CRISIS ON THE MANTEL

Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,

Perhaps you recall that when we last visited the superheroes on my mantel, Barack and Joe were holding hands. I thought it was because they're still happy in their bromance.

It took  Kay G (Georgia Girl With An English Heart) to make me realize that not everyone was pleased. She wrote in her comment: Obama doesn't look happy to hold hands with Biden!

I took a closer look and saw it was Joe who had grabbed Barack's hand


He was pleased and continued to smile that big-Joe-grin of his.


Now observe the shock of Barack:


Barack Obama was not a happy camper. What did he do?
 

Yes, it's true. Barack Obama turned his back on Joe Biden. Kamala said, Joe, I'll hug you, while Justice Ginsburg threatened Barack: Former President Obama, turn around right now and offer your hand to Current President Biden. His approval ratings are in the shitter and he needs you. If you don't comfort and support him, I shall knock you on the noggin with my big, heavy gavel!

At the moment she was needed the most, someone new showed up to offer her expert negotiation skills.


Yes! It's Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who entered the fray without hesitation.

Hillary said,  I'm sure we can reach an agreement that will please everyone. President Obama, if President Biden promises not to grab your hand again, then will you turn around and stand by his side? President Biden, please accept Vice President Harris' offer of a hug. She can comfort you in your time of need. Just don't smell her hair. 

And that's where the superheroes stand (they don't bend at the waist so they can't sit down). Will Joe and Kamala hug? Will Barack turn around? Will Ruth put down her gavel? Will Hillary get the respect she deserves?

Will the crisis on the mantel be resolved? 

I sure hope so. It's late and I need to get to bed.

I dissent, says Justice Ginsburg. I don't have to go to work in the morning and I want to stay up late to watch a movie. I haven't seen Dirty Dancing in years. Nobody puts Ruthie in a corner!


Infinities of love,

Janie Junebug

  2. This is better than any soap opera on TV! I'm on the edge of my seat wondering how it will all work out!

  3. Janie, whatever it is you're drinking, I want some! This is so much more creative than me finding my plushies (okay, teddy bears) in compromising positions around the house. I'm going to be chuckling all day.

    1. If I can make you happy, then the agony of pulling words out of my feeble brain is worth it. And it's Diet Pepsi most of the time, or chocolate milk, although I do enjoy a nice margarita.

  5. Do you collect these figures? They are recognizable, unlike so many I've seen for sale

    1. Yes, I'm collecting them, but I don't have all that are available. I add one or two at a time.

    1. So do I. They're still squabbling and no one can make a decision.

  11. Ha ha! Thankfully no-one's made a doll of Boris Johnson yet. (AS far as I know unless it's a voodoo doll.)

    1. The company that made my superheroes made a trump. I don't have him. His hair is removable and he has his middle finger sticking out.

  12. So funny! I will try to type this as I am chuckling! I am glad that you made sure all these characters did the right thing! LOL! You know, I do think that we might have been childhood playmates at one time. Have you ever lived in Georgia? (And I do mean that in a good way, it would have been so nice to think that we have. Every place that I lived, I enjoyed the friends that I made along the way.)

    1. Definitely never lived in Georgia, but I've made a lot of lovely friends along the way, too, including my blogging friends.
