Bald eagles circling over Biden campaign event in Iowa

A rare and fair feathered sight concluded a Joe Biden campaign event in Iowa on Friday when a pair of bald eagles circled over the Democratic presidential candidate's head, according to a pool report.

Biden's campaign appeared to take the appearance of the national bird of the U.S. as a good omen.

"Nature knows," tweeted Biden's policy director Stef Feldman. "We’re gonna win Iowa," tweeted Christina Freundlich, Biden's Iowa deputy state director for communications.

Meanwhile Don Jr. vows to start stalking Biden events to kill any Bald Eagle that dares to go near the event. Don Jr. has a hard-on for taking kill shots of any protected species, because it makes him feel like a bigly rugged man.

Yeah, I think this it.

https://www.boredpanda.com/bald-eagle-attacks-trump-photo-shoot-time-magazine/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic

Eagles love America, just like Donald Trump, so it only makes sense that the two were brought together for a photoshoot on August 18th. Time Magazine was doing a cover-story on Trump, but newly released footage from the shoot reveals that Uncle Sam, the 27 year old bald eagle, is no docile bird.

When Trump reached for something next to Uncle Sam, the eagle lunged, making Trump recoil in shock. “What you will do for a cover – this bird is seriously dangerous but beautiful,” said Trump after the incident. Meanwhile, the Internet has been busy, creating gifs and memes of the hilarious incident.

Winning the country without winning Iowa would be plenty.

I trust everyone saw the clip of Drumpf "threatening" to never visit Iowa again if he doesn't win the state? I doubt if it changed any minds either way, but it was one of the most bizarre things I've ever heard in a political speech.
