1. K&R

TY, Cha!

[Cha]

4. You're Welcome, SheltieLover..

Mahalo, to you!

[Squinch]

2. It's just something in my eye...

[Cha]

6. I know what you mean, Squinch.. We Are Going To

Defeat this in spite of the malignant moron in the WH.

[Squinch]

12. We just have to glove and mask and make it till next January.

[Cha]

15. Right.. I'm going on the bus again this Sunday

to the beach town where I buy my groceries at the Natural Food Store. It will be my first time wearing my homemade mask that's from a tea towel.

It looks like it will do the job but it is harder to breathe and I will just have to grin and bear it.

StaySafe!

[Squinch]

16. Be really careful, Cha. We need you healthy!

[Cha]

19. Mahalo, Squinch! I'm trying but we still have to eat.. it's so

bizarre to realize that foraging for food could kill us.

All the kids who work in the store were wearing mandatory masks last week. I used to live above the store for 5 1/2 years.. so they're all friends. It's really good to see them once a week while I pick up groceries.. We Need you Healthy, too!

20. Put Some Paper Towel Between The Layers Of Tea Towel

This is on DU, somehwere, I just can't find the link to give credit

Paper towel mask inserts

"I was just watching my recording of Joy Reid's Sunday broadcast. She interviewed Jeremy Howard who wrote an article for The Guardian about wearing masks right now and Dr. Ashish Jha of the Harvard Global Health Institute who appears daily on MSNBC to talk about cv19.

Jeremy Howard pointed out several things. The Chinese have figured out that wearing a two layered cotton mask with a piece of paper towel inserted in between the layers can impede the virus from being transmitted because paper towels are so similar to surgical mask material. Conversation is now recognized as the main way that cv19 is being transmitted. Modelling suggests that if 80% of communities wears masks outdoors, "we can actually kill this virus".

So if no HEPA filters are available, the paper towel rectangle slipped into a mask pocket is efficient because of how similar it is to surgical mask material, Howard advised."

Be safe.

[Cha]

22. Aloha, Me!

What will that do? It's a really large, thick tea towel and it's folded 3 times and still ties comfortably behind my head.

[Me.]

24. Aloha Cha

"The Chinese have figured out that wearing a two layered cotton mask with a piece of paper towel inserted in between the layers can impede the virus from being transmitted because paper towels are so similar to surgical mask material."

It can't hurt

[Cha]

28. lol.. Paper Towel it is.. and

I got more information on it!

Mahalo!

[calimary]

41. Yep. Til November.

AND beyond. Til we’re firmly under Democratic control.

[William769]

3. Joe Biden is such a great leader.

I can't wait till he fills those shoes again.

[Cha]

23. I know William.. and we can begin

to put this long Global Nightmare behind us.

[Raven123]

5. Sorry, not the best campaign ad.

[LakeArenal]

8. Just throwing a bomb in.

No explanatory anything?

Just a buzz-kill bomb?

[Raven123]

11. Not a good CAMPAIGN ad. I see ads like that on TV regularly...

with similar comments made by local and national figures. The ad doesn’t tell me why I should vote for Joe, and before it is asked, I will.

[Cha]

17. I think it is a great Campaign Ad.. It's inspiring and

encouraging like we Need in a Leader. Something I can really use at this point in history.

And, I suspect many people do, too.

[LakeArenal]

18. Exactly. Now we are down to throwing bombs

No real dialogue. Just another reason to go negative.

[Cha]

21. Right.. Like we couldn't use one More Inspiring Ad..

We've seen enough! No, I haven't.. I don't even have a tv.

It's a stunning Ad bringing back all those times in history we've come through.. My grandfather perished in 2019 from the Spanish Flu Pandemic

Mahalo, LakeArenal

[LakeArenal]

26. We are lucky. Only a few deaths so far.

Only cases where we live. No death yet.

Be well.

Pura Vida.

[Cha]

10. That's just your opinion.. don't be "sorry".

[HarlanPepper]

40. What are Bernie's ads looking like these days?

[calimary]

7. Gratifying to see there's still trusted leadership in the world.

From Andrew Cuomo to Queen Elizabeth to Joe Biden, with a little Gavin Newsom and Kate Brown thrown in for good measure.

Leadership.

Leadership IS out there. We just can't expect to see or hear any from this White House. Glad there are other leaders to look to.

[Cha]

36. Thank you so much for calling out our brilliant Democratic

Leadership, calimary!

From Andrew Cuomo to Queen Elizabeth to Joe Biden, with a little Gavin Newsom and Kate Brown thrown in for good measure.

