1. K & R.....

[kiri]

17. stop the crossed arms

Biden uses his crossed arms too often. It is a combative, defensive posture.
I know it may be habitual, but he needs to practice looking relaxed with arms at his side.

[gristy]

18. Agreed. It's not easy, but it can be done.

I recall in the roll call last night many people standing relaxed with their arms at their side. I suspect there was a coaching memo and that was one of the tips.

[PatSeg]

25. I liked during the debates with Sanders

when he stood relaxed with one hand in his pocket. He look very self-assured and presidential.

As for the crossed arms, I haven't noticed him doing it excessively and in the above photo it looked perfectly fine.

[onetexan]

31. Agree, the crossed arms just tells me he's self-confident. His smile and demeanor is warm and

empathetic, not combative & defensive. I don't see a problem with it.

I've seen 45 with crossed arms with a mean, dictatator-wanabe facial expression. That to me is the posture of a man who is combative & defensive.

[PatSeg]

32. Oh yes

When Donald crosses his arms, he looks like a spoiled toddler who isn't getting his way. I expect him to start throwing food any second.

[FoxNewsSucks]

36. yeah,

there's a clear difference between the confident arms-crossed pose of Biden and the petulant pending-tantrum defensive arms-crossed posture of MF45

[demigoddess]

34. on him it looks good, and not defensive.

[sunnybrook]

2. Hits newsstands Friday

I am buying a physical copy! Can't wait.

[ecstatic]

11. Good idea. I didn't think about that,

but it's yet another historical moment we're in!

[Scarsdale]

3. Great photos!

Normal, adult people. Imagine having THEM in the WH and in VP residence?

[Aussie105]

15. Normal, adult people.

I remember a time when those characteristics were a given for any politician. Well, most, anyway.

Nice to see normality in action. Missed it greatly over the past few years. Seems more like a couple of decades, really.

Time for the cardboard cutouts in the WH to start packing their bags.
Best check the kitchen silverware before they leave. Bag checks called for, secret service guys!

[Scarsdale]

19. I remember a time,

many moons ago, when I actually RESPECTED politicians of both parties. I honestly thought they were doing their best for this country. They addressed each other with respect, and seemed dignified. Well, NOW that curtain has been ripped off completely. Exposed is the vile underbelly of the republican party of greedy selfish people. Out to enrich themselves, no matter what it takes. Travel to Moscow on the 4th of July? Good idea, then Vlad can pay us in person, no pesky paperwork to explain. Prop up the least qualified goon EVER to sit in the Oval Office? YES! He has the same (low) values we have. We can help destroy the USA, just as Boris said "We will destroy the US from within. No bombs needed" Did he know, even back then how corrupt the gop really is? People had better wake the HELL up while there is still time to save this country. Or is there?

[napi21]

29. YEAP! Newt Gingrich changed all that! The Pubs have been utter JAes ever since! n/t

[PunkinPi]

4. Outstanding photos...

[CaptYossarian]

5. Such intelligent, high moraled women that Joe hangs with.

The other guy's married to a space alien-looking creature and has to listen to DeVos all day.

I'd go nuts too.

[jaxexpat]

6. I'm jaxexpat and I approve these photos.

[niyad]

7. KNR

[Lonestarblue]

8. With the Biden-Harris ticket, Democrats are taking away Republicans' family values claim.

No one can claim that Trump represents family values with three marriages, affairs with porn stars, numerous allegations of sexual assault, possible underage sexual assault through Epstein—and then the image he holds up for the nation’s children to emulate as a constant liar, a mean bully, a lazy dolt who golfs or watches TV most of the time, a man who praises himself every time he’s on TV, and a person who cheats to win. Some role model.

Dr. Jill claimed the family values for the Democratic ticket with her speech last night.

[demmiblue]

9. He's rocking those socks... watch out Justin!

[McCamy Taylor]

27. +1

[ecstatic]

10. Cute. The masks are such a huge reminder of how badly trump fucked up.

It's so surreal!

Also, shouldn't Biden be wearing a more expensive mask, like an n95??

[peggysue2]

12. Great pics!

Love that first one of Biden and Harris donning the requisite masks. Another reminder of where we are 76 days out.

[The Wizard]

13. Even with masks

You can see the smiles are genuine and not the forced visage the Trump cartel exudes.

[Kind of Blue]

20. +1000!

[soldierant]

30. Absolutely - and that is a big part of

why the crossed arms in the photo don't look confrontational.

But yes - he still should cut down. Expecially in situations where he has to wear a mask and the smile can't be seen.

[c-rational]

14. They all look wonderful and so relaxed at and ease with each other. And oh, nice socks Joe.

[packman]

21. SEND JOE SOME SOCKS-

We need to send him some pairs of socks to show our support- I'm sure he'd send them to a shelter

[Poiuyt]

33. George HW Bush would wear some pretty wild socks too

[dalton99a]

16. Kick

[Totally Tunsie]

22. That's our winning team,

and they sure look great!

BIDEN/HARRIS 2020

[crickets]

23. Wholesome normality and competence is so appealing right now.

Both candidates and their families are bursting at the seams with it - go Joe and Kamala! Lovely piece.

[IronLionZion]

24. Great socks!

Those 2 are the right choice to lead America out of this nightmare. I don't envy them for the massive mess they have to clean up

[McCamy Taylor]

26. Biden looks like a cardiothoracic surgeon in that mask.

Not a bad look for a man running for president.

[dchill]

28. Presidential.

[In It to Win It]

35. Look at that pose! Kamala's such a G

[Raine]

37. Jill looks so elegant in her pretty white dress

and platform sandals, just lovely!
