But in regard to Uncle Joe, one can also define gravity as a force of interaction with other bodies and/or his seriousness and solemnity in things important to people and to the nation.
Prime example in his speech from the Oval Office last night:
“There were extreme voices threatening to take America, for the first time in our 247 year history, into default on our national debt. Nothing. Nothing would have been more irresponsible. Nothing would have been more catastrophic.”
“No one got everything they wanted, but the American people got what they needed.”
on the other side though there’s more than just a stumbling in sight

on the thread title ‘toon, note the two guys at either end of the bar. classic barflies captured. as rick would say “in all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world” there’s always guys like them. i swear i’ve seen those same fellers somewhere before.
Having spent so many years playing music for the residents of Barstool Mountain I will concur…..I’ve seen those two guys in about every bar I ever went into.
Ha….play these videos and run into old friends now and then. Now in Dallas, that guy on guitar with the white shirt and the vest, he’s one of ‘em.
It’s Saturday morning and I’m missing CBob’s vibe. Oh well, time marches on.

That guy on the left—I guess I’ve even BEEN him a time or two.
OK…..a time or two hundred.
lol
I guess Republicans smell blood in the water, everybody in the pool against Trump. Hope they leave some attack lines for Democrats in the general.
That’s not blood—that’s sewage; and they’re all chin deep in it.
“Doooooon’t make a waaaaave.
Dooon’t make a waaaaave. “
And for something old and smelly – sfb on a ramp.

Those third grade jokes recycle pretty good, huh.

“Trump-appointed judge rejects Tennessee’s anti-drag law as too broad, too vague”
“The law is both “unconstitutionally vague and substantially overbroad” and encouraged “discriminatory enforcement,” according to the ruling late Friday by U.S. District Judge Thomas Parker, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump.”
“Simply put, no majority of the Supreme Court has held that sexually explicit — but not obscene — speech receives less protection than political, artistic, or scientific speech,” he said.
It was bad enough when it was bad enough when it was suggested that Oprah would be a good senator. Now the three goopers in California are hoping Steve Garvey would be a good senator oy vey — he would be the Tommy Tuberville of California The Dem to stupid people in Cal is 2:1 the Republicans have zero chance of winning — it would be a big shock if there was a Republican still in the race for the run-off.

“As India’s population this year overtakes that of China, the unrealized ambitions of its innumerable youth – more than half of its 1.4 billion people are under the age of 30 – can burden the wider world if left unaddressed.”
“Shut out of the traditional labour market, the alternatives India’s working-age youth are exploring will forecast the future of work globally.”
“For perhaps the first time in history, we see a peculiar combination: the emergence of a large youth population that is ambitious and tech-savvy, against the backdrop of a shrinking job market and rapidly transforming internet.”
“While India’s market for legitimate jobs in the technology sector expands, recruiters complain of a talent shortage that goes back to the lack of relevant education and skills training outside of elite campuses.”
“Even if more job seekers were upskilled, the IT industry, which currently employs around 5.1 million people, could only accommodate a fraction of the 4.75 million Indians who enter the labor force every year.”
“Disinformation is no longer a problematic aspect of the Indian internet, but a defining feature. Hate speech, fake news and deep fakes are posted and shared more frequently than ever before.”
“Neither willing to alienate their key user base nor prepared to take on the Indian government, social media companies have done little to counter the hate circulating on their platforms in multiple languages.”
“Given their seeming lack of incentive to crack down, what is happening in India today can easily be replicated in any other place with a faltering democracy, cheap internet, and a large young population forced into idleness.”
Word to the wise – if in your refrigerator is a bag/box/glob of refried beans with chilies, that is at or over two weeks old, do not, repeat: do not, eat them. Bad things happen. UUhh, bad things happen.

IOWA
“GOP presidential candidates stay on message at Roast and Ride in Iowa; attack Biden, not Trump”
“Former President Donald Trump, who remains the front-runner, was the only major candidate not present, but his rivals for the GOP nomination declined to take the opportunity to directly attack him — or even mention his name.”
“Volunteers and staff from the campaign roamed the event at the Animal Learning Center, planting Trump signs, donning T-shirts and manning a booth alongside the rest of the campaigns.”
Unlike, MAGAts, animals can learn.
“Their messages echoed nearly identical themes: Unity, patriotism and American exceptionalism. Their objective was uniform: Defeating President Joe Biden and America’s “woke” left.”
“…Republican challengers used their time to familiarize themselves with voters and outline their priorities. They talked about their upbringings, their parents, the value of hard work and how America is a country of opportunity, not racism.”
Idiots

“Pence, who is expected to formally enter the race next week in Iowa, was the sole candidate to join Ernst on the ride from Big Barn Harley-Davidson. He donned his own leather vest…”
Or, riding around.
