That is, he's passing; he also appears not to be running. Therefore the photo and the statement are not fake. It is, however, very funny. A sense of humor is a nice thing to have but I don't think one can be ordered from Amazon.

Keep attacking others though.

Some people think Monty Python is not funny. Both opinions are completely inexplicable to me, as is the opinion that this post isn't funny. But whatever.

No animals, vegetables or minerals were harmed by the posting of this joke.

But, as you know, "get a life" is not enforceable in a court of law.

I wish it were true but pretty sure his ego can't quit him.

Hope he endorses her

I love Joe; we all love him. But it's time to pass the baton to the next generation. That he is standing down shows me that he has good judgement.

...are trying to figure out where that whooshing sound is coming from.

Or waltered. Both versions seem acceptable.

He would have a made a great president, but perhaps this is for the best.

LOL!

Some folks take everything literally, it seems. Too bad...

Both too old. Sorry.

When she took office.
Historically Dems win with a younger candidate. Think Obama, Bill Clinton, JFK, Jimmy Carter (52 when he took office). Our opponent will be 74. I just think a candidate at least under 70 has a better chance.

help the next generation candidates.

I caught the pass but lots of fumbles on this thread.

you have a sense of humor.

Something on the wane here on DU, methinks.

There is a difference between that and a lie. See if you can think of what that difference might be.

Posting satire in GD is a long, long tradition on DU. Recognizing it is a little harder, though, sometimes, for some people.

"Damn it. I goofed it. I was wrong and won't dig my hole any deeper in an attempt to rationalize otherwise and simultaneously advertise a lack of character. Well, we're all just human. It happens.

You should try that one day. But today is not that day...

You should self-delete

Self-delete already.

It's a joke.

I'm amazed at the number of replies that have not quite gotten the joke as of yet.

Or are incensed that someone would actually attempt to display wit and humor in a post.

to delete this. Some folks cannot see any way other than literally. Too bad for them.

I'm never surprised that some take things so literally. No matter how hard I try to signal the satirical nature of the post, some become incensed that they didn't get the joke. Of course, if everyone recognized it as satire, it would be poor satire, indeed.

He is an expert at pass, punt and kick.

Joe is the right person for these times.

Can't see his legs or feet in that picture.

But then the picture made me laugh.

Well done.

Btw, it seems your plea beneath the pic went unnoticed by more than a few

you got me! And yes, I have a sense of humor about it, just like I do when late-night comedians make fun of candidates of both parties during political season.

We need some laughter. It releases oxytocin to counteract all that cortisol we’re bathing our brains in these days. I’m serious. We’re doing ourselves harm by being so scared and angry with no satirical relief!

The OP.

The responses.
