more clownish than usual; I hadn’t known that was possible.

cleaning your hands with sanitizer
Just my periodic reminder that properly washing your hands with soap and water is better.

Totally OT, but it’s late night, so I will ask: anyone encountered Abbey Park, a steampunk band? Their covers of Minnie the Moocher and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang are very fun and catchy.

@Amir Khalid:
Trump is said to wear lifts. He slathers on bronzer and has plugs. He must be wildly insecure, which explains his incessant need for praise.

Guitar, drums and calliope?

@joel hanes:
It’s not any better. As long as 60% or higher alcohol is contained in the hand sanitizer, it will kill the virus provided enough is used for 20-30 seconds. Handwashing is more for when the hands are visibly soiled.
NotMax
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
It’s more thorough when it comes to things like getting under and flushing out underneath the nails.

@NotMax:
They sound a little like a klezmer metal band, but with steampunk attire.
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
@NotMax:
That is true. Generally speaking, hand sanitizer is fine to use. It’s preferable to use soap and water if you can, but sanitizer is good on the go
smike
@NotMax:
If you have a source of plentiful, clean water and soap, hand washing is great, but I don’t see any problem with scraping some of that hand sanitizer under your fingernails (even if they are not-so-clean).

It looks just like the ones I just bought on Amazon. They came today. Nice and soft and comfortable.

@West of the Rockies: Do you mean Abney Park? Back when I went to Steampunk conventions, their concerts were a high point. I just loved everything about them.
I don’t go to cons anymore, and stopped going to stand-alone concerts ages ago. The thing is, I much prefer Abney live. There’s nothing wrong with their recorded music, per se – but the lead singer’s voice for some reason is much softer and milder in the studio. Live, he has powerful pipes, it’s like the voice of God.

I was wondering if that AdotSad tweet was being sarcastic, and then I looked at its feed in an incognito window, and now I desperately want to punch something until it breaks.

Biden’s gonna win this by being more of an alpha dog than Trump. Hard to believe, since Trump manages to alpha dog nearly everyone simply by the fact that he has no clue he’s not an alpha dog.

And P.S.:
@Enhanced Voting Techniques:
That’s the kind of thing I’m talking about.
Uncle Cosmo
@West of the Rockies: Maybe he’s got a stash of merthiolate he uses as hand sanitizer & face wash.

@joel hanes:
Yes, of course it is. And when 4-door SUV’s come with running hot water, I’ll do that more and use alcohol-based hand sanitizer less often.
But for now, when I get back into my vehicle while out shopping, I goober up with hi-test 77% ethanol hand sanitizer, and lots of it.
I try to avoid setting it on fire, too!!

Forget the mask (though those are easy enough to hammer out even hand sewing), but how about his socks?