[calimary]

37. Well, Her Majesty isn't part of our Democratic leadership.

But she's got more authority and gravitas in one strand of hair than trump could ever have in his whole disgusting body.

[Cha]

38. lol.. right! I just saw that as I was reading my

post again.

Democratic Leadership with Queen Elizabeth for extra goodness!

[calimary]

39. And some REAL class.

I saw leadership. The people have loved her for decades. Over several generations. I will be sad when she leaves us. The word “majesty” fits her. To have an icon like that, connecting you to the ages of your country’s history and heritage, to embody the British identity like that.

It’s something we in America don’t have. Our leaders change at intervals. Our heads of state are installed by vote of the people and serve for a finite number of years. They’re only temporary symbols of leadership and national identity.

But the monarchy of England is different. Living history and heritage and continuity that directly links to centuries past and, into the future - all the way to her great-grandchildren.

Her son and immediate heir (Prince Charles) wears a signet ring with a symbol that stands for “I serve.” I always had a soft spot in my heart for him in his awkward struggles, outshined and completely washed over by Princess Diana. I found myself sympathetic to him during all that while everybody else was busy swooning over her. HE’s the one with the direct blood-connection to that amazing and storied heritage - from that amazing mother he has. (More or less that all the British people have.)

We do have that. On purpose. Our founders chose something different. But the Crown of England carries on. And the woman who still wears it can serve as a symbol of strength and constancy and stability and continuity for the whole world.

That Queen they have over there. That’s no mere woman. That’s a living INSTITUTION.

God save the Queen.

[Cha]

45. Thank you for this post about Queen Elizabeth's

Real Class, calimary! I agree.

Prince Charles got the COVID19 and has recovered!

[BidenBacker]

9. If Joe's right

then we should be pretty damn strong by the time this thing is finally over.

Trump is like a stress-test for democracy.

[Gothmog]

13. Great ad

[rockfordfile]

35. I agree

[Cha]

47. thanks rockfordfile!

[Cha]

46. It's so Inspiring to me, Goth.. Mahalo!!

[redstateblues]

14. Inspiring!

[BidenBacker]

25. I liked the ad myself

Not every campaign ad has to be a personal sales job. Sometimes it's nice just to be reminded once in a while that we're still a country and that it's not all about just one person...even if that person happens to be the POTUS.

We've been far too Trumpatized over the last 3-plus years. I'm tired of seeing his ugly-ass puss on TV 24/7. I'm tired of having his stupidity and ignorance constantly shoved down my throat. I'm tired of having a President who thinks it's necessary to make a galactically stupid comment or an outrageously insane Tweet every time he senses the country has stopped talking about him for more than 8 hours.

When Joe is President I just want him to hire some good competent people and then go do his damn job and mostly leave us alone to live our lives. If we don't see him for days or even weeks at a time that's just fine with me. Just pop up every once in a while to let us know "hey, folks...just letting you guys know I'm still here and that me and my people are taking care of business and everything looks pretty good at the moment". Or if he sees something possibly bad on the horizon then show up and give us a heads up about it and clue us in on what he's thinking about doing about it.

You know, like normal past Presidents used to do. Not this imbecilic egomaniacal narcissistic sorry excuse for a human being and an American we got now.

[Cha]

30. Well said, BidenBacker!

Mahalo~ I loved the Ad.

[BidenBacker]

31. Just got done watching the daily virus bullshit session

I swear, Cha...I've sat next to drunks practically falling off of barstools who made more sense and knew more than the Fuhrer.

Love what Fran Lebowitz said about him years ago...

https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2018/mar/20/fran-lebowitz-you-do-not-know-anyone-as-stupid-as-donald-trump

Echoing the reported opinion of former US secretary of state Rex Tillerson, Lebowitz thinks the biggest danger of Trump is that he is a moron. “Everyone says he is crazy – which maybe he is – but the scarier thing about him is that he is stupid. You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t.”

Fran knows of what she speaks!

[Cha]

32. And, trump has proven Fran Legowwitz more than

right.. over and over and over Again.

Thank you!

[blue-wave]

27. That's a great ad Cha!! K&R!

Thanks for posting!

[localroger]

29. My first choices were Pete and Liz, but I have got to say...

...this ad is a good example of why I am proud to stand behind Joe at this point in the campaign. He is now our candidate and a damn good one.

[c-rational]

33. K&R - A feel good Ad when we need one. Thank you Cha for all your posts.

[la-trucker]

34. Amazing ad

This is what we need - hope for a brighter future.

Thanks for posting.

[demtenjeep]

42. That was awesome

I love Joe


Always have.

[Absolute Kelvin]

[DenverJared]
