Since it really is true that one picture is worth 10,000 words, I am posting this photo of Joe Biden. Compare it with the previous photo published here, and there is nothing more that needs be said. Please consider becoming a paid subscriber for only $7/month or $70/years.
That's the beauty of pictures, and you picked a perfect pair. You did something else brilliantly, TC, and that was to keep the commentary very short and to the point.
I forget which classical rhetorical trope that was, but it definitely was one of 'em. the point, of course, being that I knew perfectly well that my intended audience was obviously in no way surprised...
I've been wondering myself about how people's perceptions of images or behaviors differ, sort of like those 'tests' whether one sees a hag or a beautiful woman in an image depending on your focus.
This morning on Smerconish, his polling question was about whether watchers perceived the mug shot as a positive for his campaign. Responses: No 58% Yes 42%
Thank you so much for this post, TC! I hope every Dem media outlet across the country does the same. For those who'd like to read the summary of President Biden's achievements that accompanied the photo on Substack, go here:

It's hard to see anything positive about that image Judith, it reeks of malice which is not something that you would want to hold up as an example, of your leader to a child. All of his wealth allows him to break every norm that the rest of us live by, but it has its limits, as he is beginning to find out. If you make a deal with the devil, there will be hell to pay, we here in GA are going to have a ringside seat.
Now here is a person who keeps the oath of office he has taken. We may not like every decision he makes but he and his administration have made good decisions for the United States and for everyone living in nation. AND they have made decisions that have defended democracy and freedom in the world. Are they perfect? Absolutely not. But they're not criminal and they're not in to make a buck for themselves or their business enterprises. No comparison.
i really believe that there are SO MUCH MORE of us, quietly and loudly in the background, and it is a 'no contest' event (to me) .. almost ALL inflated by our shameful press companies, desperate to squeeze every minute out of our national disgrace and disaster. Trump doesn't have a chance .. except to his cult. Have at it, I say. And, I believe that some day we will be thanking Joe Biden for saving our country ... just in time!

Five stars!
Bravo!
Presidential vs Reprehensible. How is that even a contest??
you'd be surprised what embracing the moronic and evil does to people's ability to perceive things...

It's the difference between ice cream and strychnine.
President Biden does indeed have a kind face...and a contagious smile.
Hello Joe! I'm so glad you are our president! Honestly, I just want to hug him!

Portrait of a bit-above-average Average Joe as opposed to a portrait of the lowest dregs of what this country has to offer.
Really, really well done.
Very well done.
TC, any screen plays in your Holster ?
We're going to have Saturday Night at the Movies tomorrow - the last screenplay I wrote that I got paid to write.
Saturday Nights Alright ... :)
If our fellow citizens can’t see the difference between the 2 we as a culture are screwed

Yet 42% of those responding to Smerconish's poll apparently see the mug shot as a positive image! : ' <
cooperation vs revenge, in a nutshell.
Cooperation and generous leadership.
Now here is a person who keeps the oath of office he has taken. We may not like every decision he makes but he and his administration have made good decisions for the United States and for everyone living in nation. AND they have made decisions that have defended democracy and freedom in the world. Are they perfect? Absolutely not.

If eyes are the view of the soul, chump’s go straight to hell. Empathy is what I see in Joe’s eyes.
A commenter posted this on another Substack this week. It brought me to tears…💙
