Tue Mar 17, 2020, 09:34 PM

for those who have the virus, their families and those who are scared because of the situation.

Has no one in Trump’s inner circle noticed that he hasn’t ONCE made any statement of concern for anyone affected by this crisis? Isn’t it obvious that he thinks he is the biggest victim in all this? His beautiful stock market is in shambles, his re-election is endangered and he hasn’t been on the golf course in over a week.

Tue Mar 17, 2020, 09:48 PM
Mar 2020

This is strategic imaging at its best and most powerful.

What the subliminal message is - HERE'S what a President would say. Here's what a President would sound like. Here's how a President would behave: calm - and calming, resolute, honest, reassuring, and in command. Listening to him making this address might evoke in the minds of viewers especially some fleeting thoughts of "shit, wouldn't it be nice if we had a president like this..." or "what would it be like if THIS was the kind of president we had right now..." or "wow - I wish he was the one in charge..." Rather than the bloated, constipated, forked-tongued orange enema bag on legs, who's temporarily occupying OUR White House.

Biden positions himself well against the eventual opponent. He's already got you thinking of him as president because you can kinda picture it already. This is the second time he's done that. This is going to help many voters, unconsciously, add two plus two and get BIG favorables and credibility points, which are all the more yearned-for considering how much of those we currently DON'T have in a so-called president. Color me EXTREMELY impressed. This is such an impressive subliminal and visceral strategy that it almost takes my breath away!

That is BEYOND-shrewd thinking! Glad it's on our side! Not to mention relieved!

Whoever came up with this needs to be named White House Press Secretary or Communications Director in Biden's (or ANY victorious Democrat's) White House.

Yeah, me neither.

What a great and uplifting talk by Joe!

So mature.

So calming.

So Presidential.

My new laptop has what's called a 'lock screen'.. it's what I see when I open it up in the morning or whenever, and after clicking 'enter' I'm brought to the wallpaper photo of my choice.

Here's the thing - I placed a really nice picture of Joe on the lockscreen - it fills the screen just like the wallpaper photo. No matter what time of day I open the laptop, I see Joe smiling at me and giving me confidence that YES, we WILL get through this - together.

And I get a kick out of looking Joe in the eye and saying "Good Morning, President Biden" or "Good afternoon", etc.

But hot-damn, it feels GREAT to be enthusiastic again when saying the word 'President'!!

GO JOE!!!
