I assume you’ve seen the many, many Obama-Biden memes going around involving things Biden is doing to prepare for a Trump Presidency. I saw one today that was absolutely brilliantly funny. Grab a mug of Butterbeer, Mead, Firewhisky, or whatever you like and join us below, right after a word from our sponsor:
Here at Top Comments we welcome longtime as well as brand new Daily Kos readers to join us at 10pm Eastern. We strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it either to topcomments at gmail or to the Top Comments group mailbox by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
Which of course begs the question, my dear, smart, witty Kossacks- besides that damnable wig, what are his other Horcruxes? I am absolutely positive that one is his Twitter Account, because any attempt to pry that from him or suggest it is NOT in his control drives him mad. What other items might be Trump Horcruxes? Please share in the comments after perusing what you really come here for, the trio of Top Comments, Mojo and Pictures that form the backbone of this longrunning community diary series! Thanks for tonight’s magic goes to Professor of Formatting Arts BeninSC.
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
Note: Especially during this passionate primary season, please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
From foresterbob:
The diary that I posted yesterday, Careening Towards Totality, generated many excellent comments. One of the best came in late, and was not seen by very many readers. But this string containing 3 comments by Got A Grip really captures the frustration and isolation that progressives living in rural America deal with day after day.
To those Kossacks living in comfortably liberal cities who think that we should write off the rural parts of the country, read this first-person account and see if you still feel the same way.
(Note from BeninSC about this nomination: This comment nomination is one of the best I can ever recall getting at Top Comments. It is an entire thread, and I really hope people will read it! Got a Grip’s first two or three remarks are out of recommendability, but still well worth the read. And she provides a link to this comment from Sunday, that is ALSO worth reading. Please don’t miss these comments. If you cannot rec the comments, you can still leave a reply! And just an FYI: foresterbob’s diary was at 448 recs when I finished formatting this submission, also worth a read, if you missed it yesterday!)

Is this comment from webranding. Like the comments from Got a Grip, the comment focuses on human sharing and relating with a background in rural America. (Note from BeninSC: Please do not miss evergreen’s fine reply!)
Highlighted by ChuckInReno:
Is this great comment by casoi, also in a Heartland thread, also a tale of heart and hate in rural America. casoi calls some of them ‘Hopelesslanders,’ and that’s a sad thing to have to say about anyone.
Is this fine comment by Urizen on Democrats, cooperative politics and the real threat of ‘ideological purity.’
Top Mojo ala mik!
