The DKonversation: Something to talk about
Today’s question:
- Can you write funny/snarky/quirky captions to these pictures?
Comedy is one of the most important areas where the Blue Team has always had a clear advantage over our political opponents.
Since I am not blessed with the gift of comedy, I appreciate it all the more when I see someone else doing it well. “Caption this” photo threads are all over the place today, so I thought DK could join in the fun.
I have to leave the serious responses to last night’s speech for others to write. After all the intense news of the past few days, I’d rather try to lighten the mood a little.
#1: Liz Cheney and Joe Biden fist bump
We can assume Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) was seated on the aisle on purpose in the hope of creating an opportunity for a photo like this. What a surprise that the Cheney family is rejecting the Big Lie and managing to stand firm (so far) against the worst the GQP can throw at them.

I’m on this side but I’m wearing a blue suit just to rub their noses in it.
#2: Chief Justice going solo like Diana Ross
The Hon. John Roberts, chief justice of the United States, was the only member of the Supreme Court present at the address last night.
It’s probably just as well that Justices Alito, Barrett, Kavanaugh, and Thomas stayed home so we didn’t have to watch their disapproving smirks all night, but it might have been fun to see Sotomayor, Kagan, and Breyer’s delight at hearing a real president speak.

I don’t want to share the break room with four new co-workers
#3: Ted Cruz takes a snooze
One man’s excitement is another man’s snoozefest. Cruz claims he was bored by the speech but since he is not known for truth-telling, I doubt that is the real reason he grabbed a bit of shut-eye. For all we know, he did it on purpose to get attention.
He was nodding off during the immigration reform part of the speech, showing everyone his willingness to work with the president on an issue of primary importance to the state he ostensibly represents.
Cruz is by far the easiest target of the night so even if you don’t have any ideas about the first two photos, you might come up with something for this one.

Are the cameras on me? I can’t open my eyes to check or I’ll ruin tomorrow’s front-page photo of me sleeping!
